🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
contributor_name	string	"SMITH"	Filter contributions by donor name (e.g. a person or company). Empty = all.
employer	string		Filter by contributor employer (e.g. a company name).
contributor_state	string		2-letter state code of the contributor (e.g. CA).

max_results	integer	25	Maximum contribution records to return.
api_key	string (secret)	empty	Optional free api.data.gov key (1,000 requests/hour of your own; sign up at api.data.gov/signup). Leave empty to use NexGenData's built-in access — shared, so capped at 20 requests (up to 2,000 records) per run. A rejected key stops the run before any record is fetched or charged.
include_raw	boolean	false	Attach the raw FEC record.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Contribution record (contribution-record)	$0.02	Charged per FEC contribution record returned.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.02 = $2.00 plus the start fee.
