Script Options Documentation #317

Description

@mmargenot

Is there any documentation on which options are available for which scrapers and how to parameterize them? Some individual tasks contain documentation on this, but it is not consistent, and there seem to be CLI inputs where the options do not respect each other.

As far as I can tell from the code, the following command should return only bills from the House and the Senate:

python ./congress/run.py govinfo --collections=BILLS --congress=119 --type=hr,s

but the scraper also pulls down sres, hjres, and so on, which indicates that the type option is not necessarily being respected. This may be a bug, but it may be a misunderstanding of how the tool is meant to work so I'm trying to disambiguate.
