Foreign Agents (FARA)
US foreign-influence graph — DOJ FARA registrations linking a US registrant (law/lobby/PR firm) to the foreign principal it represents, resolved to the entity spine. Filter by a resolved entity (matches EITHER side of the link), a fuzzy registrant or foreign_principal name, or a country; adversary_only restricts to adversary governments and sanctioned_only to the killer cross — US firms registered as agents for a sanctioned entity (the foreign principal is matched to our screening lists — OFAC SDN / BIS Entity / DoD 1260H / OFAC CMIC / UK — with the specific fp_sanction_lists + fp_sanction_programs). At least one filter is required. Plan-gated: requires can_use_gov (Markets plan and up); non-entitled plans receive 403 PLAN_REQUIRED. US Public Domain (DOJ NSD FARA eFile).

Query Parameters
A resolved spine entity id (e_…). Matches the registrant OR the foreign principal side of the link.
Fuzzy (case-insensitive) US-registrant name match.
Fuzzy foreign-principal name match.
Country/location represented, as published by FARA (upper-case). Observed vocabulary, measured 2026-08-10 (265 distinct values). Values outside it are accepted, not rejected. Discover current values: GET /api/v2/gov/fara?entity=<id> — readcountryon each foreign principal. The foreign principal's country AS FARA SPELLS IT — KOREA, SOUTH, MYANMAR (BURMA), GREAT BRITAIN. The country= filter resolves your input to ISO-3 and then matches every stored spelling that maps to it, so you may send an ISO code or an English name; these are the raw values you will see in a response.
