Disclosed Capitol is a platform that tracks and analyzes stock trades made by members of the US Congress. We aggregate data from official government sources, enrich it with market data, and make it searchable and transparent.
Members of Congress have access to non-public information through briefings, committee hearings, and legislative drafting. Studies have shown that congressional portfolios have historically outperformed the market. Whether this reflects skill, luck, or access to privileged information is an ongoing debate — and the data is now available for you to decide.
Yes. All STOCK Act filings are public records. However, they're scattered across multiple government websites, often buried in PDFs, and lack any analytical tools. We aggregate, parse, and enrich this data so you don't have to.
Our systems continuously monitor government disclosure portals and process new filings as they become available, providing near real-time updates. However, the STOCK Act allows politicians up to 45 days to disclose trades, so there is an inherent lag between when a trade occurs and when it becomes public.
We use automated parsing with AI-powered processing for scanned documents, followed by multi-step verification against market data. Matches that don't meet our confidence threshold are flagged for review. That said, source filings are self-reported by politicians and may contain errors.
The STOCK Act requires disclosure in value ranges (e.g., "$15,001 - $50,000"), not exact amounts. We use statistical methods to estimate values within these ranges. Annual Financial Disclosures (AFDs) also use ranges for asset values.
It means the trades you see are not real-time. By the time a trade appears on our platform, the market may have already moved significantly. This data is best used for research, transparency analysis, and pattern detection — not for real-time copy-trading.
Please use our Contact page or email admin@disclosedcapitol.com with details. Include the politician name, trade date, and what appears incorrect. We take data accuracy seriously and will investigate promptly.
No. Basic features like the trade feed, politician profiles, and leaderboards are available for free. An account unlocks additional features like watchlists, alerts, and higher usage limits. Paid plans (Core, Pro and Max) add portfolio analytics, advanced performance metrics, and a monthly allowance of API credits, and Core starts with a 7-day free trial.
Pro includes portfolio analytics, advanced performance metrics, committee portfolios, comparison tools, wealth data, trade-legislation overlap analysis, and monthly API credits. For current prices and a side-by-side comparison of every plan, see our Plans page at /plans.
Yes. Cancel anytime in Account → Billing. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, then your account continues without a plan. Partial periods aren't refunded, including the unused part of an annual plan. Plan credits you've already received stay usable until they expire, 12 months after they were issued.
Yes. A free account comes with 750 credits to try the API. Core also comes with a 7-day free trial that includes its full 7,500 monthly credits. A card is required at checkout for the trial. Cancel before the trial ends and you're not charged; otherwise Core continues at the price you picked, $6/month or $55/year. There's one trial per account.
API access uses a credit-based system. Most data endpoints charge a base cost per call plus a per-row charge: 1 credit per row, or 5 per executive-branch (OGE) trade or disclosure row, so larger responses cost more. Credits reach every endpoint and every field, with or without a plan. Paid plans include a monthly credit allowance: 7,500 credits on Core, 30,000 on Pro and 125,000 on Max, and a new account gets 750 free credits once, to try the API. You can also buy credits from $10, at 1,000 credits per $1. Plan, purchased and free credits expire 12 months after they're issued. See our Plans page for current pricing.
Yes. API requests are limited per minute by plan: Core 120, Pro 240 and Max 600 requests per minute, and 60 for accounts without a plan. Spending on credit top-ups can raise your limit, never lower it. See our API documentation for details.
