get_case

Full record of one case by its reference (TMR-0123) or URL slug: summary, machine, dated timeline of what each source established, the sources with their tier and archive copy, and any linked NHTSA Standing General Order report.

idstring, required

Case reference like TMR-0123, a slug, or the case URL

page	integer
year	string
crash	string	What the vehicle crashed with, e.g. Passenger Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist
grain	string	Default report

entity	string	Reporting entity exactly as filed, e.g. Waymo LLC, Tesla, Zoox
program	string	ADS = driverless, ADAS = Level 2 driver assistance
severity	string	Highest injury severity alleged, e.g. Fatality, Serious, Minor, No Injuries Reported, Unknown
