🏛️ UK Parliament Members Scraper (MPs & Lords)

🚀 Export the UK Parliament directory in seconds. Pull every MP in the House of Commons and every peer in the House of Lords, with biographies, parties, constituencies, contact details, government posts, and committee memberships. No sign-up, no manual stitching, no parser to maintain.

The UK Parliament Members Scraper queries the official UK Parliament Members directory and returns up to 31 structured fields per record, including the canonical display name and full title, party affiliation with party colour, House of Commons constituency, House of Lords seat type, government and opposition posts, committee memberships, parliamentary contact address, phone, email, websites, and social-media handles.

The directory covers every currently sitting MP and peer plus every former member going back through the modern era, across all parties from Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, SNP, Reform UK, Sinn Féin, the Lords Spiritual, Crossbench, and beyond. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. Filters run server-side, so you skip the parser engineering entirely.

📋 What the UK Parliament Members Scraper does

Six filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🏛️ House filter. Restrict to Commons (MPs), Lords (peers), or both chambers.
• 🎗️ Party filter. Pick a single party from a curated list of every active and historic UK political party.
• 👤 Gender filter. Male, female, or all.
• 📍 Constituency substring. Match Commons members whose constituency name contains a substring (e.g. "London", "Glasgow").
• 🚦 Current vs former. Currently sitting members, former members only, or all (current + former).
• 🔎 Name substring. Match the display name on a case-insensitive substring.

Each record includes the member ID, official photo URL, public profile URL, four name variants (display, full title, list-as, address-as), gender, House, party (name, abbreviation, ID, official party colour), constituency and constituency ID, membership start and end dates, current-member flag, full constituency history, every government post and opposition post with dates and department, committee memberships, parliamentary contact phone numbers, emails, websites, X / Facebook / Instagram links, and the canonical House of Commons / House of Lords address with postcode.

💡 Why it matters: structured Parliament member data drives stakeholder mapping, public-affairs CRM enrichment, and political-research dashboards. Building your own pipeline means writing a paginated client, fetching three sub-resources per member, normalising contact channels, and refreshing daily. This Actor skips all of that and gives you a clean refreshed snapshot on every run.
