Rank the organisations that received the most Australian Commonwealth grant money, by total AUD awarded, with award counts and the agencies that funded them. Filter by agency, category, recipient_state, and an awarded_from/awarded_to date range. The response states how many award rows were scanned and whether that covered every matching row, so a ranking drawn from the largest awards can be told apart from a ranking over the complete set. Answers “who are the biggest recipients of federal grant funding in this portfolio, state or year”.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`agency`	string	no	Funding agency, substring match, e.g. “Department of Social Services”.
`category`	string	no	Grant category, substring match, e.g. “Social Inclusion”.
`recipient_state`	string	no	Recipient state/territory: ACT, NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT.
`awarded_from`	string	no	Earliest publish date, ISO YYYY-MM-DD.
`awarded_to`	string	no	Latest publish date, ISO YYYY-MM-DD.
`limit`	number,string	no	How many recipients to rank (1-100, default 20).
`scan_limit`	number,string	no	How many award rows to read before ranking, largest-value first (1000-20000, default 5000). Raise it for a ranking that covers more of the matching set.
`include_aggregate`	boolean	no	Default false. GrantConnect files bundled disclosures under the literal recipient name “Aggregate” when the individual recipients are withheld; those rows are excluded from the ranking because they are a reporting artefact rather than an organisation. Set true to count them as one pseudo-recipient.
