Docs. What Legible answers, how an answer reads, and every function.

Any question in a sentence, in any language.

Legible decides what it asks for, then runs the right function, or several when the sentence asks several things, each answered from its own source. It never calculates or advises; it says so and still gives the text or records named.

{
  "text": "What does Article 5 of GDPR say?"
}

The text of a Slovak or EU law, a whole act or one passage, as in force on a date (today when no date is given).

act takes whatever you have: a number (595/2003, 32016R0679, Regulation (EU) 2016/679), a name in any form (zákon o poľovníctve, polovnictvo, GDPR, ZDP) or a description. passage takes § 6 ods. 1, článok 5 ods. 1 písm. a), article 5(1)(a), or put it in act ("§ 6 ZDP"). The text is the source’s own, with its version and link. An act not held yet is taken in from its official source the first time it is asked for.

{
  "act": "zákon o poľovníctve",
  "passage": "§ 6 ods. 1"
}

Passages of the laws Legible holds, ranked by what they mean rather than the words they use, current text only.

Optionally inside one act (named any way law_text accepts). An act not held yet is taken in first; the answer then says so.

{
  "query": "company car used privately",
  "act": "595/2003"
}

Which acts exist: every Slovak and EU act in force, found by number, name or description.

With no query it lists the areas of law; with an area, the acts in it.

{
  "query": "hunting"
}

Every version of an act at its source, with the day each took effect, which one is in force today, which are coming, which Legible holds.

{
  "act": "595/2003"
}

One passage of an act as in force on two dates, side by side, with whether its text changed, two reads in one call.

The second date defaults to today.

{
  "act": "595/2003",
  "passage": "§ 4",
  "date_a": "2024-01-01"
}

A company’s identity, its names, LEI, ISINs, tickers, country, every kind of record Legible holds about it, with the latest few of each, and its links to others by kind (shareholders, short sellers, subsidiaries …), each with the call that opens it.

query takes a name in any spelling, an LEI, ISIN, ticker or SEC CIK.

{
  "query": "Erste Group"
}

A company’s records from the official registers, insider dealings, short positions, major holdings, buy-backs, insolvencies, prospectuses and more, newest first.

kind narrows to one kind of record (in your words); since/until to a window.

{
  "company": "Volkswagen",
  "kind": "short positions"
}

Rows from one kind of official register, across companies, optionally for one country, one company and a window, from what is held.

A register that is not held for a country is said so plainly, and the ask is remembered.

{
  "kind": "insolvencies",
  "country": "SK"
}

Who a company or a party is linked to in the official registers: its shareholders and what it holds, who is short it and what it is short, its parent and its subsidiaries, its insiders, the parties it shares a merger case or a lawsuit with, the authorities behind its contracts, aid and penalties.

of takes a company or any other party, a fund, a holder, an authority, a person, in your words. relation narrows to one kind of link (shareholders, holdings, short sellers, short positions, owner, subsidiaries, insiders, lawsuits, mergers …). with names a second party: the answer is then the link between the two, with the register rows that prove it. Every name in the answer carries the exact call that opens it, so you can go from anyone to anyone. The links are the registers’ own; Legible adds nothing.

{
  "of": "Volkswagen",
  "relation": "short sellers"
}

How two companies or parties are connected through the official registers: the shortest chains of links from the first to the second, the chains running the other way, and everyone linked to both.

Each step names its kind of link (holds, is short, owns …) and carries the call that shows the register rows behind it. from and to take a company or any other party in your words. When nothing connects the two, the answer says so.

{
  "from": "BlackRock",
  "to": "Volkswagen"
}

Points of a statistical series, rates, prices, indices and other numbers official sources publish, point in time (a revised value is its own row), newest first.

{
  "query": "ECB deposit facility rate"
}

A transaction in your words, Slovak or English, and the accounts the Slovak rulebook books it on: the operation from the rulebook’s catalog, its debit and credit accounts with their names, the rule and the paragraph it is quoted from, when it applies, and the alternatives it was told apart from.

An account’s number instead (518, účet 343) gives what belongs on that account and the operations that post to it. The rulebook’s answer for a kind of transaction, never a booking of yours, never a calculation.

{
  "transaction": "paid the office rent by bank transfer"
}

The library: every kind of fact Legible hands out, who owns it and how it is served, and which registers are read in which country.

With a query, only what matches, and if nothing does, Legible says so and remembers that someone asked.

{
  "query": "insolvency Slovakia"
}
