# us-congress-trades

Pulls disclosed US congressional trades into your agent, filtered by member, ticker or date. Handy when you need one lawmaker's filings or every trade in a stock.

## What it does

The server returns Periodic Transaction Reports, one row per trade. A row carries the lawmaker's name and chamber, state and district, the asset and its ticker, the transaction type, the reported amount bracket, transaction and notification dates, ownership, and filing IDs. Records are normalised from official House and Senate STOCK Act filings.

You can narrow by name, ticker, a single date or a range. Every parameter is optional, so an empty run just returns the latest trades. `Max_Results` caps a run between 1 and 1000 rows.

It is hosted on Apify, so an Apify account and API key are required. Billing covers each run plus every transaction returned; there is no monthly rental. Amounts stay as the brackets lawmakers filed, so do not expect exact figures.
