# Search individual US Congress member stock trades, parsed...

`GET /api/gov/congress-trades`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/gov/congress-trades`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Search individual US Congress member stock trades, parsed from STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports into clean rows. Filter by member name (q, e.g. "Pelosi"), ticker (e.g. NVDA), transaction type (purchase | sale | exchange | partial_sale), party (D | R | I), 2-letter state, chamber, or transaction-date range (dateFrom/dateTo). Each trade returns the member + party + state/district, owner (self/spouse/joint/dependent), ticker + asset description, buy/sell, the disclosed dollar RANGE (amountMin/amountMax — disclosures are ranges, not exact), the transaction date, the disclosure date, days-to-disclose (compliance lag), and a link to the source filing PDF. The envelope total is the full count matching your filter — so ticker=NVDA&type=purchase counts who bought NVIDIA. Amounts are ranges by law; trades are disclosed up to 45 days after they happen (current-to-the-filing). Coverage: US House + Senate e-filed PTRs; scanned/handwritten reports are parsed separately. Data: US House Clerk / US Senate eFD (public domain). Cross-ref /api/gov/congress-filings for the raw filing index.

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
