LegiScan

LegiScan Pull API

The LegiScan Pull API is an RPC-style JSON service that allows clients to query the national legislative database on demand. Operations include retrieving session lists, master bill lists, bill details, full bill text, amendments, supplements, roll call votes, person/sponsor information, and full-text search across all 50 states and Congress. Authentication uses an API key passed as a query parameter. The free public tier supports 30,000 queries per month; paid subscription tiers provide higher query limits.
