# gc_list_bill_amendments

> List a bill's amendments

Every amendment offered to a bill, newest first: purpose, author, latest action, and whether its text is mirrored. This is a metadata list; read a mirrored full text with gc_get_amendment_text. Congress publishes amendment text as Congressional Record pages, so it is plain text rather than Markdown.

## Input

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| idRequired | string | Bill key "congress/type/number", e.g. "119/hr/3076". |
| cursor | string | Next page of amendments. |
| limit | integer | Amendments per page (default 20). |
