bills_search: Search Bills

In zamorarr/ppcongress: ProPublica Congress API

Description

Use this request to search the title and full text of legislation by keyword to get the 20 most recent bills. Searches cover House and Senate bills from the 113th Congress through the current Congress (116th). If multiple words are given (e.g. query=health care) the search is treated as multiple keywords using the OR operator. Quoting the words (e.g. query="health care") makes it a phrase search. Search results can be sorted by date (the default) or by relevance, and in ascending or descending order.

Usage

bills_search(query, sort = c("date", "_score"), dir = c("desc", "asc"),
  page = 1L)

Arguments

query	search text
sort	sort by lastest major action date or relevance score
dir	sort in descending or ascending order
page	page of results
