Congress.gov shares its application programming interface (API) with the public to ingest the Congressional data.

The Congress.gov API opens the door to a repository of legislative information from the United States Congress. With this API, you can access details on bills, amendments, congressional records, and members' profiles. Integrating this API with Pipedream allows you to automatically track legislative developments, analyze policymaking trends, and stay informed on the activities of specific members of Congress. By creating workflows on Pipedream, you can connect Congress.gov data with numerous apps to streamline political data analysis, advocacy efforts, or journalistic research.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
congress_gov: {
type: "app",
app: "congress_gov",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill`,
params: {
format: `json`,
api_key: `${this.congress_gov.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.
import mongodb from 'mongodb'
export default defineComponent({

}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
