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

  • Government-affairs sales triggers: spot companies that just hired a lobbying firm (new RR registrations) 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.

Input

  • Filing year (default 2026).
  • Client name contains, such as "Microsoft".
  • Registrant (lobbying firm) name contains, such as "Akin".
  • Filing type codes, such as RR (new registration), Q1–Q4 (quarterly), Q3A (amendment) or 1T–4T (termination).
  • General issue codes, such as TAX, HCR, DEF, CPI, ENG or BUD.
  • Minimum income/expenses (USD).
  • Posted after / before dates (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • Max results (1–5,000, newest first).
  • User-Agent contact.

Compliance

  • Uses only the official public LDA REST API (https://lda.gov/api/v1/), with anonymous access, no login and no API key.
  • The data is public disclosures filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
  • Requests are politely throttled to about 1 per second, back off on 429 and 5xx responses, and send a declared User-Agent.
  • No anti-bot measures are bypassed and nothing is scraped from behind a login.
