DoD Vendor Vendor Fetcher

This Python script fetches and displays Department of Defense (DoD) vendors with contracts over $25,000 USD from the USASpending API in a colorful command-line interface (CLI). It retrieves data live, page by page, up to 50 pages (5,000 vendors), with 100 vendors per page.

Features

• Fetches vendor data (name, award amount, award ID) in real-time.
• Filters awards to ensure they exceed $25,000 USD.
• Displays vendors with vibrant colors using colorama.
• Paginates through 50 pages with user input ('n' for next, 'q' to quit).

Usage

Run the script:

python3 dod_vendors.py

Follow the prompts:

n: Fetch the next page of vendors.
q: Quit the script.
The script stops automatically after page 50 (5,000 vendors).

This is what the results should look like when running it:
