Question: Verify via ProPublica: Search ProPublica's Congress API for Wyden's financial disclosures and STOCK Act filings 2022. Relevance: ProPublica maintains parsed congressional financial disclosure data that could reveal source of accession number gaps
Context: Parent investigation identified this record check. Source: ProPublica. Why relevant: ProPublica maintains parsed congressional financial disclosure data that could reveal source of accession number gaps
Date: 2026-04-23
The research reveals a critical finding: ProPublica's Congress API is no longer operational and cannot be used to verify Wyden's 2022 financial disclosures as requested. The API, which previously provided congressional data including bills, votes, and member information, was discontinued sometime between 2023-2025. While the API existed during 2022, it did not appear to include parsed financial disclosure data or STOCK Act filings in its primary endpoints - those were maintained separately by the House Clerk and Senate Ethics Committee.
Regarding Wyden's 2022 disclosures specifically: Senator Wyden did file his required annual financial disclosure on May 16, 2022, and has continued filing periodic transaction reports under STOCK Act requirements. Third-party platforms like Quiver Quantitative, LegiStorm, and GuruFocus have parsed and tracked his trading activity, showing substantial stock transactions. However, the original research question about using ProPublica's API to identify 'accession number gaps' cannot be fulfilled since the API no longer exists and did not contain the financial disclosure parsing capabilities that would be needed for such an investigation.
