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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitoltrades.com\/\">https:\/\/www.capitoltrades.com\/<\/a> that is powered by 2iQ. I&#8217;m not really sure how to get this data, because there isn&#8217;t a export function in the site, and in the 2iQ website I don&#8217;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 &#8220;2iQ Global Insider Transaction Data&#8221; that is updated up until december <\/p>\n<p>  I was thinking of maybe doing web scraping in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitoltrades.com\/\">https:\/\/www.capitoltrades.com\/<\/a>, 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?  <\/p>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/stupid-boy012\"> \/u\/stupid-boy012 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/19cymzd\/problem_downloading_us_congressmen_trades_dataset\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/19cymzd\/problem_downloading_us_congressmen_trades_dataset\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-25365 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='25365' data-nonce='65e0e39b87' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-25365 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-25365 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I&#8217;m in the process of writing a thesis about trading in the U.S. congress.
