Returns the full lawsuit profile of a Brazilian company (CNPJ), including counts, claim values, and monthly time-series for each legal category.
This is the most complete legal statistics endpoint for credit and risk assessment available in Brazil.
MainStats — Legal Category Breakdown
The MainStats object is the core of the response. It categorizes every
lawsuit the company is involved in across 10 buckets:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
total | All lawsuits, regardless of role or type |
reu_total | All lawsuits where the company is the defendant |
reu_trabalhista | Labor court cases (company as defendant) — typically the highest-volume risk category for Brazilian companies |
reu_civel | Civil court cases where the company is the defendant |
reu_execucao_fiscal | Tax enforcement proceedings — government collecting tax debt. Kept separate from civil cases due to their fundamentally different risk nature |
reu_outros | Other defendant cases not covered by the above categories |
autor_total | All lawsuits where the company is the plaintiff or claimant |
autor_civel | Civil cases where the company is the plaintiff |
autor_criminal | Criminal cases where the company appears as victim |
autor_outros | Other plaintiff cases |
Each bucket contains:
count_new— total lawsuits filed (all time)count_active— lawsuits currently activevalue_new— total claim value in BRL (all time)value_active— claim value of active lawsuits only in BRLmonthly_distribution— the above four metrics broken down byYYYY-MM, based on each lawsuit's notice date
Filtering by Time Range (last_years)
The last_years parameter filters all monthly_distribution fields to include
only the most recent N years of data. This significantly reduces response size
while keeping total counts and values intact.
For example, with last_years: 2 in 2026, only monthly data from 2025 and 2026
is returned. The global totals (TotalLawsuits, TotalValue, etc.) still
reflect the complete historical data.
This filter applies to:
MonthlyDistribution(global timeline)MainStats(all 10 category buckets)- All other distributions (Type, CourtName, Status, State, PartyType)
Typical usage: last_years: 2 for dashboards (recent data only),
last_years: 5 for trend analysis (medium-term view).
Additional Distributions (full response)
The full response includes MainStats plus monthly time-series for
several other dimensions. These additional distributions are omitted when only_main_stats: true is set:
- TypeDistribution — breakdown by lawsuit type string, e.g.
"RECLAMAÇÃO TRABALHISTA","EXECUÇÃO FISCAL","AÇÃO DE COBRANÇA","MONITÓRIA" - CourtNameDistribution — breakdown by court name, e.g.
"1ª VARA DO TRABALHO DE PORTO ALEGRE","VARA DE EXECUÇÕES FISCAIS" - StatusDistribution — breakdown by lawsuit status, e.g.
"ATIVO","ARQUIVADO","BAIXADO" - StateDistribution — breakdown by Brazilian state (UF), e.g.
"RS","SP","RJ"
Each of these distributions follows the same StatBucket structure as
MainStats, including monthly_distribution.
Response Size
The full response can be large for companies with extensive litigation
history (hundreds of lawsuits across decades). Use only_main_stats: true
to receive only the global totals and MainStats, omitting all other
distributions. This is recommended for dashboards and list views where
the granular distributions are not needed.
