Financial disclosures are public record. Whether they were filed on time is the story. Pull House and Senate disclosures with a real dollar estimate on every filing and a flag for missed 45-day STOCK Act deadlines. No more squinting at price brackets or guessing who's late.

💵 Real dollar amounts Every filing gets a numeric estimate, not just a bracket you have to interpret yourself.

⏰ Late-filing flag Know instantly which filings broke the 45-day STOCK Act reporting deadline.

🏷️ Full member profile Party, state, district, and committee seats attached to every filing automatically.

🔔 Alert-ready monitor Only new filings since your last run, with a plain-English summary ready for Slack or email.

Congress Financial Disclosures Scraper pulls Periodic Transaction Reports filed by members of the US House and Senate under the STOCK Act. Search by member, state, ticker, or amount, or turn on monitor mode and get pinged only when a new filing lands. Every row comes with a numeric dollar estimate, a late-filing flag, and the member's party, state, district, and committee seats already attached.

🔍 What does Congress Financial Disclosures Scraper do?

It turns House and Senate financial disclosures into a spreadsheet or data feed, one row per disclosed transaction.

Two things set it apart from just reading the raw filings:

• Numeric transaction amounts. Filings only disclose a price bracket like "$1,001 to $15,000." This Actor turns that into amountMinUsd, amountMaxUsd, and a usable amountEstimateUsd, so you can sort, filter, and rank disclosures by size instead of squinting at brackets.
• A late-filing flag. The STOCK Act gives members 45 days to report a transaction. This Actor calculates the actual gap and flags every filing that missed it, turning a compliance question into a single boolean.

💡 Why use it?

"I cover congressional accountability." You need more than a screenshot of a filing. Pull disclosures by member or ticker and get the dollar amount, the filing date, and whether it was reported late. All in one row, ready for your story.

"I track STOCK Act compliance." Reading brackets by hand doesn't scale. Filter to late filings only and get a ranked list of who is missing the 45-day deadline, backed by numbers instead of a manual count.

"I need a dataset I can cite and defend." Every row traces back to the official House Clerk or Senate filing, not a secondhand aggregator. When you cite a number, you can point straight to the source document.

Most platforms that track congressional disclosures bundle it as a secondary feature behind a monthly subscription. This Actor charges only for the trade records you pull, with no subscription required.

🎯 Tips

• Build a compliance leaderboard. Turn on late filings only, run it with no member filter, and you have a ranked list of who consistently misses the 45-day deadline.
• Filter before you enrich. Use minAmountUsd to focus on disclosures big enough to matter before pulling the full dataset, especially on a wide date range.
• Schedule monitor mode weekly. New disclosures trickle in throughout the year. A weekly schedule catches them without burning budget on redundant re-checks.
• Watch the owner field. A transaction made by a spouse or dependent still counts under the STOCK Act and is included here, not filtered out.

❓ FAQ

Does this cover both the House and Senate? Yes. Set Chamber to Both, House only, or Senate only.

How is the late-filing flag calculated? As the number of days between the transaction date and the date it was reported, compared against the STOCK Act's 45-day deadline. Both dates come directly from the official filing.

Do I need any login or API key for the House or Senate sites? No. Both are public filing systems with no login required.

Can I get alerted to new filings automatically? Yes. Set Mode to Monitor for new trades and put the Actor on an Apify schedule. Each run after the first only returns filings submitted since the last one, and every row includes a ready-to-use summary line for Slack or email.

⚖️ Disclaimers

This Actor collects only publicly available financial disclosure filings from the official House Clerk and Senate eFD systems. It does not access any private data. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable law.
