Congress Stock Trades Pro (House PTRs)

Every STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Report (PTR) filed with the US House Clerk (disclosures-clerk.house.gov), parsed into clean transaction rows: member, state/district, asset with ticker, buy/sell, transaction date, notification date, official amount range plus numeric min/max/midpoint, description, filing ID, and a link to the original PDF.

No proxy. No API key. Reads the Clerk's public filing index directly - the primary source, not a repackaged dataset.

Better than the incumbents

johnvc/us-congress-financial-disclosures-and-stock-trading-data is the demand leader (38 monthly active users, 5.0 across 5 reviews, $1.63 per 1,000): strong product, but amounts stay as text ranges and no numeric midpoint. This actor reads the same official filings and adds: numeric amountMin / amountMax / amountMidpoint per row, office and district parsed out of the index row, per-transaction description (option strikes, share counts, partial-sale notes), and a hard maxItems cap so you never pay for rows you didn't ask for. Version 0.0 covers House PTRs; Senate eFD parsing is on the roadmap.

scrapers_lat/us-house-financial-disclosures-scraper charges from $8.32 per 1,000 results for the same Clerk index (0.0 rating, 3 users) and makes transaction extraction opt-in. This actor parses transactions by default at roughly a fifth of that price.

lastName	string	empty	Case-insensitive member surname filter, e.g. Pelosi
startDate / endDate	string	empty	Optional YYYY-MM-DD filter on the transaction date

includeDetails	boolean	true	Include description and filing status per row

Pricing

$0.005 per run + $1.50 per 1,000 transaction rows. No proxy, no residential fallback, no API key. Billed per row actually returned.

How it works

1. Reads the House Clerk's public filing index for the chosen year (one POST, no login).
2. Filters PTR Original / PTR Amendment filings (annual disclosure reports are excluded).
3. Downloads each PTR PDF and extracts the transaction table, including multi-line asset names and split amount ranges.
4. Pushes one row per transaction, deduplicated within a filing.

A PDF that fails to parse is returned as a single filing-level row with a parseError note instead of being silently dropped, so you always know what you did and did not get.

FAQ

Is this the same data Capitol Trades or QuiverQuant shows? The underlying source is the same: members' STOCK Act PTR filings. This actor reads the Clerk's own archive directly, so it can never lag behind a repackager's ingestion pipeline.

Does it cover the Senate? Not yet in version 0.0. The Senate eFD portal requires a separate search flow; Senate PTR parsing is on the roadmap. The House has the higher-profile traders and the largest PTR volume.

Are amounts exact? No - the STOCK Act requires reporting in ranges. amountMidpoint gives the range midpoint for sorting and aggregation; treat it as an estimate, not a fact.

How fresh is the data? As fresh as the Clerk's site. Every row links to the exact PDF it was parsed from (filing ID and URL included), so you can verify any row in one click.

Is this legal advice or investment advice? No. PTRs are delayed, self-reported filings. Use for research and transparency monitoring only.
