USASpending GovCon Awards & Grants Scraper

USASpending GovCon Awards & Grants Scraper — a fast, reliable usaspending scraper that needs no API key. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free.

What this scraper does

Run it as a monitor (alerts on new usaspending)

Schedule this usaspending scraper to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule — with the built-in Apify Scheduler, and have results pushed to you by webhook, email, Slack, or your own app the moment they're ready. It's the easiest way to monitor usaspending for changes over time and get alerted the instant something new appears — no manual runs. Because pricing is per result, a scheduled monitor only ever charges you for the data each run actually returns.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing at $0.0006 per record. There is no monthly fee and no start fee — and empty or failed runs cost $0, so you only ever pay for data you actually receive.
