Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agent402.tools/api/fec-candidatesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need live, authoritative US federal election candidate data from the FEC — specifically to look up candidate names, identify which office they're running for, verify party affiliation, find FEC candidate IDs, or distinguish incumbents from challengers. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, queryable candidate records rather than news articles or bios.
Side effects
- No candidates found matching the query string — returns empty results
- Query parameter 'q' missing — returns 400 or validation error
- Limit out of range (not 1-20) — may be clamped or return error
- FEC upstream API unavailable — may return 500 or timeout
- Very common name returns max results without the specific candidate sought
