Search FARA registrants — US agents registered to represent FOREIGN principals (foreign governments, parties, businesses) for lobbying/influence inside the US. FARA has no server-side search, so this fetches the bulk active-registrant dump (~556 rows) once and filters CLIENT-SIDE by a name substring (case-insensitive); results are capped. Set status=“terminated” to search the much larger terminated dump (~6,500 rows, ~1.4MB fetched once). Returns each registrant’s name, registration_number (use it with list_foreign_principals / get_registrant_documents), address and registration_date. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	no	Case-insensitive substring matched against the registrant name + business name, e.g. “scoyoc”, “global”, “BGR”. Omit to return the first page of all registrants.
`status`	string	no	Which registrant dump to search. Default “active”.
`limit`	number	no	Max rows to return (default 25, hard cap ${MAX_RESULTS}).
