GET /v1/congress
Congressional stock trades, parsed from US House STOCK Act periodic transaction reports.
Each record carries the member, state and district, ticker, buy or sell, the disclosed dollar range, the
transaction and disclosure dates, and a link to the House disclosure PDF. Use /v1/congress for
the recent feed or /v1/congress/{ticker} for one stock.
House-only for now. The Senate feed is coming. Amounts are dollar
ranges, not exact figures, and under the STOCK Act a trade can be disclosed up to 45 days
after it happens — so read this for pattern, not timing. Not investment advice.
