What it returns
Stock and other securities trades disclosed by members of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate in their Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs), filed under the STOCK Act. One row per transaction, read straight from the official filings: - **House**: the Clerk of the House financial disclosure index and each electronically filed PTR (PDF). - **Senate**: the Senate Electronic Financial Disclosure (eFD) system.
| field | meaning |. |---|---|. | `chamber`, `member`, `state`, `stateDistrict` | who filed (House rows carry state and district) |. | `filedDate` | the date the report was filed: the first day the public could know about the trade |. | `transactionDate` | trade date as reported |. | `notificationDate` | House only: when the member was notified of the trade |. | `disclosureLagDays` | days from the trade to the filing |. | `owner` | Self, Spouse, Joint, Dependent Child (Senate: as reported) |. | `ticker`, `asset`, `assetType` | ticker when the filing lists one; House asset type codes (ST stock, GS government security, OP option, ..) |. | `type` | Purchase, Sale, Sale (Partial), Exchange |. | `amount`, `amountMin`, `amountMax` | the disclosed range, e.g. $1,001 - $15,000, with numeric bounds |. | `filingStatus`, `description`, `subholdingOf`, `comment` | extra lines from the filing when present |. | `filingId`, `reportUrl` | the official filing and a link to it |. Paper reports that were filed as scans have no machine-readable transactions. They appear as one `recordType: "filing"` row with the member, filing date and link, so you still know a trade report exists. Set `tradesOnly` to leave them out.
