List daily Congressional Record issues via Congress.gov — the official transcripts and proceedings of the US House and Senate, daily. Filter by year + month + day to narrow to a specific date or month. Each issue carries volume, issue number, publish date, and links to per-section content (Daily Digest, Senate, House, Extensions of Remarks) with PDF + sub-section URLs. Primary source for what was said on the floor.
/api/gov/congress-recordPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The congress record API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. List daily Congressional Record issues via Congress.gov — the official transcripts and proceedings of the US House and Senate, daily.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in congress record data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
