Filevine API

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.
