The ingestion pipeline follows a census-first approach:
scripts/census.ts): Calls the MevzuatDatatable API to enumerate all lawsscripts/ingest.ts): Fetches each law's full text via the iframe content endpointscripts/lib/parser.ts): Extracts articles (Madde), transitional articles (Gecici Madde), additional articles (Ek Madde), and definitionsscripts/build-db.ts): Compiles all seed files into the SQLite database with FTS5A daily GitHub Actions workflow monitors mevzuat.gov.tr for:
| Check | Method |
|---|---|
| New laws | MevzuatDatatable API pagination |
| Amendments | Content hash comparison |
| Repealed laws | Status field monitoring |
This project uses multiple layers of automated security scanning:

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Statute text is sourced from official mevzuat.gov.tr publications. However:
- This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
- Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings
- Amendment tracking may have delays -- always check mevzuat.gov.tr for the latest version
- Some laws (especially amendment laws) may have 0 parsed provisions if they only modify other statutes
