Argentine law, readable — by a person, a program or a model.
What the Argentine State decides is published and public, but it lives in three places that do not talk to each other: the Official Gazette, InfoLEG and the SAIJ provincial database. Each has its own site, its own search and its own idea of what a norm is. To answer one question you often have to visit all three and know beforehand which one holds the answer.
notarum reads the three and serves them as one API, one reader and one set of tools for models. It does not opine, classify or score: it returns the raw, well-typed data, and that is its whole value.
Three sources, one question
The Gazette publishes what came out that day. InfoLEG keeps the norm as it stands today.
SAIJ has what the national Gazette never publishes: the 24 provinces. Knowing which one to ask
is half the work — so /v1/todo asks all three at once.
Sites built to read one at a time
The Gazette’s search pages a hundred at a time and never says how many results there are. notarum answers with a total, a page and a cursor, like an API should.
“Modified 7 times” — by which?
The catalog counts the amendments of a norm but does not name them. Knowing a law changed without knowing what changed it sends you looking elsewhere anyway. notarum lists them.
Nobody remembers to check
Following a topic means remembering to search for it. notarum watches after every update and tells you — by webhook or Atom feed — only what is new.
The Official Gazette
Editions by section and date, every notice with its full text and PDF annexes, the calendar of
publication days and the catalog of categories. Three sections: the fourth is a list of .ar
domain registrations, not law.
National law, current
The 428,000 norms InfoLEG maintains, searchable by type and number — ley 24240 finds that law
first — without needing to know the date.
Provincial law
81,000 laws, decrees, codes and constitutions from the 24 provinces since 1855, filterable by jurisdiction and by whether they are still in force.
What amended what
For any national norm, which norms amended it and which ones it amended, with the type, number, body and date of each.
Alerts that reach you
A saved search that runs after each update and delivers only what is new — to an n8n webhook or an Atom feed. Never the same thing twice.
MCP for models
Fifteen tools over JSON-RPC 2.0, so Claude or any MCP client can query the three sources directly instead of guessing.
Ready-made queries
Every route in the docs builds its own curl line and a valid n8n HTTP Request node from
the OpenAPI contract — no model involved, so it is always valid.
Runs itself
The catalogs refresh daily; the Gazette’s full text downloads weekly, overnight. Everything is also a button in the panel.
notarum links rather than promises. Measured against the real catalogs:
notarum is a self-hosted, open-source (MIT) member of the Escriba family. Like the rest of the suite it runs on your own hardware, keeps your data yours, shares the same design language and can sign in through Lockatus. It is an independent reader of public data and is not affiliated with the Official Gazette, InfoLEG or the Ministry of Justice.
