# List congressional commissions

`GET /v1/commissions`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.dapperglobal.com`
- URL: `https://api.dapperglobal.com/v1/commissions`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Returns active congressional commissions. Primary use: discover `commission_id` values to pass to `list_bills`. `country_code` is comma-separated (e.g. `BR,CO`); omit for all accessible countries. Use `q` to search by name — a case- and accent-insensitive substring (e.g. `q=Hacienda`, `q=Septima`) or the commission's acronym.

**Data sources:** reference catalogs derived from the official registries behind each domain — issuing entities from gazette attributions, commissions and parties from the congress rosters. These are internal lookup values (entity_id, commission_id, etc.), not citable documents themselves — cite the regulation/bill/actor record that uses them instead.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, nullable: Name filter: a case- and accent-insensitive substring ('Comisión Séptima', 'hacienda') or an acronym. Omit for the full catalogue.
- `country_code` string, nullable: Comma-separated country codes, e.g. BR,CO,CL.
- `country_id` string, nullable: Deprecated alias: comma-separated numeric ids, e.g. 8,2,6.

## Response `200`

Successful response (real sample data)

- Commission[]
  - `dapper_url` string, 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.
  - `country_code` string, nullable
  - `country_id` integer, nullable
  - `id` integer, required
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `corporation_id` integer, nullable
  - `bill_count` integer, nullable
  - `duplicate_ids` integer[]
