Add Bargo Congress Trades API candidate

[bargo-ai]

Hi, I am Ankur, the developer behind Bargo. I would like to add the Bargo Congress Trades API to the candidate pool.

Provider

• Name / Category: Bargo Congress Trades API / Web Search & Data

What changed

• Added a new provider to data/candidates/
• Added official REST, OpenAPI, llms.txt, MCP, key-dashboard, rate-limit, and error entrypoints
• Added evidence-backed capability checks
• Fixed a broken link
• Other

The candidate describes the hosted, read-only Congress product specifically. It covers normalized U.S. House and Senate STOCK Act disclosures through REST and MCP, and does not describe Bargo's broader market-intelligence platform.

I marked six checks as supported or partial using Bargo's public documentation, dashboard, and terms. The remaining checks stay unknown where the public documentation does not make a clear claim. The automation check is intentionally partial because the terms allow use in applications and agents while restricting raw-data redistribution, rate-limit evasion, and competing data products.

Rules checklist

• Every supported/partial check has an official evidence URL
• unknown stays unknown where evidence is missing
• Only checks verified on 2026-07-16 have an updated verified date
• I ran npm run validate
• I did not edit README.md or commit anything under generated/
• submitted_by: vendor is set because I work on Bargo

Validation

• npm run validate: 76 providers + 3 candidates, 948 checks, 0 errors
• npm run probe -- --only=bargo-congress: 5 unique URLs, 5 healthy, 0 inconclusive, 0 broken
• git diff --check

Disclosure

I am the developer behind Bargo and am submitting this as a vendor-maintained candidate entry.
