🐍 About The Project

PyDOGE API is an advanced, Python wrapper for interacting with the public-facing API of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a federal initiative aimed at increasing transparency and fiscal accountability by sharing detailed datasets on:

• 💸 Cancelled grants
• 📑 Contract terminations
• 🏢 Lease reductions
• 🧾 Payment transactions

🚀 Features

• Auto-pagination (sync or async, fetch all pages if needed)
• .export() to CSV, Excel, or JSON with timestamped filenames
• .to_dataframe() for Pandas users
• .summary() with analytics (rows, nulls, dtypes, stats)
• summary(save_as="...") for file logging
• Returns Pydantic models & dict output
• Retry-safe client with 429 handling

This package enables data scientists and analysts to programmatically access and analyze the data with ease.

📚 Usage

Get Grants and sorted by savings

from pydoge_api import DogeAPI

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True, run_async=False) as api:
    grants = api.savings.get_grants(sort_by="savings")
    df = grants.to_dataframe()
    print(df.head())

    # Export to CSV
    grants.export("grants_q1", format="csv")
    
    # Show summary in terminal
    grants.summary(verbose=True)
    
    # Save the summary as markdown
    grants.summary(save_as="logs/grants_summary.md")

Get Contracts and sorted by agency

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True, run_async=False) as api:
    contracts = api.savings.get_contracts(sort_by="agency")
    df = contracts.to_dataframe()
    print(df.head())

    # Export to CSV
    contracts.export("contracts_q1", format="csv")
    
    # Show summary in terminal
    contracts.summary(verbose=True)
    
    # Save the summary as markdown
    contracts.summary(save_as="logs/contracts_summary.md")

Get Leases

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True, run_async=False) as api:
    leases = api.savings.get_leases()
    df = leases.to_dataframe()
    print(df.head())
    
    # Export to CSV
    leases.export("leases_q1", format="csv")
    
    # Show summary in terminal
    leases.summary(verbose=True)
    
    # Save the summary as markdown
    leases.summary(save_as="logs/leases_summary.md")

Get Payments and filter payments by agency

with DogeAPI(fetch_all=True, run_async=False) as api:
    payments = api.payments.get_payments(filter="agency", filter_value="NASA")
    df =payments.to_dataframe()
    print(df.head())
    
    # Export to CSV
    payments.export("payments_q1", format="csv")
    
    # Show summary in terminal
    payments.summary(verbose=True)
    
    # Save the summary as markdown
    payments.summary(save_as="logs/payments_summary.md")

Without using Context Manager

api = DogeAPI(
    fetch_all=True, # Get all records if True. Default False
    run_async=False # For Async set this to True
)

try:
    # Get Grants and sorted by savings
    grants = api.savings.get_grants(sort_by="savings")
    
    # Get Contracts and sorted by agency
    contracts = api.savings.get_contracts(sort_by="agency")
    
    # Get Leases
    leases = api.savings.get_leases()
    
    # Get Payments and filter payments by agency
    payments = api.payments.get_payments(filter="agency", filter_value="NASA")
    
    # Export to CSV
    grants.export("grants_q1", format="csv")
    
    # Show summary in terminal
    grants.summary(verbose=True)
    
    # Save the summary as markdown
    grants.summary(save_as="logs/grants_summary.md")
    
finally:
    api.close()
