Get specific debt information reported by committees. Schedule D shows all debts owed. If you just need total debts, use get_candidate_totals().

get_itemized_debts(data = NULL,
  api_key = Sys.getenv("DATAGOV_API_KEY"), data_structure = "tidy",
  min_amount_incurred = NULL, min_payment_period = NULL,
  max_payment_period = NULL, creditor_debtor_name = NULL,

Arguments

data

A dataframe or tibble. Usually this will be the returned result of search_candidates(). If a column is called 'candidate_id', get_candidate_totals() will return results for all IDs in that column and will attempt to join data to the result by candidate_id. Either this argument or candidate_ids is required
api_key

API key for https://api.data.gov. Get one at https://api.data.gov/signup.
data_structure

A character describing how you want OpenFEC results. Options are 'tidy', 'list', or 'both.' Choose list for raw results.
sort_null_only

Toggle that filters out all rows having sort column that is non-null
sort_hide_null

Hide null values on sorted column(s).
max_date

Maximum date
candidate_id

A unique identifier assigned to each candidate registered with the FEC. If a person runs for several offices, that person will have separate candidate IDs for each office.
sort

Provide a field to sort by. Use - for descending order.
min_amount

Filter for all amounts greater than a value.
min_date

Minimum date
image_number

The image number of the page where the schedule item is reported.
max_amount

Filter for all amounts less than a value.
committee_id

A unique identifier assigned to each committee or filer registered with the FEC. In general committee id's begin with the letter C which is followed by eight digits.
line_number

Filter for form and line number using the following format: FORM-LINENUMBER. For example an argument such as F3X-16 would filter down to all entries from form F3X line number 16.
