Endpoint to Retrieve Senate Votes? #249

Closed anthonydb closed 2 days ago

anthonydb commented 1 month ago

Hi, I'm reading the docs but unfortunately it's not clear to me which endpoint(s) in the API would allow me to first obtain a list of all votes in the Senate for the current congress and then obtain a list of all votes by member for each of those. Same for the House.

@anthonydb - Thank you for the question. At this time, this data is not in the Congress.gov API. However, the Congress.gov team is in the early stages of investigating the feasibility of 1.) incorporating vote data into Congress.gov and 2.) creating a Vote endpoint in the Congress.gov API. We are currently working towards having a better understanding of what this will entail. While we currently do not have a timeline, we are hopeful to have more information at a later date.

Updates will be posted in this Git issue: #64
