Hi,

First thanks a lot for this API, is really nice to work with it ! 🙌

Do you think it could be possible to add a committee members endpoint to get all members for a given committee ?

Something like /committee/{chamber}/{committeeCode}/members ?

Thanks

Hi

Add open entry box then box again to rewrite code within till function performs shows . Add a script for auto adding them by minus zero will differentiate the difference and build automatically till you have another auto list builder.

I also think this would be a great addition. For reference, both the committee and member endpoints of ProPublica's Congress API offer information about committee members. The former including the current members of a committee and the latter including all committees a member is currently a part of.

I love this new resource, and I really want to make the switch from ProPublica's, but having incomplete data makes the transition hard as of right now.

Bump - Came here to basically make the same request but saw that there is already an open issue.

Feature Request: Can you please update the member endpoint to also provide a list of committees that each member of congress is on?

It would also be useful for the committee endpoint to return a list of the members that are on that committee. Would be so helpful and useful!

Thank you very much!

Now that the ProPublica API has been retired, developers do not have a viable option for pulling down committee members.

This is another request to add committee membership to either the member endpoints or the committee endpoints (or both).

Thank you!
