This repository provides the official documentation, OpenAPI specification, and client libraries for the Congress.gov API (v3), a public REST API that exposes U.S. federal legislative data including bills, amendments, members, committees, hearings, nominations, treaties, and Congressional Record content. The repo is primarily a supporting asset for the API, containing detailed endpoint documentation in Markdown, a machine-readable OpenAPI spec (openapi.yaml/json), and example client implementations in Java and Python. The Python client (cdg_client.py) demonstrates a reusable pattern with dynamic HTTP method dispatch, session management, and optional keyring-based API key storage. The Java client (CDGClient.java) uses java.net.http.HttpClient and a config file reader. The repository does not contain the actual API server implementation; it is a companion repository for developers integrating with the Congress.gov API. The codebase is well-structured, actively maintained (as evidenced by the changelog), and the documentation is comprehensive, though some minor typos exist. The duplicate client directories (java/ and api_client/java/, python/ and api_client/python/) suggest some organizational drift, but the core components are solid.
