How to get OpenFEC Campaign Finance Filings

Pull recent FEC campaign-finance filings (committees, forms, PDFs) for midterms-season monitoring schedules. A run saves one row per result.

One row per result

A row has FEC file id, Committee name, Form type, Receipt date. The columns are listed in the schema on this page.

Put the run on a schedule and the next file is the latest rows.

The rows are the same in each of those tools. The guide for the one you already use starts with a free Apify account and finishes with the file.

Examples come from the actor sample, not a live result.
