Notes

This Choreo retrieves a list of the 20 top candidates in terms of contributions received. Results are filtered according to a specified category such as contribution total or debts owed. The list of available categories includes:

Candidate Loan: candidate-loan
Contribution Total: contribution-total
Debts Owed: debts-owed
Disbursements Total: disbursements-total
End Cash: end-cash
Individual Total: individual-total
PAC Total: pac-total
Receipts Total: receipts-total
Refund Total: refund-total

The Choreo makes an HTTP request to the NYTimes Campaign Finance Service, which is described at http://developer.nytimes.com/docs/campaign_finance_api#h3-candidate-leaders.

Here's an example of acceptable inputs:

APIKey: {YOUR API KEY}
