# US House of Representatives roll-call votes, newest first...

`GET /api/gov/house-votes`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/gov/house-votes`

US House of Representatives roll-call votes, newest first by action date. Each record includes year + roll number, congress/session, vote question + type + result, action date/time, bill reference (legis_num), description, grand totals (yea/nay/present/not-voting), AND per-party breakdown (Republican/Democratic/Independent yea/nay/present/not-voting counts). Filters (all optional, AND-combined): year, congress, result substring, bill substring (legis_num ILIKE), since/until (action_date), limit + offset. Locally aggregated from clerk.house.gov XML feeds (refreshed daily by cron). Public-domain US government records.

- `year` integer
- `congress` integer
- `result` string
- `bill` string

## 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.
