Access India legal articles from Mondaq via API. Get titles, authors, law firms, topics, summaries, and publication dates from the India browse page.
What is the Mondaq API?
The Mondaq India API exposes 1 endpoint — list_articles — that returns structured data for the latest legal articles published on Mondaq's India browse page. Each article object includes 7 fields: title, publication date, contributing law firm, author names, practice area topic, teaser summary, and a direct article URL. Results are ordered most-recent-first and support pagination via page and limit parameters.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/412135eb-f86b-473e-acaa-e567086ce0a4/list_articles?page=1&limit=10' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

Retrieves the latest India legal articles from Mondaq's public browse page. Each article includes title, publication date, contributing law firm, author names, practice area/topic, a teaser summary, and the article URL. Articles are ordered most-recent-first. The listing page contains approximately 34 articles; pagination slices through them by page and limit. Each article requires a detail-page fetch for date and author, so response time scales with limit.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| page | integer | Page number for paginating through the article listing. |
| limit | integer | Number of articles per page (1–50). |

}About the Mondaq API
What the API Returns
The list_articles endpoint retrieves articles from Mondaq's India legal content listing. Each entry in the articles array carries title, date_published, firm (the contributing law firm), authors (an array of author names), topic (the practice area or subject category), summary (a short teaser), and url (the canonical link to the full article on Mondaq). The response also includes page, limit, and total_on_page for pagination context.
Pagination and Filtering
Two optional input parameters control result volume. page accepts an integer to step through the article listing beyond the first page. limit accepts an integer between 1 and 50 to set how many articles are returned per call. There is no server-side filter by firm, author, or topic — filtering on those fields must be done client-side after fetching.
Coverage Scope
All articles returned are sourced from Mondaq's public India browse page, which aggregates contributions from law firms and legal practitioners covering Indian law. Topics span commercial, regulatory, tax, employment, IP, and other practice areas. Articles are ordered by recency, so the freshest content surfaces at the top of page 1.
The Mondaq API is a managed, monitored endpoint for mondaq.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when mondaq.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official mondaq.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Monitor new Indian legal developments by polling
list_articlesfor articles published after a givendate_published. - Aggregate law firm publishing activity by grouping returned
firmvalues to track which firms are most active on Mondaq India. - Build a legal topic feed by filtering the
topicfield client-side to surface only tax or IP articles. - Index Mondaq India articles into a search engine using the
url,title, andsummaryfields for each result. - Track author publication frequency by collecting
authorsacross paginated calls and counting occurrences. - Populate a legal newsletter digest with
title,firm,summary, andurlfields from the latest page of results.

Does Mondaq have an official developer API?+
What does `list_articles` return for each article?+
title, date_published, firm (the contributing law firm name), authors (array), topic (practice area), summary (short teaser text), and url (the full Mondaq article link). The endpoint does not return the full article body text.Can I filter articles by topic or law firm directly in the API request?+
list_articles endpoint accepts only page and limit as input parameters. There are no server-side filters for topic, firm, or authors. You need to filter those fields from the response array in your own code.Does this API cover Mondaq content from countries other than India?+
Is full article body text available through this API?+
summary field, not the complete article body. The url field links to the full article on Mondaq for manual reading. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a detail endpoint that fetches full article content.
