Search federal contract awards (USAspending, $10M+) by recipient, ticker, awarding agency, keyword, date range or minimum amount. Returns total_matching and pages with offset (up to 50 per call), sorted by date or amount. For "who won the most" questions use award_totals instead, which counts every match.
