The 211 open missing_precedents include 99 Supreme serial-format rulings
(בג"ץ/בר"מ/עע"מ NNNN/YY) with no נט-format triple — fetchable only from
supremedecisions.court.gov.il. Decoded its public JSON API (no browser, no
CAPTCHA, no smart-card); validated live on בג"ץ 3483/05 + בר"מ 10212/16.
- court_fetch_supreme.py: rewrite. POST Home/SearchVerdicts with a structured
`document` ({Year:"YYYY", CaseNum, OldMainNumFormat:true, SearchText:[…]}) +
X-Requested-With header → records; GET Home/Download?path=&fileName=&type=4 →
PDF. The earlier attempt failed only on the request shape (string vs object).
2-digit→4-digit year; try candidate docs best-first (פסק-דין→pages), skipping
the published-report 's'-prefix files the free endpoint WAF-blocks.
- orchestrator: on successful ingest, close matching open missing_precedents
(link to the new case_law). End-to-end validated (בר"מ 10212/16 → corpus).
- backfill_missing_precedents.py: enqueue fetchable open gaps (supreme + net)
into court_fetch_jobs; the drainer fetches+ingests+closes. dry-run default.
- X13 spec + SCRIPTS.md updated (Tier-0 decoded, no longer a limitation).
Very old un-digitized Supreme cases (e.g. בג"ץ 389/87 → 0 records) → manual.

"""Tier 0 — Supreme Court verdict fetcher (X13), via supremedecisions.court.gov.il.
|
|
|
|
Pulls a published Supreme Court verdict PDF from the **public** decisions portal
|
|
— no smart-card, no CAPTCHA, no browser (pure httpx). Used for serial-format
|
|
citations (בג"ץ/בר"מ/עע"מ NNNN/YY) that have no נט-format triple and so can't go
|
|
through the Tier-1 נט-המשפט flow.
|
|
|
|
The portal is an AngularJS SPA over a small ASP.NET JSON API, reverse-engineered
|
|
and validated live (2026-06-08 on בג"ץ 3483/05 → 75 KB PDF). The flow:
|
|
|
|
POST Home/SearchVerdicts
|
|
body: {"document": {"Year": "YYYY", "CaseNum": "NNNN", "Month": {},
|
|
"dateType": 1, "publishDate": 8,
|
|
"SearchText": [<empty clause>],
|
|
"OldMainNumFormat": true}, "lan": 1}
|
|
→ {"data": [{Path, FileName, CaseName, Type, Pages, VerdictDt, ...}, ...]}
|
|
GET Home/Download?path=<Path>&fileName=<FileName>&type=4 → the verdict PDF
|
|
|
|
Two things are required to get JSON instead of an F5 WAF block (verified):
|
|
* the **X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest** header on every AJAX call;
|
|
* a **complete** browser header set (UA + Accept + Accept-Language).
|
|
|
|
A case can have many documents (interim החלטות + the final פסק דין). We pick the
|
|
verdict: prefer a record whose Type contains "פסק דין", else the most-paginated /
|
|
latest one. Politeness (INV-CF4): serial, with a cooldown.
