ranade-oss brings CanLII search and safer uploads into Mike
This fork pairs a Canadian legal-database connection with a more serious security posture for documents coming into the platform.
ranade-oss lets an organisation connect its own CanLII API key, giving users a route into CanLII, Canada's public legal-information database, without the fork holding the customer's key.
- CanLII connection - users can add their own key and search a structured, validated legal-data source.
- A2AJ source rework - the live-source connection has been substantially rebuilt and given additional testing.
- Quarantined uploads - incoming documents are isolated and sent through malware scanning before they are handled more broadly.
The upload design keeps powerful database credentials away from the separate scanning service, a small architectural detail with a meaningful security payoff.
So what Canadian legal teams and product builders who need trusted source material, or who accept client documents, should look closely at this fork.
