## 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 script-master-labs-fec-finance-api-60b5f783
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the FEC campaign finance records for candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the 2024 election cycle?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need on-demand FEC campaign finance lookups without a standing FEC API key or bulk data subscription, and when you want to pay only per query in USDC via the x402 protocol. It is ideal for agents that need occasional political finance research without managing government API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- No matching records found for the given name or committee — returns empty result
- Invalid or unrecognized election cycle year — may return error or default to latest cycle
- Payment failure via x402/USDC — HTTP 402 returned if payment is not settled
- Ambiguous name matches multiple candidates or committees — results may be broad
- Rate limiting or server unavailability on the Render-hosted service

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, Section 8/HUD housing, and compliance APIs via x402. Primary: USDC on Base (eip155:8453). Also accepts Global Dollar (USDG) on Robinhood Chain (eip155:4663) via sovereign X-PAYMENT-TX. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/gas-tracker, /x402/pha-lookup, /x402/sec-8k). MARKETPLACE REVIEW: use free /x402/playground/* (no key, no payment). Production /x402/* returns 402 unless paid via x402 or X-Api-Market-Key / X-API-Key from seller dashboard.

## Output

Returns U.S. FEC campaign finance data matching the query, which may include candidate contribution totals, committee filings, donor records, and election-cycle-specific financial activity sourced from FEC public records.
