Campaign Finance API Documentation

Using the Campaign Finance API, you can retrieve data from United States Federal Election Commission filings and other sources. The API, which originated at The New York Times in 2008, covers summary information for candidates and committees, as well as certain types of itemized data. This document describes the requests that users can make of the API and the responses that it returns.

Scope of data

The ProPublica Campaign Finance database is updated daily (electronic filings are updated every 15 minutes). For general information about FEC data, visit the FEC Web site.

Usage constitues agreement to our Data Terms of Use. The data returned by the Campaign Finance API is subject to the official sale and use restrictions set by the Federal Election Commission. By accessing this data via the ProPublica API, you understand and acknowledge that you are using the data subject to all applicable local, state and federal law, including the FEC restrictions.

Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
  -H "X-API-Key: PROPUBLICA_API_KEY"

Make sure to replace PROPUBLICA_API_KEY with your API key.

To use the Campaign Finance API, you must sign up for an API key by emailing apihelp@propublica.org. Usage is limited to 5000 requests per day (rate limits are subject to change). The API key must be included in all API requests to the server, set as a header:

X-API-Key: PROPUBLICA_API_KEY

Requests

The Campaign Finance API uses a RESTful style. See individual methods below for permitted requests. The API only accepts GET requests. All requests begin with:

https://api.propublica.org/campaign-finance/{version}/

The current version is v1.

Common Parameters

These parameters are used in all request types. See below for URI structures and additional parameters for each type of request.

The following parameters are optional:

Responses

The API provides JSON and XML responses for every type of request, and supports JSONP callbacks. Responses that are not date-based or containing aggregate totals return the first 20 results; pagination is available via an offset query string parameter using multiples of 20.
