Summary

Fetches federal agency spending profiles and GAO findings via the Apify federal spending forensic actor.

Inputs

  • agency — Filter by federal agency. Defaults to 'all' (all agencies). Select specific agencies from the list as needed.
  • fiscalYear — Federal fiscal year (October 1 – September 30). Defaults to 2025; valid range 2015–2026.
  • waitForCompletion — Whether to wait for the actor run to complete before returning results. Defaults to true. When false, returns immediately with a run ID for later status checking.
  • advancedOptions — Collection of optional advanced parameters. Includes recipientName, recipientState, placeOfPerformanceState, pscCode, enableForensicFlags, traceSubAwards, and timeout.

Output shape

When waitForCompletion is true: an array of items, each containing the actor's raw dataset results augmented with _operation, _runId, and _datasetId properties. When waitForCompletion is false: a single item { success: true, status: 'RUNNING', runId, datasetId, operation, message: 'Extraction started. Use Get Run Status to check progress. }`.

Results are fetched from the Apify dataset associated with the started run. Each result item represents one record from the actor's default dataset.

Examples

Example 1: Get agency spending profiles for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2024, waiting for completion.

Set agency to 'Department of Defense', fiscalYear to 2024, leave waitForCompletion at true (default).
