File the case
POST /v1/cases with both parties, the amount (up to the rules’ claim limit), the category and your transaction record. Rubicourt assigns an arbitrator at random and emails each party a link to its case page.2
Add your records
POST /v1/cases/{id}/evidence attaches files as platform records. Parties file their own statements and evidence on their case pages, or you can submit a party’s statement with POST /v1/cases/{id}/statements.3
Follow the stages
Webhooks:
case.created, case.stage_changed, case.award_issued, case.appeal_filed, case.closed.4
Read the award
GET /v1/cases/{id}/award returns the award and any appeal decision. binding is the one in force, and net_cents says who pays whom. GET /v1/cases/{id}/award/pdf downloads the signed PDF.5
Confirm payment
Payment is due 30 days after the award is final. If you pay it, for example from escrow, call
POST /v1/cases/{id}/payment with {"status": "paid"}. You receive case.award_paid.
