• https://github.com/markgx/govtrack-node/

Installation

pip install gt-py

Usage

from gtpy.api import GTPY
client = GTPY()

Choose an endpoint:

client.role()
client.person()
client.cosponsorship()
client.vote
client.bill()
client.vote_voter()
client.committee()
client.committee_member()

Get a person:

PERSON_ID = 400045
client.person(PERSON_ID)
{'birthday': '1952-10-20', 'link': 'https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/jeb_bradley/400045', 'lastname': 'Bradley'...

Filter the results, such as getting all the bills voted by the 144th Congress (supports filtering on all filterable fields):

CONGRESS_ID = 114
client.bill({'congress': CONGRESS_ID})

Change the maximum number of results:

>>>client.bill({'congress': CONGRESS_ID, 'limit': 100})
