	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`openfec_get_committee_totals`Get pre-aggregated committee financial totals — receipts, disbursements, cash on hand, debts, and the itemized/unitemized breakdown — without paginating Schedule A. Use mode "single" (the default) with a committee_id for one committee's totals, one row per two-year cycle it has filed. Use mode "by_entity_type" to rank or screen every committee of one type (presidential, pac, party, pac-party, house-senate, ie-only) by state, designation, or a receipts/disbursements threshold.

`openfec_get_legal_document`Fetch one FEC legal document — advisory opinion, MUR, ADR, administrative fine, or statute — by its type and number. openfec_search_legal replaces each result's documents and dispositions arrays with a count and category summary and cuts every commission vote down to a date and a 200-character action; this returns the record as upstream sends it, whole when it fits the 100,000-byte response budget. A larger record returns its scalar fields and the arrays that fit, with the rest listed in withheld; page through one by re-calling with array and offset. doc_type is the plural form of the document_type discriminator on a search result (advisory_opinion becomes advisory_opinions, mur becomes murs, adr becomes adrs, admin_fine becomes admin_fines, statute becomes statutes), and no is that result's no field — every document type carries it, and advisory opinions repeat it as ao_no.

`openfec_search_legal`Search FEC legal documents: advisory opinions, enforcement cases (MURs), alternative dispute resolutions, administrative fines, and statutes. The citation, penalty, respondent, ao_number, and case_number filters each apply to only some document types; with type omitted, the search returns only the types every one of them applies to. Each response is held to 100,000 bytes: when a page would exceed it, whole results are held back and nextFromHit gives the from_hit that continues each document type.
