How this service works
Resolve a politician's name to official candidate and committee identifiers used across US campaign-finance datasets. Fuzzy name in, exact ids out — the join key an agent needs before any deterministic money query.
Output
A JSON object containing the matched candidate count, and for each candidate: their full official name, party, state, office, district, FEC candidate_id, active_through year, and a list of principal committees each with a name and committee_id. Attribution to the Federal Election Commission is included.
Example use cases
Pre-query enrichment for donation analysis
“Before I pull Jon Ossoff's donor list from the FEC, can you get me his candidate ID and committee ID so I have the right join keys?”
Verify candidate office and party affiliation
“I need to confirm whether Raphael Warnock is listed as a Democratic Senate candidate in Georgia and get his FEC candidate ID.”
Multi-candidate campaign finance research
“I'm researching Senate race spending — can you resolve 'Warnock' and 'Walker' to their official FEC candidate IDs and committee IDs so I can pull their filings?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/candidate-id-resolver?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint as the first step in any US campaign-finance workflow when you have a politician's name but need their FEC candidate_id or committee_id to query donation, expenditure, or filing datasets. It handles fuzzy matching so you don't need the exact formatted name. Prefer this over manual FEC search when automating multi-candidate research pipelines or when building agents that need to join across FEC datasets by identifier.
Side effects
- Name string too short (under 3 characters) — API rejects request
- No matching candidates found — returns matched:0 and empty candidates array
- Ambiguous name matches multiple candidates — returns all matches, caller must disambiguate
- Candidate not in FEC database (e.g. state/local-only politicians) — no results returned
- Network or payment failure — x402 payment required before response is delivered
