## 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-trades-stock-act-periodic-transaction-reports-efc5bb33
```

Example prompt: Pull all the congressional stock trades for NVDA disclosed in the last 90 days from STOCK Act filings — I want the trade type, amount range, which House member made it, and a link to the filing PDF for each one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, normalized congressional stock trade data cited to official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Report PDFs. Prefer it over general web scraping when you need filterable, machine-readable trade records with disclosure lag metrics, specific to US House members and a defined date window.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if ticker or member name does not match any disclosures in the date window
- Invalid date format for startdt/enddt returns a validation error
- Senate chamber queries are deferred and may return empty or unsupported responses
- Misspelled member surname returns no results
- Very recent trades may not yet be disclosed or indexed

## How this service works

Normalized US House congressional stock trades from STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports. Filter by ticker or member and an optional date window and get each disclosed trade: buy, sell or exchange, the amount range, ticker, asset description, transaction and disclosure dates, disclosure lag, and owner, each record cited to its filing PDF.

## Output

A list of trade records, each containing: trade type (buy, sell, or exchange), amount range (e.g. $1,001–$15,000), ticker symbol, asset description, transaction date, disclosure date, disclosure lag in days, owner name, House member name, and a URL to the source filing PDF.
