A repository with information on New York State Legislation. This mirrors the NY Senate Open Legislation Portal.
One way to do analysis on flat files is using tools like jq.
For example to see the top 10 most sponsored bills in each house which are not yet signed by the Govorner you could do the following
$ jq -r -c 'select(.Chamber == "SENATE" and .Resolution != true) | select(.Status != "SIGNED_BY_GOV") | select((.Sponsors | length) > 31) | {PrintNo,Status,Sponsors:(.Sponsors | length),Title}' bills/2023/*.json | jq -s -c 'sort_by(.Sponsors) | reverse | .[:10] | .[] '
