## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability build-scotts-bluff-federal-awards-api-4ea2ed8d
```

Example prompt: Pull the federal awards matched to Scotts Bluff County parcel owners — I want to see recipient names, award amounts, agencies, and any DOGE-flagged terminations in the dataset.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need federal award data cross-referenced specifically to Scotts Bluff County parcel ownership records rather than just mailing addresses. It is the best choice when you want to identify which property owners in the county have received federal funds, track DOGE-flagged terminations at the local level, or analyze the county's federal spending series by agency — capabilities not offered by generic USAspending search tools.

## Known failure modes

- No awards found for the requested owner or parcel — returns empty result set
- Invalid or missing query parameters — returns 400 bad request
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- USAspending upstream data unavailable — may return 503 or stale data
- Owner name mismatch due to spelling variation — may return incomplete matches

## How this service works

Federal awards (USAspending) matched to Scotts Bluff County parcels by OWNER OF RECORD rather than address alone: award id, recipient, category, amount, subsidy cost, action date, agency and sub-agency, plus DOGE-flagged terminations and the county spend series. GET /v1/federal-awards.

## Output

A structured list of federal awards from USAspending matched to Scotts Bluff County parcels by owner of record, each record containing award ID, recipient name, award category, dollar amount, subsidy cost, action date, awarding agency and sub-agency, DOGE termination flag status, and a county-level spend time series.
