• vi_statute(citation) — full text of a V.I.C. section by citation

word must appear in a section's heading or text. Heading matches list first, then code order. Returns citations, headings and a snippet.

• vi_search(title, query, limit?) — keyword search inside ONE title; every

names and section counts, for routing a subject to a title.

• vi_titles() — all 37 titles (1-34 plus 11A, 12A, 15A) with their official

A miss is an answer, not an error: an unknown title, a section the title does not carry, or a search with no match returns found: false with a reason and dataasof. An upstream failure (non-404 status, timeout, a page that no longer has the section markup) is a loud error, never found: false.

Data sources

Islands Code 2026 edition — the archive's own text edition, set from the Virgin Islands Code 2026 Edition, all 37 titles and 12,420 sections.

Why this source

The Virgin Islands was the one US jurisdiction without a code pack after DC and the other four inhabited territories shipped (fleet #2888-#2892). The only free copy of the current Code we had found sat behind a bot check, and the commercial publisher bars automated access (fleet #2907). Bruce pointed at USVI Public Records, which publishes the Code as readable text.

Reuse terms

From the publisher's own pages, quoted:

This pack fetches per request and copies nothing in bulk.

Being a polite client

The publisher bills the website host per gigabyte and asks software not to crawl it. The Code is only published there, one page per title (Title 14 is ~770 KB, Title 11A ~1.1 MB), so:

repeated lookups in the same title cost the publisher about one request a day;

• every fetch asks Cloudflare to keep the title page at the edge for a day, so

every query.

• vi_search needs a title instead of fanning out across all 37 pages for

If traffic grows enough that a full copy makes sense, ask the publisher first (tips@viupdate.com is on their machine-access page). Don't start crawling.
