Congress Financial Disclosures & Stock Trades API

Scrape US Congressional financial disclosures and stock trades by member name, ticker symbol, or date range. This Apify Actor returns Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) from the House and Senate as a clean, queryable dataset with member, asset, amount range, transaction type, and filing IDs - the most comprehensive Congress trading dataset on Apify, used by journalists, compliance teams, and quantitative researchers tracking conflict-of-interest patterns under the STOCK Act.

What you get

• Every transaction returned with member name, chamber, state/district, ticker, asset, transaction type, amount range, transaction date, and reported date
• Filterable by member name, exact filing date, date range, or stock ticker
• Output as JSON in the Apify dataset - one row per PTR transaction line
• Pre-built dataset views for Purchases, Sales, Options trades, and Stock trades
• Echoed search metadata on every row (timestamp, query timing, result count) for audit trails

Use cases

• Investigative journalism - track unusual trades around legislative events or hearings
• Conflict-of-interest research - map a member's holdings against committees they sit on
• Quant / signal research - build features from Congress trade timing and direction
• Compliance & ESG - monitor exposure of public funds and pensioners to insider patterns
• Civic transparency dashboards - power public-facing "who traded what, when" widgets

Typical run cost: pulling 100 Pelosi transactions = $0.005 + 100 x $0.0025 = $0.255. Pulling all 2024 AAPL trades across Congress (~30 rows) = $0.005 + 30 x $0.0025 = $0.08.

FAQ

Q: Where does the data come from? A: US Congressional Periodic Transaction Reports filed under the STOCK Act. The Actor normalizes filings from the House Clerk and the Senate eFD into one schema.

Q: Why is the amount a range, not an exact value? A: Members are only required to report amounts in brackets ($1,001-$15,000, $15,001-$50,000, etc.). The Actor returns the bracket exactly as filed.

Q: Why are some Tickers blank? A: Not every disclosed asset is publicly listed (e.g. private partnerships, real estate, treasuries). Filter on Asset_Type_Code = ST if you want stock-only rows.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Filings are pulled on a rolling schedule. PTRs have a 30-45 day reporting deadline, so the dataset trails real trades by that much by design.

Q: How do I get only purchases or only sales? A: Use the pre-built Output views (Purchases, Sales, Options Transactions, Stock Transactions) - they're just dataset filters on Transaction_Type and Asset_Type_Code.

Q: Do you cover both the House and the Senate? A: Yes. Each row's House field is House or Senate.
