## 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 scriptmasterlabs-fec-finance-lookup-api-024e819f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the FEC campaign finance records for candidate Joe Smith in the 2024 election cycle, including any associated committee contributions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to FEC campaign finance data without a standing API subscription — ideal for agents that need occasional lookups of candidate funding, PAC contributions, or donor histories. Prefer this over direct FEC API integration when micro-payment billing via USDC on Base is acceptable and you need results normalized through a middleware layer.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or invalid returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions
- Unknown candidate or committee name returns empty results or not-found error
- Invalid election cycle format returns validation error
- Network timeout from upstream FEC data source
- Rate limiting if requests exceed allowed threshold without valid payment

## 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 structured FEC campaign finance data including contribution amounts, donor details, committee names and IDs, candidate information, and election cycle breakdowns sourced from Federal Election Commission records.
