About

Open States (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Open States data through the Open States API with a key you supply (Open States API key). Read-only: 7 tools (list_jurisdictions, get_jurisdiction, search_legislators, find_legislators_by_location, search_bills, get_bill, list_committees). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to v3.openstates.org. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Open States. Open States and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Sources: Live from the Open States API (v3.openstates.org) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://docs.openstates.org/api-v3/. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.
