# Api Industry Federal Contractors

`GET /api/industry/federal-contractors`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.oxfordledge.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://www.oxfordledge.com/api/industry/federal-contractors`
- Auth: none declared

Top public companies by federal contract obligations for a fiscal year —
a forward-revenue equity signal (USAspending, public). Never raises into the
SPA: the exception path returns items:[] so the list-iteration can't NPE.

## Query parameters

- `fiscal_year` integer: Federal fiscal year (0 = latest)
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- FederalContractorsResponse: `GET /api/industry/federal-contractors` (SF_INDUSTRY_RESEARCH Phase 1). `items` REQUIRED — the SPA industry view iterates `data.items` to render the leaderboard; the exception path returns `{items: [], error}` (still 200) so the list-iteration never NPEs (the /api/insiders field-shadow defect class).
