About the API
The GOP.gov
Anywhere API 2 is the second generation of the only official Application Programming Interface available from the legislative branch. It offers consolidated, real-time information from a multitude of sources that can be redistributed across any network, to any user.
The Anywhere API 2 makes it possible for you to download data from GOP.gov using HTTP GET calls. There are many situations where this could be useful, including posting bipartisan legislative information on blogs, websites, software applications and other government webpages. If you are looking for information that can be embedded in your website without wanting to use our API, check out the
Plugin Library.
Using the GOP API is possible with just a few lines of code. The API is not restricted to any specific programming language and can be used in any language that has support for sending data via HTTP GET calls.
