[00/Katzilla · Docs]live

The Katzilla API.

One REST API wrapping every major US government dataset plus the web via Scrape. One key. One citation contract. SDKs for TypeScript, Python, LangChain, Anthropic Claude, MCP, and the Agent2Agent protocol.

228+ actions27 agents284,032 validated datasets+133,438 searchable (raw file)// live · fetched from api.katzilla.dev

[01/Quickstart]

5 minutes from zero to first call.

Create an account, grab an API key, and hit an action. Every endpoint works the same way — pick an agent, pick an action, send params.

1 · install the SDK

npm i @katzilla/sdk
# or: pip install katzilla

2 · initialize with your key

import { Katzilla } from "@katzilla/sdk";
const kz = new Katzilla({ apiKey: "kz_live_..." });

3 · run an action

const quakes = await kz.query("hazards", "usgs-earthquakes", {
  minMagnitude: 5,
  limit: 10,
});

console.log(quakes.data);     // structured payload
console.log(quakes.quality);  // freshness, uptime, confidence
console.log(quakes.citation); // source_url, license, data_hash

That's the whole model. Every one of the 300+ actions follows the same query(agent, action, params) pattern.

[02/Authentication]

API keys, JWT, or social login.

Two supported authentication shapes, both issued from the same developer account.

API Key

// recommended for server-to-server

›Create from the dashboard → Keys.
›Ship as X-API-Key header.
›Scoped to your plan's rate + request limits.

curl -H "X-API-Key: kz_live_..."

JWT (bearer)

// recommended for user-facing apps

›Get via POST /auth/login or OAuth exchange.
›7-day expiry · refresh via re-login.
›sub claim maps to developer UUID.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGc..."

Social login: GitHub and Google OAuth flows are live. Both issue the same JWT and populate your developer record on first sign-in.

[03/Agent Tools API]

Plug-and-play tool schemas for any LLM.

Fetch pre-formatted, runtime-validated tool definitions for any LLM framework at GET /v1/tools. Supports OpenAI Function Calling, Anthropic Claude Tool Use, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Vercel AI SDK.

curl · get OpenAI function calling schemas

curl -H "X-API-Key: kz_live_..." \
  "https://api.katzilla.dev/v1/tools?format=openai&category=government"

[04/Entity Dossiers]

Graph intelligence across campaign finance and federal awards.

Composite dossier endpoints merge multi-agency data into an integrated entity profile. Explore visually on the Dossier Explorer ↗ or hit the API directly.

corporate dossier · POST /v1/dossier/company

curl -X POST "https://api.katzilla.dev/v1/dossier/company" \
  -H "X-API-Key: kz_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

congressional dossier · POST /v1/dossier/congress

curl -X POST "https://api.katzilla.dev/v1/dossier/congress" \
  -H "X-API-Key: kz_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"bioguide_id": "P000197", "include_trade_parsing": true}'

Congressional member dossiers automatically parse financial disclosure filings (including STOCK Act periodic transaction reports from PDF) to extract individual stock trade rows alongside donor PACs and district contracts.

[05/GovDoc PDF Parser]

Structured Document AI for government disclosures.

Convert notoriously unstructured government PDFs and disclosures into clean JSON or markdown at POST /v1/parse/gov-doc.

request · POST /v1/parse/gov-doc

}

[06/Data Diffing]

Time-travel & stateful change detection.

Check what changed between polling intervals or against live data. Inspect snapshots at GET /v1/diff or post a live diff check.

query historical snapshots · GET /v1/diff

curl -H "X-API-Key: kz_live_..." \

[07/Request + response]

One envelope. Every action.

Actions are invoked at POST /agents/:handle/actions/:actionId. The body is the action's input params (validated by its Zod schema) plus any token-optimization flags. Response always carries data, quality, citation, and meta.

request · POST /agents/hazards/actions/usgs-earthquakes

{
  "minMagnitude": 5,
  "limit": 10,
  "_fields": ["time", "mag", "place"],
  "_format": "compact"
}

response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { /* structured result */ },
  "text": null,
  "meta": {
    "agent": "hazards",
    "action": "usgs-earthquakes",
    "authMethod": "api-key",
    "creditsCharged": 0,
    "cacheStatus": "hit",
    "durationMs": 142
  },
  "quality": {
    "freshness_seconds": 47,
    "source_uptime_7d": 0.98,
    "confidence": "high",
    "certainty_score": 0.923
  },
  "citation": {
    "source_name": "U.S. Geological Survey",
    "source_url": "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/",
    "retrieved_at": "2026-04-17T12:34:56Z",
    "data_hash": "sha256:a1f3...",
    "license": "Public Domain",
    "update_frequency": "real-time"
  }
}

[08/Token optimization]

Trim responses for agents.

LLMs burn tokens on redundant fields. These params go in the same request body as action params; they're extracted before Zod validation.

paramtypeeffect

_fieldsstring[]Return only the named fields. Cuts payload size dramatically on large responses.

_format"full" | "compact"compact strips nulls. full keeps original shape.

_limitnumberCap array results (overrides per-action defaults).

_pagenumberPagination when the action supports it.

_normalizebooleanNormalize field names across sources (e.g. zip_code vs zipcode).

_units"metric" | "imperial"Unit conversion where applicable.

_summarybooleanReturn aggregate stats instead of raw rows.

_mocktrueReturn cached sample data. No upstream hit. Free on every plan.

[09/Citation contract]

Every response. Every endpoint. Every product.

Data, Scrape, Watch, and Ask all return the same citation block. One integration gives you auditable AI across the stack.

source_nameU.S. SEC EDGAR
source_urlhttps://sec.gov/cgi-bin/...
retrieved_at2026-04-17T12:34:56Z
data_hashsha256:a1f3... (verifiable)

original_format"JSON" | "CSV" | "XML" | "HTML" | ...
request_urlfull URL actually fetched upstream
citation_texthuman-readable citation string
citation_footnote[1] USGS, Apr 2026 style

data_hash is the sha256 of the response payload at fetch time. Re-fetch the source yourself and compare — if hashes match, you saw what we saw, byte-for-byte.

Per-plan caps. Hard cap on Free only.

Two meters. One for API calls, one for pages of live work.

Every plan has two billable dimensions. API calls cover things we've already indexed — search, metadata, raw file proxy, pre-parsed rows, agent actions. pages cover live work — a Crawlee scrape, a Claude-backed PDF parse, a crawl URL. Pages up to your plan's monthly allowance are free; overage is metered per page via Stripe and invoiced at period end.

How many pages is a PDF?

A page is ~25 KB of binary PDF content — we estimate from file size before the parse so you can preview the cost. The retrieval.parse.estimated_pages field in every dataset response carries this number, alongside retrieval.parse.per_page_cents. Cached Claude results charge zero pages — the first agent to read a dataset within a 30-day window pays; subsequent agents ride free until the upstream publisher updates.

Worked examples

Searching + downloading 5 CSVs from EPA:

17 calls total · 0 pages — covered by Free.

Claude-parsing 3 × 80-page IMLS PDFs:

3 calls + ~240 pages — within the 500 included on Pro $49/mo. Next month the same 3 docs charge 0 pages (cached).

200 news scrapes/day + 50 /search calls/day:

7.5K calls + 6K pages. Pro: $49 + 5,500 pages overage × $0.025 = $186.50. Business: $199 + 1,000 pages overage × $0.020 = $219. Pro is cheaper until ~10K pages/mo.
