Download the dataset
OptimistFi/house-stock-trades on Hugging Face: one CSV of trades per year and filings.csv, every report on the Clerk’s roster with how many trades were read from it, or why none were. Rebuilt daily. In Python:
from datasets import load_dataset
trades = load_dataset("OptimistFi/house-stock-trades", split="train")Trades read from scans of paper forms are marked scanned_form; one is kept only where every box and date on its line reads unambiguously.
JSON, one file per year
https://mcp.optimistfi.com/datasets/house/<year>.json: every trade in the reports filed that year, as the site reads them, updated within the hour of a report reaching the Clerk’s site. A file changes at most hourly, so fetch it once and keep it rather than per page view.
