## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: How much federal money does Raytheon receive, and can you show me their registered recipient entities and USAspending.gov profile links — top 5 results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured federal spending data tied to a specific company name, including UEI identifiers, parent/subsidiary distinctions, and direct links to official USAspending.gov records. It is ideal for due diligence, competitive intelligence, and procurement research tasks where knowing exactly which legal entities receive federal funds — and how much — matters. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, structured data with reliable dollar amounts sourced directly from the public domain USAspending.gov dataset.

## Known failure modes

- Company name under 3 characters returns a validation error
- Very generic or common company names may match hundreds of entities; use limit parameter to control results
- No results returned if the company name does not appear in USAspending.gov records
- Misspelled company names may return zero or irrelevant matches
- Limit exceeds maximum of 20 results per call

## How this service works

Government vendor profile by company name: how much federal money an organization receives, under which registered entities, with identifiers and profile links to the full official record. Distinguishes parent companies from subsidiaries so agents aggregate the right rows.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the original query, the total number of matched recipients, and a list of up to 20 recipient records. Each record includes the entity's UEI identifier, legal name, recipient level (P for parent or S for subsidiary), total recent federal award amount in USD, a direct USAspending.gov profile URL, and an internal recipient ID. Attribution is noted as USAspending.gov public domain data.
