While researchers can use our API and bulk data to access standardized metadata and text for all of the cases in the CAP dataset, we also want to make it possible to share specialized and derivative datasets.

Read more of "Connecting Data with the Supreme Court Database (SCDB) and Caselaw Access Project"You may have seen Perma.cc links in a number of documents of current interest, including the Trial Memorandum of the U.S. House of Representatives in the Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump (archived at https://perma.cc/BG56-2KXH) and the Trial Memorandum of President Donald J. Trump (archived at https://perma.cc/XG5W-KRQF). Interestingly, both documents cite Perma links without citing the original URL that Perma archived; generally, you would include both in your citation.
As an exercise, I used Perma’s public API to look up the URLs for the Perma links cited in these two documents; here are CSV files listing the 148 links in the House Memorandum (one ill-formed) and the 129 links in the President’s memorandum. (Note that both CSV files include duplicates, as some links are repeated in each document; I’m leaving the duplicates in place in case you want to read along with the original documents.)
