How this service works
US bill status lookup: pass congress number, bill type, and bill number and get the official record — title, sponsor, latest action with date, policy area, committee referrals, and counts of actions, cosponsors, and amendments with links to each. Deterministic input, cached one hour. For legislative-tracking, policy, and news agents.
Output
A JSON object containing the bill's type, title, number, congress session, sponsor name(s), policy area, latest action text and date, committee referrals, and counts of total actions, cosponsors, and amendments, plus an attribution note citing Congress.gov as the public domain source. Results are cached for one hour.
Example use cases

“Look up Senate bill S 2226 from the 118th Congress and tell me the latest action, who sponsored it, and what committees it was referred to.”
Policy area research for advocacy
“I need to know the policy area, title, and current status of House Joint Resolution 7 from the 119th Congress for a policy brief I'm writing.”
News article fact-checking on legislation

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/congress-bill-lookupWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured US congressional bill data — title, sponsor, latest action, policy area, committee referrals, and counts — keyed by congress number, bill type, and bill number. Prefer it over web scraping or general search when you need deterministic, reproducible lookups from official Congress.gov data without maintaining your own legislative database or API key.
Side effects
- Invalid bill type string returns an error or empty result
- Non-existent bill number for the given congress returns no data
- Malformed congress number (e.g. non-numeric) causes a validation error
- Bill exists but has no latest action recorded yet
- Cache may return data up to one hour old, missing very recent congressional actions
