Ingest console

OpenStates legislative ingest

Pull the latest bills, classify them by economic-policy topic, and append a hash-chained record so every ingest is tamper-evident. This build uses a deterministic mock feed — see the migration note below.

Re-running ingest discovers new bills and status changes; matching tracked topics raise alerts. Each run extends the chain below.

Ingest audit chain

Each ingest run appends an event whose prevHash points at the previous run's hash, all the way back to a fixed genesis value. If any past event were altered or removed, the links would no longer match and the verify line below would flag a break. It makes the ingest history tamper-evident.

ingest.chain

genesis: 00000000…00000000
seq 1 · openstates · Initial 50-state ingest (mock OpenStates feed).
  prev: 00000000…00000000
  hash: 7b585cab…8e060938
chain length: 1 event(s) · 10 bills under provenance
verify: ✓ chain links intact from genesis (1 event(s))

Data source & migration note

Bills are normalized to the OpenStates v3 bills shape. The live adapter calls https://v3.openstates.org/bills with an OPENSTATES_API_KEY.
For lobbying disclosures, an LDA (Lobbying Disclosure Act) feed can be added behind the same interface.
Presentation is non-partisan; sponsor party is shown for transparency only.
