Resolve or prefix-search any FEC committee or candidate, cited to the bulk record.
Run funding-entity-lookup on ApifyWhat it answers
Resolve any FEC committee or candidate id to its registered record, or search both by name prefix, across the 2020–2026 election cycles. Answers come straight from the FEC's own bulk masters — the primary, public-domain federal record. citature's ingest runs nightly and advances this dataset whenever the FEC publishes, which the FEC does on its own bulk cycle rather than daily. Every response is a receipt: the exact upstream file cited, retrieval timestamps, the source's own as-of date, coverage caveats, and match provenance. Use it to anchor a pipeline: resolve the entity once, then feed its id to the contribution and money-flow tools.
Ask it things like
- What committee is C00401224, and what type and state is it registered under?
- Find every committee whose name starts with ACTBLUE.
- Which candidates filed under names beginning with SMITH for the 2026 cycle?
- What party is a candidate id registered with, and for which office?
- Resolve a PAC's name to its FEC committee id before tracing its inflows.
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.
