Overview
--------

This project provides the following data files:

File | Download | Description
---- | -------- | -----------
`legislators-current` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-current.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-current.json) [CSV](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-current.csv) | Currently serving Members of Congress.
`legislators-historical` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-historical.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-historical.json) [CSV](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-historical.csv) | Historical Members of Congress (i.e. all Members of Congress except those in the current file).
`legislators-social-media` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-social-media.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-social-media.json) | Current social media accounts for Members of Congress. Official accounts only (no campaign or personal accounts).
`committees-current` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committees-current.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committees-current.json) | Current committees of the Congress, with subcommittees.
`committee-membership-current` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committee-membership-current.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committee-membership-current.json) | Current committee/subcommittee assignments.
`committees-historical` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committees-historical.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/committees-historical.json) | Current and historical committees of the Congress, with subcommittees, from the 93rd Congress (1973) and on.
`legislators-district-offices` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-district-offices.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-district-offices.json) [CSV](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/legislators-district-offices.csv) | District offices for current Members of Congress.
`executive` | [YAML](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/executive.yaml) [JSON](https://theunitedstates.io/congress-legislators/executive.json) | Presidents and vice presidents.

The data formats are documented below.

The files are maintained in [YAML](http://www.yaml.org/) format in the main branch of this project. YAML is a serialization format similar in structure to JSON but typically written with one field per line. Like JSON, it allows for nested structure. Each level of nesting is indicated by indentation or a dash. CSV and JSON formatted files are also provided in the `gh-pages` branch --- they're linked above.

This database is maintained through a combination of manual edits by volunteers (from [GovTrack](https://www.govtrack.us), [ProPublica](https://projects.propublica.org/represent/), [MapLight](https://maplight.org/), [FiveThirtyEight](https://fivethirtyeight.com/), and others) and automated imports from a variety of sources including:

* GovTrack.us (http://www.govtrack.us).
* The Congressional Biographical Directory (http://bioguide.congress.gov).
* Congressional Committees, Historical Standing Committees data set by <NAME> and <NAME> (http://web.mit.edu/17.251/www/data_page.html).
* Martis’s “The Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress”, via Rosenthal, <NAME>., and <NAME>. United States Congressional Roll Call Voting Records, 1789-1990 (http://voteview.com/dwnl.htm).
* The Sunlight Labs Congress API (http://sunlightlabs.github.com/congress/).<commit_msg>Update build status badge in README for CircleCI (#821)<commit_after>congress-legislators
