US Congress Legislators Scraper — Members, Contacts & IDs

Extract a complete, structured directory of the members of the United States Congress — every Senator and Representative — with party, state, district, official contact details, and dozens of cross-reference IDs. Pull the current Congress, the full historical roster, or both.

This Actor is built on the authoritative, continuously maintained unitedstates/congress-legislators public dataset. It returns clean JSON ready for civic-tech apps, government-affairs teams, lobbying/advocacy CRMs, journalists, and political data pipelines.

• Rich identifiers — Bioguide, FEC, OpenSecrets, GovTrack, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Ballotpedia IDs for easy joining to campaign-finance and voting datasets.

• No API key required.
