Immediate Search

This tutorial demonstrates how to perform immediate (real-time) searches for case and party records using the PCLClient class. These types of queries return results instantly and are suited for simple lookups.

Case Search

Use PCLClient.search_cases() to search for cases by various parameters.

Example:

from pacersdk.client import PCLClient

client = PCLClient(
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    environment="qa"
)

result = client.search_cases({
    "caseTitle": "Smith vs"
})
print(result)

Party Search

Use PCLClient.search_parties() to find parties by name or role.

Example:

from pacersdk.client import PCLClient

client = PCLClient(
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    environment="qa"
)

result = client.search_parties({
    "lastName": "Johnson"
})
print(result)
