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.
is_notice	Record filed as 24- or 48-hour notice
payee_name	Name of the entity that received the payment
filing_form	Filing form
sort_null_only	Toggle that filters out all rows having sort column that is non-null
cycle	Filter records to only those that were applicable to a given two-year period.The cycle begins with an odd year and is named for its ending, even year.
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.
support_oppose_indicator	Support or opposition
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.
last_expenditure_amount	When sorting by expenditure_amount, this is populated with the expenditure_amount of the last result. However, you will need to pass the index of that last result to last_index to get the next page.
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.
last_office_total_ytd	When sorting by office_total_ytd, this is populated with the office_total_ytd of the last result. However, you will need to pass the index of that last result to last_index to get the next page.
last_expenditure_date	When sorting by expenditure_date, this is populated with the expenditure_date of the last result. However, you will need to pass the index of that last result to last_index to get the next page.
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.
