An API for Congressional trading data
Hi everyone! We built Directable in order to improve the accessibility of publicly-available STOCK Act data so that analysts, traders, and developers can derive valuable insights with far less hassle. Picture every trade and transaction that congress members have made in the past X years, all in one database. Would love to learn more about how you'd incorporate this data into your existing workflow.

I was looking for an API similar to this, I'd love to build a front end dashboard around this data. Could I gain access?
Hey guys! Have you implemented billing/metering/subscription mechanism for your API? If not, are you going to?
Hey! We have not implemented this functionality internally. We've explored Stripe billing for this in the past. Happy to take a look at alternatives.
Hey guys! Have you had a chance to take a look? If not, here's a video of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3oUdEqxScI
Thanks for replying! I'm working on a product which allows to implement API subscriptions with zero need for code changes on the API side, and I was hoping you can give your feedback on what could be useful and what's not.
In short, it allows to create subscription plans, impose limits (quotas, rate limits), define premium features, track per-subscription quota usage and overages, subscribe customers to the API and issue access tokens for them.
Besides simple "number of calls" quotas, it allows to bill for things like uploaded data volume, number of keywords/characters in a search phrase, to implement more complex pricing models akin to Google's Text-to-Speech API, etc.

I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thanks!
