## 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 forgemesh-government-contracts-by-company-cd4e62ec -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull up all the federal government contracts that Palantir has won from the Department of Defense — show me the top 10 sorted by dollar amount, going back to 2020.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable federal contract data for a specific company — especially when you want dollar amounts, agency breakdowns, and date ranges in a single call. Prefer this over manual USAspending.gov searches when building automated research pipelines, competitive analyses, or vendor due-diligence workflows. It is distinct from endpoints that look up state/local contracts, grants, or general company financial data.

## Known failure modes

- Company name too short (under 3 characters) returns a validation error
- No matching awards found returns an empty awards array
- Invalid ISO date format for since/until returns a parsing error
- Unknown or misspelled agency name may return zero results without error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response
- Very common company names may return unrelated entities with similar names

## How this service works

What contracts has a company won from the US government: pass a company name and get its federal contract awards — dollar amounts, awarding agencies, start and end dates, award descriptions, and record links — as structured JSON sorted largest first. Optionally narrow to one agency or a date window.

## Output

A JSON object containing the query parameters echoed back, an array of award objects (each with award_id, recipient, amount_usd, awarding_agency, awarding_sub_agency, start_date, end_date, description, and award_url linking to USAspending.gov), a count of returned records, and attribution to USAspending.gov. Results are sorted by award amount descending.
