## 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-lobbying-disclosure-filings-api-754c4d78 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull up the 2025 federal lobbying disclosure filings for Coinbase — I want to see which lobbying firms they hired, how much they paid, and what issues were being lobbied on.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, queryable access to US federal lobbying disclosure data from the Senate LDA database — particularly for filtering by client company, lobbying firm, or year. It is ideal for policy research, competitive intelligence, market analysis, and accountability journalism where you need income figures, issue codes, and lobbyist names from official quarterly filings. Prefer this over manual Senate LDA website searches when you need programmatic, agent-friendly JSON responses at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if client name doesn't match exact or partial string in database
- Ambiguous company names may return filings for unrelated entities with similar names
- Missing year filter may return large result sets across all years
- Registrant name misspelling returns empty results
- API may return stale data if upstream Senate database has not been refreshed

## How this service works

Lobbying disclosure filings: who is lobbying the US federal government, for whom, and on what — quarterly registrations and reports with client, lobbying firm, income or expenses, specific issues text, and the individual lobbyists named on each filing. Filter by client company, lobbying firm, or year. Follow-the-influence data for policy, market-intel, and accountability agents.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matching filings and an array of filing records, each including the client name, lobbying firm (registrant) name, income or expenses, filing UUID, filing year, filing type (e.g. Quarterly Report), and an array of lobbying activities with general issue codes. Attribution to the US Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act public database is included.
