AI assistant for traffic ticket appeals API
Build workflows that generate appeal documents, validate court rules, and file to state courts — via REST.
$npm install trafficappeal-sdk Court filings via structured API
Define case facts, cite statutes, and file to the correct court in one call. We validate jurisdiction rules before submission.
```python
import trafficappeal
client = trafficappeal.Client(api_key="your_key")
case = trafficappeal.Case(
state="CA",
court="traffic",
ticket_type="speeding",
facts={"speed": 85, "limit": 65, "date": "2024-01-15"}
)
result = client.file(case)
print(result.status) # 'filed'
```Multi-state rule engine
50+ jurisdictions, unified API. State-specific deadlines, fine thresholds, and jurisdictional rules are abstracted away.
```javascript
const appeal = await client.appeals.create({
state: 'CA',
docket: 'TCC-2024-00142',
grounds: 'procedural_error',
documents: ['notice.pdf', 'affidavit.pdf']
});
console.log(appeal.deadline); // '2024-02-14T23:59:59Z'
```Built-in retry and webhooks
Failed filings are retried with exponential backoff. Webhook delivery confirms status across the entire submission lifecycle.
- Automatic retry on 5xx errors
- Webhook notifications for all status transitions
- Dead-letter queue for failed submissions
```bash
# Webhook payload example
{
"event": "filing.status_changed",
"case_id": "ca_tcc_2024_00142",
"status": "accepted",
"timestamp": "2024-01-20T14:32:00Z"
}
```FAQ
What does the API do exactly?
TrafficAppeal.ai provides REST endpoints that handle the technical layer of traffic ticket appeals: court rule validation (deadlines, fine thresholds, jurisdiction requirements), document assembly from structured inputs, and submission to traffic courts. You retain full control over the end-user experience.
Do I need a law license to use it?
No. The API is designed for developers integrating it into products or internal workflows — similar to LegalZoom or DoNotPay's document-prep positioning. It does not provide legal advice, and we recommend your product include appropriate disclaimers for end users.
Which states have court rule coverage?
As of Q1 2024, we cover 50+ US states and territories. Each jurisdiction has structured rule data for traffic court deadlines, filing fees, and procedural requirements. See `/v1/jurisdictions` for coverage details.
What is the pricing model?
Usage-based pricing. No monthly minimums or annual commitments. The free tier includes 100 API calls/month. Paid tiers scale per call volume. See `/pricing` for full details.
What happens if a filing fails?
Transient failures (network timeouts, 5xx from courts) are automatically retried with exponential backoff. Persistent failures trigger a webhook event (`filing.failed`) with error details so you can log, alert, and resubmit manually if needed.
Is there SDK support?
Yes. Official SDKs are available for Python, Node.js, and Go. The REST API is fully documented with curl examples for any language or platform supporting HTTP.
