# US House congressional stock trades for a ticker

`GET /api/v1/equities/{symbol}/congress-trades`

Certified US House member securities transactions for a ticker (STOCK Act periodic transaction reports), from the House Clerk primary source - the open equivalent of commercial congressional-trading feeds. Covers e-filed House PTRs over the current + prior year; amounts are the disclosed ranges. Senate eFD and scanned-paper House filings are out of v1 scope. A ticker that no House member disclosed trading returns 404. Refreshed monthly. Public-record aggregate, not investment advice.
