Returns FARA registrations — US persons and firms registered with the DOJ as agents of a foreign principal under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Use this when the user asks about: who is a registered foreign agent, which US firms work for a particular foreign government, recently-registered foreign agents, or to add a 'foreign- influence' flag to a lobbying firm, law firm, or PR firm. Each record is one registrant ↔ foreign-principal relationship — a registrant representing three foreign principals appears as three records. The single highest-signal filter is foreign_principal_country: foreign_principal_country='CHINA' → every US agent acting for a Chinese principal Source: efile.fara.gov (DOJ National Security Division). v1A covers ACTIVE registrations. The registrant↔principal linkage is included; per-document filing detail and compensation figures are not — follow source_url to FARA eFile for those. Cross-source pairing pattern: FARA + get_lobbying_filings — FARA is foreign-principal representation; LDA is domestic lobbying. A firm in both is lobbying Congress on behalf of a foreign government. FARA + get_fec_contributions — foreign-agent firms whose people also make political contributions. FARA + get_congressional_trades — influence-and-trades overlay. Identifier: registration_number is the FARA registration number. has_foreign_principal=false records are registrants with no currently- active foreign principal (still queryable as registered agents). History: registrations that LEAVE DOJ's active list are kept with status:'terminated' (+ termination_observed_date) rather than deleted — a terminated registration is still real history. Default queries return BOTH; filter status:'active' for the current roster only.
