> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://api.clearinghouse.net/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://api.clearinghouse.net/api-reference-v2/objects/document.md). # Document A case will contain many more documents than are uploaded to the Clearinghouse. We generally add documents that provide additional information that help someone understand what is going on in the case, such as complaints, opinions, orders, and settlement agreements. We also add documents that we find particularly interesting, such as letters between lawyers about how to litigate the case. Particularly interesting documents that apply more broadly, such as memoranda explaining a complex litigation strategy involving multiple cases, are uploaded as resources (see [Resource](/api-reference-v2/objects/resource.md)). Each document url endpoint returns a list of documents, where each document is a JSON dictionary.
Example: a completely blank document When accessing the \`api/v2p1/documents/?case=case\_id\` endpoint. ```javascript { "next": null, "previous": null, "results": [ { "id": null, "title": "", "no_title": false, "description": "", "public_note": "", "date": "", "date_is_estimate": false, "date_not_available": false, "document_type": "", "document_type_other": null, "document_status": "", "document_source": null, "order_type": null, "is_core_document": false, "court": "", "citation_paren": null, "citation_status": null, "cite_1_vol": null, "cite_1_reporter": null, "cite_1_page": null, "cite_2_vol": null, "cite_2_reporter": null, "cite_2_page": null, "cite_3_vol": null, "cite_3_reporter": null, "cite_3_page": null, "party_types": [], "per_curium": false, "ecf_number": "", "external_url": "", "clearinghouse_link": "", "file": "", "has_text": false, "text_url": "" } ] } ```
