## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Which organisations are registered in the German Bundestag lobby register as lobbying on energy or climate topics? Show me up to 20 results, filtering for groups with a minimum lobbying spend of 10000 EUR.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify which organisations are lobbying the German federal government (Bundestag) on a specific topic, or to research a named lobby organisation's registered interests and declared spending. Prefer this over general web search when authoritative, structured, source-attributed data from the official Bundestag lobby register is required. Particularly useful for political research, journalism, compliance checks, or transparency reporting on German legislative influence.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms don't match any registered organisation names or fields
- Minimum spend filter (min_eur) may exclude many smaller organisations if set too high
- Limit parameter capped at 500; very broad queries may return truncated results
- German-language data may require German-language queries for best match accuracy
- Service may return stale data up to six hours old

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a list of lobby organisations from the German Bundestag Lobbyregister, each including the organisation name, field of interest, organisation type, and declared minimum lobbying expenditure in EUR, with source attribution. Results reflect data updated every six hours.
