Congress Stock Trading & Financial Disclosure Scraper API

Search US Congressional financial disclosure records covering both the House of Representatives and Senate. Extract actual stock trades -- ticker symbol, buy/sell, amount, transaction date -- directly from PTR filing PDFs and Senate eFD PTR pages. For House and Senate annual/original disclosures, parse holdings/assets, earned income, liabilities, and Part 4a transaction summary rows where the official filing exposes structured text.

What data is included?

• Stock trades parsed from PTR filings -- individual House PDF and Senate eFD transactions with ticker, type (Purchase/Sale), amount range, and dates
• Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) -- stock trades that members must disclose within 45 days
• Annual Financial Disclosures -- House and Senate annual/original reports include parsed holdings/assets, earned income, liabilities, and Part 4a transaction summaries when the official filing text is extractable
• Amendments -- corrections and updates to prior filings

Data comes directly from official government sources:

• House Clerk Financial Disclosures
• Senate Electronic Financial Disclosures (eFD)

Notes

• The Senate eFD flow uses the current browser-style search form plus the DataTables JSON endpoint. If Senate results are unavailable, House results are still returned.
• Transaction parsing works for House PTR PDFs and Senate eFD HTML PTR pages; annual/original disclosure parsing works for Senate eFD annual HTML pages and House annual PDFs with extractable text. Scanned/paper filings may still return metadata only.
• Data availability varies by year. Most complete data is from 2013 onward.
