Grants.gov Scraper - Federal Grants
Pricing
from $1.40 / 1,000 opportunities
Grants.gov search returns a title, an agency and a date. Award size, whether you must match funds, and who may actually apply live on a second endpoint that nothing on the store joins up. This does, and its deadline radar correctly excludes forecasts, which have no closing date yet by design.
type
Optional
opportunity, closing_soon or agency_summary. A closing_soon row is an opportunity row repeated so the deadline list can be read on its own.
opportunityId
Optional
Grants.gov internal opportunity id.
opportunityNumber
Optional
The agency's own opportunity number, e.g. MP-CPI-25-001.
title
Optional
Opportunity title.
agency
Optional
Awarding agency or office.
agencyCode
Optional
Grants.gov agency code, e.g. HHS-NIH.
status
Optional
posted, forecasted, closed or archived.
isForecast
Optional
An announcement that a programme is coming. It has no deadline yet, which is exactly why it is the early warning a competitor watching only posted opportunities will miss.
openDate
Optional
ISO date the opportunity opened. Grants.gov serves MM/DD/YYYY; this is converted.
closeDate
Optional
ISO application deadline, or null when there is none yet.
daysUntilClose
Optional
Days from the run date to the deadline. Negative means closed. Null when there is no deadline — a forecast has an empty closeDate, and treating that as today would put every forecast at the top of a closing-soon list.
isClosingSoon
Optional
The deadline falls inside the window you set.
isClosed
Optional
The deadline has passed.
hasNoDeadlineYet
Optional
No closing date published. Normal on a forecast, and distinct from a missing value.
cfdaNumbers
Optional
Assistance Listing (CFDA) numbers, the join key to USAspending award data.
opportunityUrl
Optional
Link to the opportunity on grants.gov.
awardCeiling
Optional
Largest single award, in USD, and the most reliable size signal available: present on about 80% of opportunities. Grants.gov returns the literal string "none" when absent, which parses to NaN if taken at face value — resolved to null here.
awardFloor
Optional
Smallest single award, in USD. Same "none" handling.
estimatedTotalFunding
Optional
Total programme funding advertised, in USD.
expectedNumberOfAwards
Optional
How many awards the agency expects to make. Effectively never published — 0 of 66 sampled opportunities carried it.
averageAwardValue
Optional
Estimated total funding divided by expected awards. MEASURED 2026-08-16 across 39 agencies: expectedNumberOfAwards was populated on 0 of 66 opportunities, so this is null in practice. Kept because it will populate if agencies start filing the field. Use awardCeiling and awardFloor instead.
requiresCostSharing
Optional
You must put up matching funds. For a small applicant this single flag decides whether the programme is reachable at all, and it is buried on the second endpoint.
applicantTypes
Optional
Who may apply, in plain English rather than the numeric codes the search filter uses.
eligibilitySummary
Optional
The agency's own eligibility narrative, which often narrows the applicant types further.
fundingCategories
Optional
Activity categories, e.g. Health, Education.
fundingInstruments
Optional
Grant, cooperative agreement, procurement contract or other.
description
Optional
Full opportunity synopsis.
agencyContactName
Optional
Named programme contact.
agencyContactEmail
Optional
Contact email — the person to ask before writing the application.
responseDate
Optional
ISO application deadline from the detail record, which is authoritative over the search result.
postingDate
Optional
ISO date the opportunity was posted.
isEnriched
Optional
The award economics were fetched for this row. False means the fields above are absent because they were not requested or the cap was reached, not because the agency withheld them.
opportunities
Optional
Agency rows: opportunities in this slice.
forecasts
Optional
Agency rows: how many are forecasts rather than open.
closingSoon
Optional
Agency rows: how many close inside the window.
soonestCloseDate
Optional
Agency rows: the next deadline at this agency.
totalFundingAdvertised
Optional
Agency rows: sum of estimated funding across enriched opportunities.
opportunitiesWithAwardRange
Optional
Agency rows: how many of this agency’s opportunities published an award ceiling, so the medians below can be judged against their sample size.
medianAwardCeiling
Optional
Agency rows: typical largest-award size at this agency. Median rather than mean, so one huge programme cannot distort it.
largestAwardCeiling
Optional
Agency rows: biggest single award on offer across this agency’s programmes.
topApplicantTypes
Optional
Agency rows: who this agency most often funds, with counts.
topFundingCategories
Optional
Agency rows: what it most often funds, with counts.
