## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability fittings-congress-bill-status-df0d2618
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable legislative metadata for a known bill — specifically when you already have the congress number, bill type (hr, s, hjres, etc.), and bill number. Ideal for tracking bill progress, identifying sponsors, or retrieving official titles programmatically. Prefer this over scraping Congress.gov when you need low-latency, pay-per-call lookups without authentication setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid bill type enum value returns an error
- Bill number not found for the given congress returns 404 or empty result
- Congress number out of range or not yet available returns an error
- Missing required parameters (congress, type, number) returns a validation error

## How this service works

Status, sponsor, latest action and titles for a bill in a given Congress and chamber.

## Output

Returns structured data about the specified bill including its official and short titles, current status, the name of the sponsoring legislator, and the most recent legislative action taken (with date and description).
