BillTrack50 Help Center

In addition to our web application, BillTrack50 allows remote access to data to subscribing members through the use of a web services API. Web services provide functionality that enable separate systems to communicate with each other using standard web protocols such as HTTP, TCP/IP, and JSON. Using a simple standards based communication model opens the exposed functionality to a wide variety of system and programming languages, and is a natural extension of our main website.

Our web services API should be of use for any business interested in integrating legislative bill searching directly into their web site or application. We provide access to company specific data in addition to the publicly available bill and legislator data. The web service will continue to grow as we provide additional endpoints to allow greater access to your data and help you power your legislative information needs. Feel free to send us any requests.

The API is available to any customer with any subscription tier - there is no additional cost. To get your API key contact us. One word of caution, since your key can be used to access your private comments, be careful where you publish it and who you share it with.
