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 Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
