Not all sections referred in BILLS-115s3611is text mentioned in API

[manimittal15]

Hi Team,

Below API for Bill S 3611 is not providing all the sections referenced in its text. For eg: Sections referred in this bill are "6103",1070","1088" and "1091". But we are only getting 1070, 1088 and 1091 in API output ("sections":["1070","1088","1091"]).
Below is the API I am referring.

https://api.govinfo.gov/packages/BILLS-115s3611is/summary?api_key=DEMO_KEY

Please help me where I can get all the sections related to bill.

Thanks,
Mani Mittal

@manimittal15 - this is due to how the bill text was parsed. For the sections that are returned in the API, you'll notice that there are references within the bill text that follow this general pattern:

titleNumber U.S.C. section

The references to 26 U.S.C 6103 are generally stated without direct reference to the USC title number. e.g. "section 6103(l)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986"

Moving this to the api repository, since it's not related to the billstatus project.
