`scraped_at`	ISO-8601 scrape timestamp

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description

Usage Examples

Fetch today's Congressional Record (metadata only):

{
  "dateFrom": "2026-05-15",
  "dateTo": "2026-05-15",
  "includeFullText": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Download full text from a specific Congress:

{
  "congress": 119,
  "dateFrom": "2026-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2026-03-31",
  "includeFullText": true,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Backfill historical speeches:

{
  "dateFrom": "1995-01-04",
  "dateTo": "1995-12-31",
  "includeFullText": true,
  "maxItems": 5000
}

Notes

Text coverage: Only articles with an associated Formatted Text URL include article text. PDF-only records (common pre-2000) will have article_text: null even with includeFullText: true.
Text size cap: article_text is capped at 50,000 characters per article.
Rate limit: With includeFullText: true, the scraper makes 2–3 API/HTTP requests per article. The default delay (400ms between requests) keeps throughput well under the 5000 req/hr limit.
Pre-1995 records: Prior to 1995, digitized text is limited. The API will return issue metadata but article text may be unavailable.
