What it returns

One record per result. Fields (from a live response):

Identity — bioguide_id, last_name, middle_name, full_name, committee_assignments, state_district, state, first_name, party, bioguide_url
Amounts — terms_count
Provenance — photo_url (self-hosted official portrait: GET /v1/photos/{bioguideId} with your API key — one metered call, same model as ticker logos)
Details — birthday, gender, current_term_start, current_term_end, senate_class, chamber, nickname, social, contact, cross_reference_ids, terms

Filters

bioguide_id	Permanent member identifier — letter + 6 digits (e.g., 'C001035' for Susan Collins, 'P000197' for Nancy Pelosi). Direct doc lookup, fastest path.
member_name	Case-insensitive substring against full_name. Example: 'Pelosi' returns Nancy Pelosi.
state	2-letter state abbreviation (e.g., 'ME', 'CA'). Filters to members from that state — useful with chamber=senate to get the 2 senators from a state.
chamber	Filter to House Representatives or Senators.
party	'Democrat' \| 'Republican' \| 'Independent' \| etc. Exact match — uses the YAML's spelling.
committee_id	Thomas committee code (full committee like 'HSAS' or subcommittee like 'HSAG15'). Returns all members of that committee.
limit	Maximum records to return. Default 50, max 600 (~current Congress size).
