Worked examples

Recent activity — every filter blank
{ "Max_Results": 100 }
One member — last name, one year
{
  "Last_Name": "Pelosi",
  "Start_Date": "2024-01-01",
  "End_Date": "2024-12-31"
}
One ticker — everyone who traded it
{
  "Stock_Symbol": "NVDA",
  "Start_Date": "2024-01-01"
}
Event window — a narrow range around a vote
{
  "Start_Date": "2024-03-01",
  "End_Date": "2024-03-31",
  "Max_Results": 1000
}
POWER-USER TIP
Filing date and transaction date are not the same — Members have up to 45 days to disclose, so a transaction dated in March may not surface until May. Date filters here run on the transaction date — if you are studying disclosure lag, pull a wide range and compare the two dates rather than assuming recency.
