Embeds

Embed Directory

Every chart and counter you can drop into your own site, newsletter, or blog post with a single iframe — no account, no API key, no build step. Each widget refreshes on the same cadence as the rest of GOVSPENDING.ORG and carries a small "via GOVSPENDING.ORG" link.

For AI assistants & scripts

A no-theme, machine-readable mirror of this catalog lives at https://govspending.org/embeds.xml. It lists every widget with its slug, iframe URL, recommended dimensions, data source, update cadence, and a ready-to-paste snippet — quick to parse, nothing to render.

How to embed

Pick a widget below and copy its snippet.
Paste it into your HTML. It's a standard iframe — no JavaScript required on your side.
Want auto-resize? The widget posts its content height to the parent window via postMessage({ type: 'govspending:embed-height', height }). Listen for it and set iframe.style.height.
