PyDOGE API

A modern, fully-typed Python SDK for the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) API — pull cancelled grants, contracts, leases, and payments, then analyze, export, and visualize them in a few lines.

📃 Documentation  ·  📦 PyPI  ·  🐛 Report a bug

PyDOGE API wraps the public DOGE API — a federal transparency initiative publishing detailed data on 💸 cancelled grants, 📑 contract terminations, 🏢 lease reductions, and 🧾 payment transactions — and turns it into a smooth workflow for data scientists, analysts, and journalists.

✨ Highlights

📦 Installation

pip install pydoge-api              # core
pip install "pydoge-api[viz]"      # + charts (matplotlib, plotly)

Requires Python 3.9+.

⚡ Quickstart

from pydoge_api import DogeAPI

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True) as api:
    grants = api.savings.get_grants(sort_by="savings")

    print(grants.meta.total_results)        # e.g. 15887
    df = grants.to_dataframe()              # pandas DataFrame, dates parsed
    grants.summary()                        # rows / nulls / dtypes / stats
    grants.export("grants", format="csv")  # -> grants_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv

Prefer the combined savings dataset?

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True) as api:
    df = api.savings.all()                  # grants + contracts + leases, with a `kind` column

print(df.groupby("kind")["savings"].sum())

🖥️ Command line

No Python required — the pydoge CLI ships with the package:

pydoge grants --sort-by savings --limit 10                       # Rich preview table
pydoge payments --filter agency_name --filter-value NASA --summary
pydoge contracts --fetch-all --export csv --out contracts        # timestamped CSV
pydoge all --export json                                          # combined dataset

📈 Visualize in one line

from pydoge_api import DogeAPI, viz        # pip install "pydoge-api[viz]"

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True) as api:
    df = api.savings.get_grants(sort_by="savings").to_dataframe()

viz.plot_top_agencies(df, metric="savings", top_n=10)

Also available: plot_over_time, plot_distribution, plot_cumulative, and an interactive US-state plot_state_choropleth for leases.

📚 More examples

from pydoge_api import DogeAPI

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True) as api:
    contracts = api.savings.get_contracts(sort_by="value")
    leases    = api.savings.get_leases(sort_by="savings")
    payments  = api.payments.get_payments(filter="agency_name", filter_value="NASA")

    for resp, name in [(contracts, "contracts"), (leases, "leases"), (payments, "payments")]:
        resp.summary()
        resp.export(name, format="xlsx")

# Plain dicts instead of Pydantic models (still export-capable)
with DogeAPI(output_pydantic=False) as api:
    grants = api.savings.get_grants()
    grants.export("grants", format="json")

# Raw httpx.Response (no parsing)
with DogeAPI(handle_response=False) as api:
    resp = api.savings.get_grants()
    print(resp.status_code, resp.json()["meta"])

# Concurrent pagination for large pulls
with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True, run_async=True) as api:
    payments = api.payments.get_payments()

api = DogeAPI(fetch_all=True)
try:
    grants = api.savings.get_grants(sort_by="savings")
    grants.export("grants", format="csv")
finally:
    api.close()

from pydoge_api import DogeAPI, DogeAPIRequestError

with DogeAPI() as api:
    try:
        grants = api.savings.get_grants()
    except DogeAPIRequestError as err:
        print(err.status_code, err.url)   # raised after retries / on non-retriable errors

🔒 Secure logging

PyDOGE logs through PyLogShield — cloud-credential prefixes (AWS_, AZURE_, GCP_, TOKEN, …) are scrubbed automatically, and you can mask secrets per call. The logger is created lazily, so import pydoge_api has no side effects.

from pydoge_api._logging import get_logger

log = get_logger("pydoge_api", enable_json=True)
log.warning("api_key=SECRET123", mask=True)   # -> api_key=***
