FAQ
Where does the data come from? USAspending.gov, the US Treasury's public spending database.
How fresh is it? Agencies report on a lag, so very recent awards may be missing.
Can I find a company's awards? Yes, use recipientName.
Is it legal?
The actor reads public, open-licence or government data only and does not collect private information. You are responsible for using the results in line with the source's terms and applicable laws.
Use it with AI agents (MCP)
This actor is agent-ready: it is a plain tool with a documented JSON input and a flat JSON output, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents can call it through the Apify MCP server.
Add it to an MCP client with this URL (Apify account or agentic payment required):
https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=flyingnimbus/federal-contract-awards
Example prompt: "Use the US Federal Contracts & Grants (USAspending) tool with the example input below and summarise the results."
Calls are pay per event ($0.002 per award), so an agent can estimate the cost before it runs. Empty or failed lookups return a status record instead of failing the run.
