## 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 lobbyist-filings-lookup-c591a204 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull all the 2025 quarterly lobbying filings where Coinbase is listed as the client — I want to see the registrant firms, income amounts, and issue areas covered.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable lobbying disclosure data from the US Senate LDA database without setting up your own scraping pipeline. It is especially useful for agents building influence-mapping workflows that combine lobbying data with campaign finance and congressional trading records. Prefer it over direct LDA website scraping for reliability and structured output, and over generic web search when you need specific filing amounts, issue codes, and lobbyist rosters for a named organization.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when client/registrant name spelling doesn't match the LDA database exactly
- Ambiguous organization names may return filings for multiple unrelated entities
- Missing or null income fields for certain filing types (e.g., registrations vs. quarterly reports)
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Year parameter outside available data range returns empty results

## How this service works

Lobbyist filing lookup: quarterly lobbying reports and registrations matching a client or firm name, with amounts, issue areas, lobbyist rosters, and filing documents. Combine with campaign-finance and congressional-trade data to map an organization's full influence footprint.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a count of matching filings and an array of results, each with the client name, registrant (lobbying firm) name, income amount, filing UUID, filing year, filing type display name, and an array of lobbying activities with their general issue code labels. Attribution to the US Senate LDA public domain database is included.
