## Example API Queries

### Get all Crime & Justice events

```python theme={null}
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.corpus.intrace.ai/v1/events",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "your-api-key"},
    params={"event_category": "crime"}
)
events = response.json()
```

### Get Homicide events

```python theme={null}
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.corpus.intrace.ai/v1/events",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "your-api-key"},
    params={
        "event_category": "crime",
        "event_type": "homicide"
    }
)
```

## Conceptual Guidance

Crime events are classified by both the **crime\_category** and **judicial\_status**:

* Use **severity** to indicate impact level (Minor → Critical)
* Track progression through the justice system via **judicial\_status**
* **Homicide** vs **Mass Casualty Attack**: Individual/small group killings vs large-scale attacks

The **law\_enforcement\_involved** flag indicates whether authorities are actively engaged in the case.
