What Congress is trading. What insiders are selling. Who just won a federal contract, and who is lobbying on which bill. Market Trackers turns it all into one clean, free dataset, with every row linked to the government document it came from. ## Track any member of Congress. Every senator and representative who files, tracked from the filing itself: their trades, their committees, their most-traded tickers. The live Congress Tracker runs on this exact dataset, right here on LuxAlgo. - Congress Tracker: https://www.luxalgo.com/markets/congress-tracker/ - All trackers: https://www.luxalgo.com/markets/trackers/ ## Every row shows its receipt. Every row carries the link to the original document, when it was retrieved, and how confident the parser was, so you never have to take a number on faith. ## 18 datasets. Primary sources only. Who in Congress bought what. Which insiders are selling. Which funds hold what, who won federal money, whose patents and trials are landing. Everything comes straight from the government’s own documents, never scraped from someone else’s product. - Congress trades: Senate eFD + House Clerk - Insider transactions: SEC EDGAR Forms 3/4/5 - 13F holdings: EDGAR 13F-HR - Government contracts: USAspending - Government grants: USAspending - Lobbying: Senate LDA API - Short-sale volume: FINRA Reg SHO - Committee assignments: congress-legislators - Patents: PatentsView / USPTO - Clinical trials: ClinicalTrials.gov v2 - FDA approvals: openFDA Drugs@FDA - Futures positioning: CFTC COT - Federal legislation: GovInfo BILLSTATUS - Campaign finance totals: FEC bulk - PAC contributions: FEC bulk - Congressional hearings: GovInfo CHRG - Fed communications: Federal Reserve Board - Wikipedia pageviews: Wikimedia REST API ## The pipeline - Incremental + idempotent: Per-source watermarks and natural-key upserts: syncs resume where they stopped, and re-runs never duplicate. - Polite by unit test: The EDGAR client is hard-capped at 10 requests per second by a rate limiter with a test asserting exactly that. - Watched daily: Canaries fingerprint every source format each day and update the health board in the README when something drifts. ## The dumps are the second repo. CI republishes everything daily to market-trackers-data as CC0: daily JSON deltas, stable latest.json URLs, gzipped year snapshots with Parquet siblings, RSS feeds per dataset and per ticker, and a zero-build explorer. Patents alone span year shards back to 1976. Data files are written only by the publish workflow; human pull requests to them are closed. - Data repo: https://github.com/LuxAlgo/market-trackers-data ## Fresh where freshness matters. Publishes run daily Monday through Saturday, and the two most time-sensitive datasets (congress trades and insider transactions) also ride an intraday fast lane about every two hours on weekdays. Analytics stay deliberately minimal and bring-your-own-prices: the pipeline ships no market data and computes no scores. ## Twenty-four tools on the record. Ask your agent “what did Congress buy this week?” and get an answer with the filings cited, row by row. All twenty-four tools answer from your local store, and a test in the repo pins this exact list so it can’t drift from the code. Four hosted tools (trackers_datasets, trackers_query, trackers_latest, trackers_ticker) are also live on the hosted LuxAlgo MCP, keyless, reading the same CC0 dumps. - `tracker_congress_trades`: "What did Congress buy this week?", with per-filing citations. - `tracker_congress_members`: Resolve member names; who trades most. - `tracker_member_profile`: One member’s whole public footprint: trades, committees, top tickers. - `tracker_committees`: Committee rosters: who sits where, joined to what they trade. - `tracker_insider_trades`: Form 3/4/5 rows by ticker, insider, code, value, with the SEC code legend. - `tracker_insider_summary`: Buys vs sells, net shares, notable insiders for a ticker. Arithmetic only. - `tracker_13f_holders`: Who holds a security, with share changes vs the prior quarter. - `tracker_13f_manager`: One manager’s holdings, quarter over quarter. - `tracker_gov_contracts`: Federal contract awards by ticker, recipient, agency. - `tracker_gov_grants`: Federal grant awards by ticker, recipient, agency. - `tracker_gov_contract_totals`: Government revenue over time: award counts and sums per year or quarter. - `tracker_lobbying`: Lobbying filings by ticker, client, registrant. - `tracker_short_volume`: Daily short-sale volume series for a ticker. - `tracker_patents`: Granted patents by ticker or assignee. - `tracker_clinical_trials`: Studies by ticker, sponsor, status, phase. - `tracker_fda_approvals`: Drugs@FDA approval actions by ticker, company, drug. - `tracker_cot`: Weekly futures positioning series for a market. - `tracker_bills`: Bill status by title, sponsor, policy area, plus who lobbies on that bill. - `tracker_campaign_finance`: Candidate money: FEC totals plus committee-to-candidate contributions. - `tracker_congress_hearings`: Hearing transcripts by committee, witness, chamber. - `tracker_fed_communications`: FOMC statements, minutes, speeches, testimony, linked. - `tracker_wiki_pageviews`: Wikipedia attention series for a company. - `tracker_search`: One query across tickers, members, managers, insiders. - `tracker_freshness`: How old every dataset is, so agents check before they answer. Local MCP server (`market-trackers-mcp`, from a clone): `git clone https://github.com/LuxAlgo/market-trackers && cd market-trackers && pnpm install && pnpm build` · hosted: https://www.luxalgo.com/mcp/ ## Ingest it, or just import it. Sync from the primary sources yourself (SQLite by default, Postgres behind one flag), or clone the CC0 dumps and import: the archive is a restorable database, because import is the exact mirror image of export. ```bash git clone https://github.com/LuxAlgo/market-trackers cd market-trackers && pnpm install && pnpm build market-trackers sync --source finra market-trackers serve # or skip ingestion: import the CC0 dumps git clone https://github.com/LuxAlgo/market-trackers-data market-trackers import ./market-trackers-data ``` ## Free means free. Public domain. Full stop. The code is MIT; the published dumps are CC0, dedicated to the public domain: use them for anything, commercial or not, no attribution required. No predictions, no signals, no conviction scores, no fabricated precision. - GitHub: https://github.com/LuxAlgo/market-trackers Market Trackers republishes public government records with provenance.
