With Geocodio, you can upload a list of addresses, coordinates, or ZIP codes and receive the Congressional district information. Simply select "Congressional Districts" in Step 3 of the upload process.
The following data points are returned:
It is also possible to retrieve boundaries for the following previous congress cycles:
Most Congressional districts will be redistricted prior to the 118th Congress, based on changes from the 2020 Census.
Redistricting: This is a fluid situation and we are monitoring all states for approved and revised maps. See our redistricting 2020 page for more information on updated states and how to add the new districts.
OCD-IDs: Open Civic Data Division Identifiers (OCD-IDs) are a new data inclusion with the 118th Congress and are automatically returned with the 118th Congress append.

Due to the irregular shape of Congressional districts, we strongly recommend using street addresses or coordinates if you have them.
If you only have ZIP codes, we will return likely districts. For spreadsheet uploads, we will return the most likely district (i.e. the Congressional district with the greatest amount of overlap with that ZIP code). In the API, we will return all of the possible Congressional districts, ranked by overlap. See more here.
You can also get Congressional districts back to the 113th Congress via both our API (go to API docs) and spreadsheet upload. (We do not support historical legislator information.)
You can opt to receive just the districts or also the contact and biographical information for each Senator and Representative. The Senator and Representative information is included in the lookup cost for Congressional districts. Select "Add legislator data" under "Congressional districts" in Step 3 of the upload process.
Requests are billed as geocode + Congress info (i.e., two lookups). For example, if you have 100 addresses that you want Congressional contact information for, that would count as 200 lookups.
You can calculate how much this will cost you and how long it will take here.
Congressional district boundaries are sourced from the U.S. Censusus Bureau as well as individual states when necessary.
Legislator data is sourced from the United States project on Github, an open source project maintained by journalists.
