Scrape house bills from `congress.gov.ph` instead of the Senate website

[kgreyy]

House bills can be sourced from the House Legislative Documents page.

The page itself requests data from this endpoint:

[POST] https://api.v2.congress.hrep.online/hrep/api-v1/bills/list

After passing the Cloudflare check, you can send a payload with the sample parameters:

{
  "page": 0,
  "limit": 10,
  "congress": 103,
  "filter": ""
}

Query Parameters

1. Pagination / Limits
   The limit parameter is not bounded, so you can request all bills in a single payload. For example, to fetch all bills from the 20th Congress:

{"page": 0, "limit": 10000, "congress": 103, "filter": ""}

2. The congress field corresponds to the following mapping:

CONGRESS_MAP = {
    0: "All Congresses",
    103: "20th Congress", # lol @ indexing
    19: "19th Congress",
    18: "18th Congress",
    17: "17th Congress",
    16: "16th Congress",
    15: "15th Congress",
    14: "14th Congress",
    13: "13th Congress",
    12: "12th Congress",
    11: "11th Congress",
    10: "10th Congress",
    9: "9th Congress",
    8: "8th Congress",
}

Why?

This API provides a much better structured schema for bill data, including:

• Bill Information
  
• Authors and Co-Authors (most reliable source for attribution)
  
• Bill Status
