Hey! I built an AI Agent to query the FOIA API for a workshop at the Hacks/Hackers Summit in Baltimore and you can do it too!
It’s a quick proof of concept to demo what agents can do, how to design workflows, and how to approach the coding side. TWant a fun project to learn how AI agents work? I built one that queries the FOIA API — and you can too!

- Colab notebook https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1iw0qZyTni_6BcK0jj1x6gTfjm85NlaGv
- Gradio app: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JournalistsonHF/foia-agent
- MCP version to plug into Claude, Cursor, etc: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JournalistsonHF/foia-mcp-tools
Feel free to use the Gradio app for real FOIA requests, but also to improve it (I'm far from being a good coder) or adapt it for other countries.
And shout-out to everyone who powered through the workshop! 😅
