FAQ

Which chamber does this cover? U.S. House of Representatives Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) — the actual disclosed stock trades under the STOCK Act, not annual holdings summaries.

Does it cover every member, or do I need to search by name? Every member — the actor pulls the House Clerk's official bulk filing index directly, so coverage isn't limited to whichever names you happen to search for.

Why is ticker empty on some records? Members disclose more than stocks — Treasury notes, municipal bonds, and private funds/equity are included too, and those don't have a stock ticker (bonds carry a CUSIP identifier instead, included in assetName). assetType tells you what kind of asset each record is (ST = stock, GS = government security, etc.).

What does disclosureDelayDays mean? The number of days between the trade date and the notification (filing) date. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days; lateFilingFlag is true when that threshold is exceeded.

How often is the data updated? The House Clerk publishes filings on a rolling basis; each run pulls the latest bulk index for the requested year.
