Track new and recently introduced U.S. federal bills by keyword, status, or Congress number, via the public GovTrack.us API: bill number, title, sponsor, chamber, and current legislative status.
Built for policy, government-affairs, and lobbying teams who need to catch new bills touching a topic without checking congress.gov by hand.
Input
{"keyword": "climate","currentStatus": "","congress": null,"daysBack": 7,"maxResults": 25}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
keyword | string (optional) | Free-text search against bill titles, e.g. "climate" or "broadband". Leave blank for all recently introduced bills. |
currentStatus | string (optional) | Filter to one exact legislative status, e.g. "introduced", "reported", "passed_bill", "enacted_signed", "vetoed_pocket". See the input schema description for the full valid list — GovTrack rejects unrecognized values with a clear error. |
congress | number (optional) | Limit to one numbered Congress, e.g. 119 for the current 2025-2027 Congress. |
daysBack | number | Only return bills introduced within this many days. Default 7, max 365. |
maxResults | number | Max bills to return. Default 25, max 100. |
Output
One record per matching bill:
{"billNumber": "H.R. 10095","title": "To amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to provide per diem eligibility for required leave of members of the Foreign Service.","congress": 119,"chamber": "house","status": "Introduced","statusDate": "2026-08-13","introducedDate": "2026-08-13","isAlive": true,"sponsorName": "Rep.

How it works
Direct calls to the public GovTrack.us API — no proxy, no key, no scraping. GovTrack aggregates official congress.gov/THOMAS legislative data into a clean public API.
Pricing note
Billed per search, not per bill returned — one charge whether the search returns 0 bills or 100.
