What it answers

Campaign contribution totals for a U.S. election cycle, ranked by contributor state or by recipient committee type, aggregated from the FEC's itemized individual-contribution bulk records. Totals are integer cents with contribution counts, entity-level only — geography and committee classes, never individual donors. Coverage runs the 2020–2026 cycles. citature's ingest runs nightly and advances whenever the FEC publishes — a bulk cycle, not a daily feed — and every answer carries the exact bulk file it was built from, with its retrieval timestamp and the source's own as-of date.

What comes back

Every response is a receipt: the answer plus citations (the exact upstream query URL, independently re-runnable, with retrieved_at and the source's own as_of — two clocks, never collapsed), coverage caveats, matches declaring how any cross-source join was made, and a schema_version you can pin.

guardrails & coverage

Research over public-domain federal records — not legal, financial, or eligibility advice.
citature reports what the record says. It never renders a compliance verdict, a screening pass/fail, or a recommendation.
Entity-level records only (committees, candidates, recipients, agencies, contracts). No individual-person data.
Coverage reflects the records in citature's dataset, not the full upstream history. The ingest runs nightly and advances each dataset when its source publishes.
Every answer states its own coverage caveats in the receipt's `coverage` field.
