PACER Setup

Connecting a PACER account to Caddi

PACER connects to Caddi with the username and password of a PACER account.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • A production PACER Case Search Only account that is not enrolled in multifactor authentication (MFA). Filer accounts and other CM/ECF-level accounts must use MFA, so they can't be used.

  • Owner or Admin access to your Caddi organization

Step 1: Get a PACER Case Search Only account

If you already have a Case Search Only account that is not enrolled in MFA, skip to Step 2.

  1. Go to pacer.uscourts.gov/register-account/pacer-case-search-only.

  2. Click Register for a PACER account and complete the registration. There is no fee to register. Provide a credit card for prompt access; without one, PACER mails an activation code by U.S. mail (allow 7-10 business days).

  3. Do not enroll the account in optional MFA.

  4. Keep the account's username and password for Step 2.

Do not send this password by email, chat, or a support ticket. Paste it straight into Caddi in Step 2, or keep it in a password manager until you do.

Step 2: Add the credentials in Caddi

  1. In Caddi, open Settings, then Integrations.

  2. Under Connectors you can configure, find PACER - Custom Integration and click Configure.

  3. Paste the account's password into PACER Password.

  4. Enter the account's username into PACER Username.

  5. Click Save Configuration.
