How this service works
Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.
Output
A JSON object containing the bill's type, title, number, sponsor name, sponsor party, sponsor state, congress number, introduced date, latest action (date and text), official congress.gov URL, GPO GovInfo source XML URL, and a timestamp of when the data was last checked and updated.
Example use cases
Tracking a bill through committee
“Can you look up HR 2500 in the 119th Congress and tell me what its current status is, who introduced it, and when it was last acted on?”
Verifying bill sponsorship for research
“I need to confirm who sponsored Senate Joint Resolution 15 in the 119th Congress and what party they're from — can you pull that up?”
Getting official links for legislative reporting
“Find me the official congress.gov link and the GovInfo source for Senate Bill 100 in the 119th Congress so I can include it in my report.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.companyrecords-api.workers.dev/api/gov/govtrack-congress?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official, structured metadata for a specific US Congress bill by its exact identifiers (congress number, bill type, bill number). It is sourced directly from GPO GovInfo BILLSTATUS bulk XML — the authoritative government source — making it superior to third-party scrapers or the now-closed GovTrack API for accuracy and longevity. Prefer this over general legislative search endpoints when you already know the bill's specific identifiers and want structured data including sponsor details, introduced date, latest action, and official links.
Side effects
- Bill not found for given congress/type/number combination — returns error or empty result
- Congress number outside supported range (only congresses with BILLSTATUS files, e.g. 119 confirmed) may return no data
- Invalid bill type string (must be one of: hr, s, hres, sres, hjres, sjres, hconres, sconres) causes validation failure
- Bill number out of range or non-numeric input returns error
- Upstream GPO GovInfo bulk XML unavailable causes fetch failure
