## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability congress-stock-trades-by-ticker-fed337dd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Which House members have traded NVDA stock since January 2025? Show me up to 20 results including whether each trade was a purchase or sale, the date, and the disclosed amount range.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable congressional stock trade data by ticker without a subscription to commercial trackers like Quiver Quantitative or Capitol Trades. Best for agents that need to check whether specific House members have traded a given stock, monitor political exposure in a portfolio, or flag potential conflicts of interest. Note the built-in 45-day disclosure lag required by law.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker returns empty trades array
- Dates outside coverage years (pre-2025) return no results
- Malformed ISO date in since/until causes validation error
- Limit exceeding 100 is rejected with a 400-level error
- Unknown member name substring returns empty results

## How this service works

Who in Congress traded a given stock: pass a ticker and get every disclosed House transaction in it — member, buy or sell, date, and disclosed amount range — parsed from official STOCK Act filings. Commercial trackers sell this behind subscriptions; here it is one structured JSON call. Disclosures lag trades by up to 45 days by law.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of matching trade records (member name, ticker, trade type, transaction date, notification date, amount range, state/district, document ID), plus total matched count, returned count, coverage years and chambers, and attribution to the US House Clerk.
