ICLR has published two public RSS feeds of new case law published on ICLR.4. The new RSS feeds are ideal for staying up to date with new precedent-setting case law and for integration within larger knowledge management systems.
General
New content is added to ICLR.4 on a daily basis. The types of content added to the platform include:
- New law reports (e.g. cases reported in The Law Reports and The Weekly Law Reports)
- New WLR Daily summaries (like this one)
- New raw judgment transcripts (like this one)
- New Case Info records (like this)
The public feeds currently available provide updates on the first two content types listed above: law reports and WLR Daily case summaries.
We have created two “flavours” of the same feeds:
- The Base Feed: standard RSS structure
- The Expanded Feed: standard RSS + additional markup to aid information extraction
Base RSS Feed
The Base RSS feed provides a pure-RSS solution in which each item is structured using a standard RSS structure, like so:

Parameters
Days (mandatory parameter)
The feed can be set to retrieve entries for the most recently content loaded into over the last n days, where n is an integer between 1 and 30.
So, in order to retrieve a feed of entries for all new content added to ICLR.4 over the last ten days, the following URL would be used: https://www.iclr.co.uk/documents/latest/days/10/rss.
This parameter is mandatory.
Series (optional parameter)
The feed can optionally be set to retrieve entries for new content published in a specific ICLR series of reports using the series= parameter. For example, in order to constrain the feed against entries for the WLR Daily case summaries over the last 10 days the following URL would be used: https://www.iclr.co.uk/documents/latest/days/10/rss?series=WLRD
It is important to note that the argument passed to the series= parameter is case sensitive.
