Filevine has a partner API. Why would I use Integuru instead?

Filevine's partner API requires completing a formal qualification program and maintaining a partner relationship, which is impractical for most development teams on any near-term timeline. Legaltech startups validating a product, AI vendors adding Filevine support, or law firms building internal automation tools cannot wait months to begin accessing data they need now. Integuru provides direct HTTP access using the same endpoints the Filevine web application uses internally, so development can start immediately without a partner approval dependency.

Can Integuru access court portals alongside the Filevine integration?

Court portal access is handled as a separate integration. Integuru maps the internal HTTP requests that court-filing portals and state e-filing systems use and exposes them as structured API calls, using the same direct HTTP approach applied to Filevine. Integuru handles platforms with complex authentication, 2FA requirements, and session-based access: the category of systems that formal API programs never cover. Both your Filevine integration and any court portal integrations run from a single Integuru account.

How are Filevine credentials handled?

You authenticate your Filevine account through Integuru's onboarding flow once, which takes roughly 10 minutes. Integuru then manages session state, re-authentication, and any 2FA requirements automatically. The Production plan includes 24/7 on-call monitoring: if Filevine changes its authentication flow or internal endpoints, Integuru's team resolves the issue before it reaches your production calls.

Filevine API

Filevine's REST API requires a formal partner program and dedicated account access, blocking most development teams from matter, contact, time, and document workflows. Integuru can generate a production-ready HTTP API: chat with us to get started.

What Filevine currently offers publicly

Partner API only

Filevine has a REST API, but access requires joining a formal partner program and obtaining dedicated account access through that program. The API is not self-serve. Development teams outside the partner program (including legaltech startups, AI vendors, and law firms with internal engineering) have no path to programmatic access without first completing Filevine's partner qualification process.

How Integuru fills the gap

Integuru generates a production-ready HTTP API for Filevine without a partner agreement. It maps the authenticated network requests the Filevine web app already makes, handles the login flow including 2FA, covers the branching states real accounts hit, and keeps the API running with 24/7 on-call maintenance on production plans.

Planned endpoints

Filevine integration guide

Overview

Filevine is a configurable legal case management platform designed for litigation-heavy practices, particularly personal injury, mass tort, and plaintiff-side firms. Its project-based data model (where matters are organized as projects with configurable sections for different document and data types) gives firms significant flexibility in structuring their workflows. It is one of the more widely adopted platforms for high-volume plaintiff practices.

Filevine has a REST API, but it sits behind a formal partner program. Access requires applying to and being accepted into Filevine's partner network, obtaining dedicated API credentials through that program, and maintaining the partner relationship over time. For most teams building on Filevine data (legaltech startups, AI vendors adding Filevine to a list of supported platforms, or law firms that want to run internal automation) the partner program is not a viable path. There is no self-serve developer account, no trial API access, and no published timeline for partner approval.

This leaves teams in a familiar bind: the data they need is visible in the Filevine web interface, but there is no legitimate programmatic path to it. Integuru resolves this by generating a production-ready HTTP API for Filevine using direct HTTP requests against the same endpoints the Filevine web application sends during normal use.

Why Teams Need This Integration

Filevine's platform is built for high-volume litigation practices that run hundreds or thousands of matters concurrently. That scale creates specific integration needs that browser-based workarounds cannot meet reliably.

Medical record and document ingestion at volume. Personal injury and mass tort practices receive hundreds of medical records, deposition transcripts, and demand packages every week. Routing these documents into the correct Filevine project section (matching by client name, matter type, or external case ID) is a workflow that requires write access to Filevine's document store. The upload_document action covers this, including support for the section-path addressing that Filevine uses to organize documents within a project.

Contingency fee and billing automation. Filevine's billing model accommodates contingency-fee practices alongside hourly billing, which means get_billing_summary needs to return both traditional invoice data and contingency calculations. Finance teams and settlement management platforms need this data without requiring a paralegal to run a manual export from the Filevine billing interface.

AI assistant and intake automation. AI-powered intake tools, conflict check systems, and deadline management platforms all require live access to matter status, assigned attorney, and contact records. The list_matters, get_matter_detail, and list_contacts actions give these tools the structured data they need from Filevine without a partner relationship.

Legal Workflows This Integration Covers

The ten planned actions map to Filevine's project-based data model:

Project management: list_matters and get_matter_detail return Filevine project data including configurable section fields, phase history, and team assignments, the custom structure that makes Filevine useful for specialized practice areas.
Contact records: list_contacts and create_contact support client intake, conflict checking, and referral tracking across the firm's contact database.
Time tracking: list_time_entries and create_time_entry connect external time capture tools and AI assistants to Filevine's time log.
Document handling: list_documents and upload_document cover automated document filing by section path, the key Filevine-specific addressing requirement for document operations.
Task and action items: list_tasks surfaces Filevine project tasks in external workflow and deadline tracking tools.
Billing data: get_billing_summary returns invoiced amounts, outstanding balances, and contingency fee calculations for downstream finance and settlement management tools.

Adjacent Integrations

Real estate litigation and transactional practices often work across property records, deal data, and case files simultaneously. The Dealground integration provides programmatic access to commercial real estate listing data from the same Integuru account. The Wefunder integration demonstrates Integuru's approach to platforms with complex, gated authentication flows, the same class of technical challenge that Filevine's partner-program access and court portal logins represent.
