US federal spending aggregated by recipient (USAspending) API

Queries the public USAspending.gov award-search API for a recipient/company name and aggregates every federal award (contracts + grants) into one rollup: total obligated dollars, award count, average award, the agencies funding them, and a top-awards leaderboard. The value-add: collapsing the paginated per-award firehose into a single recipient-level summary with derived totals. Distinct from a per-program gov-spending feed. Answers 'how much federal money has this company received', 'government contracts to this recipient', 'top awards for this organization', 'US gov spending on this vendor'.
