Data Source

All documents come from the U.S. Department of Justice release of Jeffrey Epstein-related records on January 30, 2026. The documents are indexed and searchable via the DugganUSA public API.

  • Source: DOJ Epstein Records
  • Index: DugganUSA Analytics
  • Coverage: 44,886+ document files (3+ million pages)
  • Content: Court filings, depositions, flight logs, financial records, communications, evidence inventories, and more

Piping & Integration

Results go to stdout as JSON, making it easy to pipe into other tools:

# Pipe to jq for filtering
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "Maxwell" --limit 100 | jq '.hits[] | .people'

# Save results to file
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "flight logs" --limit 500 > flight-logs.json

# Count total hits
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "Palm Beach" | jq '.totalHits'

# Extract all mentioned people
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "2005" --limit 100 | jq '[.hits[].people[]?] | unique'

Troubleshooting

"Cannot reach API" Check your internet connection. The DugganUSA API may have temporary downtime.

"No results found" Try broader search terms. The search is keyword-based — use names, locations, or document types rather than full sentences.

Slow responses The API typically responds in 100-900ms. Larger result sets (limit > 100) may take slightly longer.
