bug(congress): The /congress endpoint doesn't return the number field.

[erickoledadevrel]

Repro

Call the /congress endpoint to list the congresses.

Expected

For each item returned in the congresses field, the number field is present.

Actual

The items returned don't include that field.

{
    "congresses": [
        {
            "endYear": "2024",
            "name": "118th Congress",
            "sessions": [
                {
                    "chamber": "House of Representatives",

        }
    ],

    },
    "request": {

    }
}

Notes

When you request an individual congress using /congress/<number> the number field is returned on the item.

{
    "congress": {
        "endYear": "2024",
        "name": "118th Congress",
        "number": 118,
        "sessions": [
            {
                "chamber": "House of Representatives",
                "endDate": "2024-01-03",
                "number": 1,
                "startDate": "2023-01-03",
                "type": "R"
            },
            {
                "chamber": "Senate",
                "endDate": "2024-01-03",

Hi @erickoledadevrel - I hope I am understanding this correctly, please correct me if I am not. When I make this call (e.g., https://api.congress.gov/v3/congress/116.json?api_key=INSERT_YOUR_KEY), I do see a <number> value. However, this does not display on the list-level. I can discuss adding this with our developers. Please stay tuned. Thanks!

That's correct @apreiter18, it's present when fetching an individual congress but not when listing them.
