GET /v1/awards
Federal spending awards from USAspending.gov — contracts, grants, loans, and direct payments — normalized into flat JSON. Each record carries the award id, recipient, amount, awarding agency, type, dates, place of performance, description, and the usaspending.gov link. Pick one category per call. Pairs with /v1/opportunities: the solicitation on SAM, then who actually won the awards here.
