Get structured data on US federal lobbying filings (LD-1 registrations, LD-2 quarterly reports, amendments and terminations), pulled live from the official, keyless Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) API at lda.gov/api/v1.
You get one clean, flattened row per filing, ready for a CRM, spreadsheet or alerting workflow.
Use cases

RRregistrations) or increased spend. That's a good signal for gov-affairs consultants, PR firms, law firms and policy-data vendors. - Compliance and due diligence: monitor which clients a firm represents, which issues they lobby on and which agencies they contact.
- Journalism and research: track lobbying on an issue (e.g.
TAX,HCR,DEF,CPI) or by a company, quarter by quarter. - Competitive intel: see who your competitors pay to lobby and on what.

- No anti-bot measures are bypassed and nothing is scraped from behind a login.
