Endpoint
GET /api/v1/cus/ Parameters
| Name | Required | Description |

| q | optional | Name or NCUA charter number, case-insensitive. Matches any part of the legal name; when that finds nothing, falls back to the site's name matcher, which forgives punctuation, spacing and common abbreviations. e.g. navy federal |
| state | optional | Two-letter state filter. e.g. GA |
| limit | optional | string |

} When to use it
Credit Union Directory sits in the Credit Unions group of the Data API. Reach for it when your work needs this data straight from the API: it comes back as JSON you can load into a notebook, a spreadsheet or a scheduled pipeline, with the dataset key credit_unions naming it the same way in the REST path, the Python SDK and the OpenAPI document.
Access and authentication
This dataset is in the Public tier. Send your API token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token, using a GET request to the endpoint above. The Free plan is the first plan that includes it.
