## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find individual-level donor contribution data — who is giving money to specific campaigns or committees. Prefer this over the spending or fundraising totals endpoints when the question is about donor identity, donor employers, or individual contribution records rather than aggregate spending or candidate fundraising summaries.

## Known failure modes

- No matching donors found for the given query — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unrecognized candidate/committee name — may return zero results
- Payment failure (x402) — $0.01 USDC not settled, request rejected
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — too many calls in a short window
- Ambiguous employer name matching multiple entities — may return broad or noisy results
