Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/raw/main/banner.jpg) ## ๐Ÿ›๏ธ GovTrack US Congress Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export US Congress data in seconds.** Pull **roles, bills, and roll-call votes** filtered by congress number and chamber. Senators, representatives, committee assignments, contact details, and full legislative metadata. No API key, no registration. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-13 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 3 entity modes** ยท **๐Ÿ›๏ธ 119 Congresses** ยท **๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ House + Senate** ยท **๐ŸŒ GovTrack public API** The **GovTrack US Congress Scraper** queries the [GovTrack.us](https://www.govtrack.us) public REST API and returns rich records across **three entities**: lawmaker roles, bills, and roll-call votes. GovTrack is a non-partisan civic-tech project that has tracked the United States Congress since 2004, archiving every member, bill, amendment, and vote in machine-readable form. The catalog covers **every congress from the 1st (1789) to the current 119th**, both chambers, and every roll-call vote and bill across more than two centuries of legislative history. This Actor exposes congress and chamber filters at the API level, so chamber-specific or congress-specific exports are fast. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | Journalists, policy researchers, advocacy groups, lobbyists, political scientists, civic-tech developers, election analysts, government-affairs teams | Lawmaker contact lists, vote tracking, bill monitoring, committee mapping, longitudinal congressional analysis, civic-app data feeds, accountability dashboards | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the GovTrack Scraper does Three entity modes in a single Actor: - ๐Ÿ‘ค **Roles.** Lawmaker roles with person block (name, party, state, district, gender, birthday, bioguide ID, OpenSecrets ID, C-SPAN ID, social IDs), role type (senator / representative), title, leadership position, senator class and rank, start and end dates, current flag, congress numbers, official website, phone, office, mailing address, contact form URL, and RSS feed URL. - ๐Ÿ“œ **Bills.** Bill identifiers, titles, congress, chamber, sponsor, status, introduced and current-status dates, committees, subjects, related bills, summaries, and link to GovTrack and Congress.gov. - ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ **Votes.** Roll-call votes with chamber, vote number, congress, session, date, result, vote type, related bill or amendment, total counts (Yea / Nay / Present / Not Voting), and individual member positions. Filter by **congress number** (1 to 119) and **chamber** (House or Senate, `currentOnly` toggle for roles). > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** the U.S. Congress publishes data across half a dozen official portals (Congress.gov, GPO, House Clerk, Senate.gov) with no unified API. GovTrack consolidates all of it. This Actor turns that consolidation into a downloadable CSV/JSON in two minutes. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded Congress dataset._ --- ### โš™๏ธ Input
InputTypeDefaultBehavior
entityenum"role"One of role, bill, vote.
maxItemsinteger10Records to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
congressinteger(empty)Congress number (1-119). Empty = all.
chamberstring""One of house or senate. Empty = both.
currentOnlybooleantrueRoles only: limit to currently sitting members.
**Example: every current senator.** ```json { "entity": "role", "chamber": "senate", "currentOnly": true, "maxItems": 100 } ```` **Example: bills introduced in the 118th Congress House.** ```json { "entity": "bill", "congress": 118, "chamber": "house", "maxItems": 1000 } ``` > โš ๏ธ **Good to Know:** chamber routing differs by entity. Roles map `chamber` to `role_type` (`senate` to `senator`, `house` to `representative`). Bills repeat the `bill_type` query parameter four times for the chamber's bill subtypes (e.g. `hr`, `hjres`, `hconres`, `hres` for House). Votes use the `chamber` parameter directly. The Actor handles this routing for you so the same `chamber` input works across all three modes. Senators carry `senator_class` (class1, class2, class3) and `senator_rank` (junior / senior) directly. *** ### ๐Ÿ“Š Output Output shape varies by entity. Each role record carries roughly 30 fields; bills and votes carry their own native schemas. #### ๐Ÿงพ Roles schema (selected fields) | Field | Type | Example | |---|---|---| | ๐Ÿ†” `id` | string | `"C001035"` (bioguide ID) | | ๐Ÿ‘ค `person` | object | Full person block (name, gender, birthday, social IDs) | | ๐Ÿ“ `state` | string | `"ME"` | | ๐ŸŽ‰ `party` | string | `"Republican"` | | ๐Ÿ›๏ธ `role_type` | string | `"senator"` or `"representative"` | | ๐Ÿ“œ `title` | string | `"Sen."` | | ๐Ÿ‘” `leadership_title` | string | null | `"Senate Minority Whip"` | | ๐ŸŽ“ `senator_class` | string | `"class2"` | | ๐Ÿ… `senator_rank` | string | `"senior"` | | ๐Ÿ“… `startdate` | string | `"2021-01-03"` | | ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ `enddate` | string | `"2027-01-03"` | | โœ… `current` | boolean | `true` | | ๐Ÿ”ข `congress_numbers` | number\[] | `[117, 118, 119]` | | ๐ŸŒ `website` | string | `"https://www.collins.senate.gov"` | | โ˜Ž๏ธ `phone` | string | `"202-224-2523"` | | ๐Ÿข `office` | string | `"413 Dirksen Senate Office Building"` | | ๐Ÿ“ฌ `address` | string | full mailing address | | ๐Ÿ“ `contact_form` | string | URL | | ๐Ÿ“ก `rss_url` | string | URL | | ๐Ÿ•’ `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 | `"2026-05-13T22:26:21.663Z"` | #### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Sample records

Pick an entity (role / bill / vote), set congress and chamber filters, click Start, and the Actor hits the GovTrack REST API with server-side filters and pagination. Records are emitted as clean JSON ready for download. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup. #### ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Where does the data come from? Directly from the GovTrack.us public API at `www.govtrack.us/api/v2`. GovTrack is operated by Civic Impulse, LLC and has consolidated U.S. federal legislative data since 2004. #### ๐Ÿ”ข Which Congresses are covered? Every Congress from the 1st (1789) through the current 119th. Older roles, bills, and votes were back-filled by GovTrack from historical records. #### ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Does it include individual votes by member? Yes, when you query the vote entity. The full voter list (Yea / Nay / Present / Not Voting) is part of each roll-call vote record. The roles entity returns lawmaker biographies; bill and vote entities surface the rest. #### ๐Ÿ“ž Does the role record include phone and office address? Yes. Currently sitting members carry phone, office, address, contact form URL, and RSS feed. Historical roles may omit some of these depending on when the member served. #### ๐Ÿ” How often is the dataset refreshed? GovTrack ingests new bills and votes within hours of their official publication and updates member rosters at the start of each Congress. Every run of this Actor pulls live, so your dataset reflects current GovTrack data at run time. #### ๐Ÿ†” What ID conventions are used? Members carry a Library-of-Congress `bioguideid` (e.g. `C001035`), OpenSecrets `osid`, and C-SPAN `cspanid`. Bills carry GovTrack IDs of the form `hr123-118`. Votes carry chamber + congress + session + vote number tuples. #### โฐ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (hourly, daily) and keep a downstream civic database in sync. #### โš–๏ธ Is this data legal to use? Yes. U.S. federal legislative data is in the public domain. GovTrack republishes it under permissive terms. Review GovTrack's terms of service for your specific use case, especially for commercial redistribution at scale. #### ๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor? No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and unlocks scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets. #### ๐Ÿงช What if I need state-level legislative data? This Actor covers only the U.S. Congress. For state legislatures, reach out via the contact form below to request a companion state-level scraper. #### ๐Ÿ†˜ What if I need help? Our support team is here to help.
