Extension summary

Analyze keywords

The Sunlight Influence Explorer is a browser extension that lets you seamlessly view a company's political campaign finance contributions based on your current URL and search for other company contributions regardless of the URL that you are viewing.

The extension uses a crowdsourced approach to link URLs to a specific company's contributions. It incorporates user feedback in real-time to detect new mappings as well as incorrect mappings that need to be removed.

This project is powered by the Sunlight Foundation's Influence Explorer API with data sourced from OpenSecrets.org and FollowTheMoney.org.
