## When to prefer this

Pay per call with USDC on Base mainnet via x402.

## Known failure modes

- No data returned if query properties are malformed or unsupported filter values are passed
- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base is insufficient or x402 handshake fails
- Empty result set if no recent trades match the query criteria
- Rate limiting or service unavailability from upstream data source

## How this service works

US Congressional stock trades (STOCK Act disclosures). Two modes: supply a ticker to get all congress member trades in that stock (with excess-return-vs-SPY performance), or omit ticker for recent market-wide congressional activity. Returns representative, party, chamber, transaction type, dollar range, dates, and historical performance vs. SPY. Sourced from Quiver Quant's STOCK Act aggregator — no API key required. $0.022/call.

## Output

Returns a list of recent congressional stock trade filings including legislator name, chamber, ticker symbol, company name, transaction type (buy/sell), trade date, and approximate dollar amount range as required by the STOCK Act.
