POST
Given a bank’s name or its FDIC certificate number, return the matching institutions insured by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each has its name, certificate number, whether it is currently open and insured, city and state, primary federal regulator, charter class code, the date it was established, its website, and its total assets and total deposits in US dollars as of the reporting date. Use it to check that a bank is real, insured and still open. Give exactly one of name and fdic_certificate. A name is a text match, so similarly named banks come back too, best match first: tell them apart by the certificate number on each row, and prefer the certificate number when you have it, since it is an exact match. Closed institutions are included, with active false. total is the number of institutions that matched, which may be more than limit. No match is a completed result with total 0 and an empty list. Credit unions are not included.
