Watch a book of lobbying clients and/or registrant firms and receive typed events when a new Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) filing (filing_uuid) appears for those names — LD-1 registrations, LD-2 quarterly activity reports, terminations, and amendments.
Not a nationwide LDA dump. Not Quorum / FiscalNote. Not an HTML scrape of the lda.senate.gov search UI.
Official source
- Senate Office of Public Records LDA REST API —
https://lda.gov/api/v1/(canonical;lda.senate.govredirects here) - Free; no API key required (anonymous ~15 req/min). Optional user key raises limits.
- Docs: https://lda.gov/api/

Modes
sourceMode | Behavior |
|---|---|
fixture (default) | Store / CI health path — emits only non-billable RUN_STATUS / FIXTURE_HEALTH (0 product charges) unless emitFixtureDemoEvents=true |
live | Poll official LDA API for each watchlist name/ID; baseline first-seen filing_uuids; emit events only for new UUIDs |
Matching honesty (read before buying)
- Name match is normalized string / substring (case-insensitive; punctuation stripped).
- DBA / trade-name / former-name aliases may miss. Prefer
clientIds/registrantIdswhen you have them. - First observation of each
filing_uuidis baseline only (no charge). Re-seen UUIDs stay quiet. - Anonymous API rate limit ≈ 15/min — default
requestPaceMs=4500. OptionalldaApiKeyfor higher limits.
Production use
- Set
sourceMode=live - Provide
clientNamesand/orregistrantNames(and/or IDs) - Optionally set
filingYearsandpostedAfter - Schedule after your desired cadence (daily/weekly is typical)
Production example
