Hello, I’m in the process of writing a thesis about trading in the U.S. congress. Under the Stock act of 2012, all Congressmen are required to disclose their trades. I want to get data of the trades disclosed by the Congressmen from 2020 to 2023. The most famous website about it is https://www.capitoltrades.com/ that is powered by 2iQ. I’m not really sure how to get this data, because there isn’t a export function in the site, and in the 2iQ website I don’t really understanf where I should get the data, and how much does the subscription costs. Also, I have WRDS account of the Uni, where 2iQ is not included, but in the website(WRDS) I cannot find the database that I need. The only product that they sell is “2iQ Global Insider Transaction Data” that is updated up until december
I was thinking of maybe doing web scraping in https://www.capitoltrades.com/, but my professor told me to watch out because the website could recognize it and ban me. What can I do? Should I try a free trial from 2iQ or web scraping?
