gov_spending_search
Pack: us-gov-contracts · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/us-gov-contracts/mcp
Search US STATE government spending / vendor payments — the ‘checkbook’ data of what an agency actually PAID a vendor (distinct from an awarded contract’s value). Keyless. Filter by vendor, awarding agency, spending category keyword, and minimum amount. Pass a jurisdiction key (see gov_contracts_jurisdictions) to target one state, or omit it to search all covered states. Returns vendor, agency, amount, category, and fiscal year. Use gov_contracts_search for awarded contracts; use this for actual payments/expenditures.
