Data and API access for institutions

The Canadian data behind Insider Express — politicians’ disclosures, federal contracts and grants, lobbying meetings and political donations — delivered to your systems as a structured feed, entity-resolved and kept current.

For funds, banks, research desks, newsrooms, compliance teams and universities

What you can license

How it is delivered

• REST API — JSON over HTTPS, key-authenticated, with cursor pagination and updated_since filters for incremental pulls.
• Bulk delivery — full historical snapshots and daily deltas as CSV, JSONL or Parquet, to object storage or a signed URL.
• Entity resolution included — names normalised, tickers attached where a party is publicly traded, and the same identifier used across every dataset, so a company’s contracts, lobbying and donations join without your team writing the matcher.
• No personal information for resale — licensed feeds exclude the personal details of private individuals that appear in public records, such as individual donors.
• Provenance on every row — the filing or registry record behind it, so anything you publish can be traced back to source.

Typical uses

• Signal research and backtesting on government-spending and lobbying activity
• Diligence and counterparty screening against public-sector exposure
• Newsroom investigation and monitoring
• Compliance and conflict-of-interest surveillance
• Academic research on procurement, lobbying and political finance
