It should be a legal requirement for every document that is public record to be available via a standardized API, none of this shit with paying tens of thousands of dollars or only being able to look at it in person
Yes, but the only reason sealed documents are not getting leaked left and right is them not being part of API. No private company would trust courts to deal with trade secret disputes otherwise because we all know their security is nonexistent.
They would also need a complete structural overhaul to implement something like that, since most states use standalone systems, while the federal system uses PACER.

Maybe it could be a separate system and they just have to duplicate stuff into it when it becomes public
