## 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 clearcheck-federal-campaign-finance-profile-6ee41e34
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the federal campaign finance profile for Warren — I want to see how much she's raised, what she's spent, and what's left in the bank? Look for Senate candidates.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, FEC-sourced campaign finance data for a named federal candidate — including fundraising totals, spending, cash on hand, and debt — especially when you need a quick profile lookup by name rather than building a full FEC API integration. Best for single-candidate lookups or small result sets; not suited for bulk data exports or PAC/committee-level queries.

## Known failure modes

- Candidate name not found in FEC database — returns empty candidates array or no bestMatch
- Ambiguous name matches multiple candidates — returns list of candidates without a clear bestMatch
- Office filter too narrow — restricts results so the actual candidate is excluded
- Candidate has not filed with FEC — finances fields may be null or zero
- FEC upstream API unavailable — service may return error or timeout
- Misspelled candidate name — no results returned

## How this service works

Federal campaign finance profile: who a candidate is, what they raised and spent, and what is left in the bank.

## Output

Returns a best-match candidate profile with name, party, state, office, incumbent/challenger status, district, and a detailed finances object covering total receipts, total disbursements, cash on hand, loans, debts owed, individual itemized and unitemized contributions, candidate self-funding, refunds, and the election year and filing period. Also includes a list of additional matching candidates, a verdict string, and reasons for the match selection.
