bill_text_urls

Get document choices for a specific bill.

This function is used by the Congressional Bills Viewer widget, in OpenBB Workspace, to populate PDF document choices for the selected bill.

When 'is_workspace' is False (default), it returns a list of the available text versions of the specified bill and their download links for the different formats.

Examples

from openbb import obb
obb.uscongress.bill_text_urls(bill_url='https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/119/s/1947?')
obb.uscongress.bill_text_urls(bill_url='119/s/1947')

Parameters

bill_url: str
The base URL of the bill (e.g., "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/119/s/1947?format=json"). This can also be a shortened version like "119/s/1947".

is_workspace: bool
Default: False
Whether the request is coming from the OpenBB Workspace. This alters the output format to conform to the Workspace's expectations.

provider: str | None
Default: congress_gov
The provider name, always "congress_gov". This is a dummy parameter.
