endpoint to retrieve list of specific bills?

[ryan-semmler]

I have a long list of bill IDs that I need data for, and it would be helpful if I could put those IDs into a single request, instead of calling the api separately for each bill.

Hey @ryan-semmler: maybe our bulk bill data would work better for you? https://www.propublica.org/datastore/dataset/congressional-data-bulk-legislation-bills

@dwillis Thanks for the reply, I'll check it out

@dwillis My app automatically runs a few times every day to check for updates, so it would be more practical not to have to download and run through a zip file each time.
I don't know, just an idea.
Thanks for all this, the api has been great so far!

@ryan-semmler that makes sense. how big is your list of bill IDs? what do you think would make sense for a bulk endpoint like that?

[ryan-semmler]

@dwillis The list can get as long as a hundred IDs, but I could always divide that list into smaller pieces if calls were limited to 20 results at a time or something
