openfec_get_committee_totals Get pre-aggregated committee financial totals — receipts, disbursements, cash on hand, debts, and the itemized/unitemized breakdown — without paginating Schedule A. Use mode "single" (the default) with a committee_id for one committee's totals, one row per two-year cycle it has filed. Use mode "by_e
openfec_search_contributions Search itemized individual contributions (Schedule A) or get aggregate breakdowns by size, state, employer, or occupation. Use to answer "who is funding this committee?" Itemized mode requires a committee_id. Aggregate by_size/by_state can use candidate_id instead.
openfec_search_disbursements Search itemized committee spending (Schedule B) or get aggregate breakdowns by purpose or recipient. All modes require a committee_id. Use to answer "what is this committee spending money on?" or "who is receiving payments from this committee?"
openfec_search_expenditures Search independent expenditures (Schedule E) — outside spending supporting or opposing federal candidates. Covers Super PACs, party committees, and other groups. Use itemized mode for individual expenditure records, or by_candidate for aggregated totals per candidate; by_candidate needs either a can

openfec_lookup_elections Look up federal election races and candidate financial summaries. Find who's running in a race with fundraising totals, or get an aggregate race summary.
openfec_search_legal Search FEC legal documents: advisory opinions, enforcement cases (MURs), alternative dispute resolutions, administrative fines, and statutes. The citation, penalty, respondent, ao_number, and case_number filters each apply to only some document types; with type omitted, the search returns only the t
openfec_get_legal_document Fetch one FEC legal document — advisory opinion, MUR, ADR, administrative fine, or statute — by its type and number. openfec_search_legal replaces each result's documents and dispositions arrays with a count and category summary and cuts every commission vote down to a date and a 200-character actio
openfec_lookup_calendar Look up FEC calendar events, filing deadlines, and election dates. Use to find upcoming filing windows for a committee, locate when a federal election occurred, or scope FEC events by date range and category.
