Actors

Get an actor by ID

Full profile for one actor: name, party, current commissions, social links, current_position, and CV (congress representants only). Doesn't include votes/bills — use get_actor_summary(actor_id) instead if you also need recent votes + recent bills in the same call. Actor ids are globally unique; no country_code needed.

Data sources: official rosters of each national congress and government directory — name, party affiliation, and commission memberships as published by the chambers. Executive-branch officials (ministers, government agency heads) are also actors here, filterable with branch=executive; that coverage is real but heavily skewed to Brazil as of 2026-07-28. ⚠️ No source-document URL is available for the actor record itself (only social_links, which are the actor's own accounts, not a data-provenance link) — cite this actor's votes or bills instead when a primary-source link is needed.

Response

Successful response (real sample data)

dapper_urlstring nullable

This record's page in the Dapper platform (dapperglobal.com) — hand this to a person who wants the full detail. Use it as given; the routes are not derivable from the payload. null means the record has no page (see the field's per-domain notes), not that the link is missing. Distinct from external_link/congress_records[].link, which point at the original official document.
