Congress.gov Data Pipeline

The data backbone behind LegiKit. A Python pipeline that pulls bills, sponsors, cosponsors, committee actions, and full text from the Congress.gov API, normalizes it into a clean Postgres schema, and keeps it current with incremental updates. The payoff is latency — a staffer generating a vote rec 30 minutes before a floor vote gets bill data as a millisecond database lookup instead of a slow, rate-limited API call.
