Pass `?recipient=Lockheed Martin` (required, fuzzy name match) plus optional `?award_type=contracts|grants|all`, `?order=amount|date`, `?limit=` (max 50). Each award carries the award id, amount, awarding agency, period of performance, description, and a usaspending.gov link, with a total. A government-spending catalyst. ## Output A JSON object containing the recipient name, award type, total amount awarded, count of awards, list of matched recipient name variants, and an array of individual award records each with award ID, dollar amount, awarding agency and sub-agency, start/end dates, description, and a link to the USAspending.gov page. Sourced from USAspending.gov and attributed accordingly. ## Example request ```json { "input": { "type": "http", "method": "GET", "queryParams": { "limit": 10, "order": "amount", "recipient": "Microsoft Corporation", "award_type": "contracts" } } } ``` ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET", "HEAD", "DELETE" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "award_type", "limit", "order" ], "properties": { "limit": { "type": "integer", "default": 20, "maximum": 50, "exclusiveMinimum": 0 }, "order": { "enum": [ "amount", "date" ], "type": "string", "default": "amount" }, "recipient": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 120, "minLength": 2 }, "award_type": { "enum": [ "contracts", "grants", "all" ], "type": "string", "default": "contracts" } }, "additionalProperties": {} } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "source", "as_of", "recipient", "award_type", "matched_recipients", "count", "total_awarded", "awards", "attribution" ], "properties": { "as_of": { "type": "string" }, "count": { "type": "number" }, "awards": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "required": [ "award_id", "recipient", "amount", "awarding_agency", "awarding_sub_agency", "start_date", "end_date", "description", "url" ], "properties": { "url": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "string" }, { "type": "null" } ] }, "amount": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "number" }, { "type": "null" } ] }, "award_id": { … (truncated) ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "as_of": "2026-06-05T12:00:00.000Z", "count": 2, "awards": [ { "url": "https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_DEAC0494AL85000_8900_-NONE-_-NONE-", "amount": 48063763681.32, "award_id": "DEAC0494AL85000", "end_date": "2017-04-30", "recipient": "LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP", "start_date": "1993-10-15", "description": null, "awarding_agency": "Department of Energy", "awarding_sub_agency": "Department of Energy" }, { "url": "https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_N0001917C0001_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-", "amount": 35135514910.2, "award_id": "N0001917C0001", "end_date": "2031-03-31", "recipient": "LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION", "start_date": "2017-11-17", "description": "LRIP LOT 12 ADVANCE ACQUISITION CONTRACT", "awarding_agency": "Department of Defense", "awarding_sub_agency": "Department of the Navy" } ], "source": "usaspending", "recipient": "Lockheed Martin", "award_type": "contracts", "attribution": "Source: USAspending.gov (U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service)", "total_awarded": 83199278591.32, "matched_recipients": [ "LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION", "LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP" ] } } ``` ## More - Live health (JSON, refreshed every minute): https://www.zero.xyz/c/x402stock-government-contracts-lookup-fb766322/health.json - [Zero catalog index](https://www.zero.xyz/llms.txt) - [Other services from x402stock.xyz](https://www.zero.xyz/host/x402stock.xyz/llms.txt)
