Introducing House Roll Call Votes in the Congress.gov API

Posted by: Andrew Weber

Today, in partnership with the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, we are thrilled to announce that beta House Roll Call Votes endpoints are now available from the Congress.gov API. In this first iteration, the beta House Roll Call Votes endpoints cover all votes associated with legislation dating from 2023 (118th Congress). Endpoints include a list-level and item-level, along with a member votes-level, which shows how each member of the House of Representatives voted on a particular piece of legislation.
