/ 100
Established

This project provides an API for accessing detailed U.S. federal spending data. It takes raw government spending information and makes it available through structured data calls, which can then be used to power dashboards, research, or custom applications. It is primarily for developers, data analysts, and researchers who need programmatic access to federal financial data.

403 stars.

Use this if you are a developer building an application or performing analysis that requires up-to-date, comprehensive U.S. federal spending data directly from the source.

Not ideal if you are a non-technical user looking for a ready-to-use interface to browse federal spending, as this requires technical setup and programming knowledge.
