Common questions
Where does the data come from? +
The official OpenFEC API (api.open.fec.gov) — the Federal Election Commission’s own public data source, the same one fec.gov itself uses.
Do I need an API key? +
No for small tests — FEC’s public DEMO_KEY works but is rate-limited. Get a free api.data.gov key in seconds for real volume.
Can I look up a specific committee’s donors? +
Yes — search committees mode to find the committee ID, then contributions mode with that ID to get itemized donations.
What does it cost? +
You pay per result actually delivered — a candidate, committee, or contribution row. Empty searches and failed runs cost nothing.
