exact search with cases/search api

williamtang

hi, im trying to do a cases search with cases/search api, my query body is this:

{
    "query": "primaryName=='google'",
    "detailLevel": "CASE_AND_RESULTS_AND_AGGREGATED_RESULTS",
    "sort": [
        {
            "columnName": "creationDate",
            "order": "DESCENDING"
        }
    ],
    "pagination": {
        "itemsPerPage": 25,
        "pageReference": null
    }
}

the problem is that this is a fussy search, it will return results with similar cases like 'google llc', 'google Ireland', 'google ltd', 'GOOGLE ASIA PACIFIC PTE LTD' etc, but we want exact search so that only cases for 'google' are returned, how can we achieve this?

William,

You can find out if a case exists or not by calling on endpoint: SEQ-case-check-caseid-availablity: Check caseId availability (HEAD https://api-worldcheck.refinitiv.com/v2/caseIdentifiers?caseId={{available-case-id}})

For this endpoint, you would need to enter the case Id. If you get a 200 successful HTTP response, it means that the case exists already. If you receive a 404 Not Found HTTP response, then it means that the case Id does not exist.

Keep in mind that when creating a case, if you don't input a string in the request body, then one is automatically created when you send the request. There's the option to input your own case Id to meet your needs and to possibly make the case Id search more straightforward. You can find more information about this endpoint here: World-Check One API Documentation

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Judith
