### get_law_full_text

Retrieve the full text of a specific Italian law/act. Returns the official title, subtitle, and legislative text with article numbering preserved (Art. 1, Art. 2, etc.). Both parameters are available in search results. For repealed or not-yet-effective laws, text may indicate the status rather than the original content.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `codice_redazionale` | string | Yes | Unique code for the act (from search results field codice_redazionale, e.g. '26G00070') |
| `publication_date` | string | Yes | Publication date in YYYY-MM-DD format (from search results field publication_date) |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-normattiva-it-api-53f74d5b/get_law_full_text \

  -d '{"codice_redazionale":"<string>","publication_date":"<string>"}'
```

### search_laws

Search for Italian laws/acts using advanced filters (year, act type, number, title text, body text). Returns paginated results with 20 items per page. At least one search parameter should be provided. The act_type parameter accepts either the display name (e.g. 'LEGGE') or the internal code (e.g. 'PLE'). Each result includes metadata and identifiers needed to retrieve the full text via get_law_full_text.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
