This is a hosted version of the API generated by the Federal Parliament scraper, it contains machine-readable information on the functioning of the federal parliament going back from today all the way to session 52 (°2007).
The main endpoint for the API is parlement.thundr.be/index.json, from there on information can be obtained on the different sessions. Each session has details on all the Members of Parliament during that session as well as the meeting notes for the Plenary meetings. There are plans to extend this functionality further with meeting notes of the Committees.
