[DEPRECATED] SAM.gov US Federal Contracts Scraper — retired 2026-05-18
⚠ This Actor is no longer maintained or functional. Started 2026-05-18, retired same day after the SAM.gov free-tier API quota was found incompatible with a shared-key Apify Store model.
Why was this Actor retired?
SAM.gov's public API has a daily quota that's too restrictive for a shared-key Apify Store actor:
- New non-federal accounts: 40 calls / day
- Approved non-federal accounts: 1,000 calls / day (after approval, can take weeks)
With either limit, a single power user can exhaust the shared quota in minutes — blocking every other user for the rest of the 24-hour window. We tried a "hybrid" pattern (shared default key + optional user key) but the math doesn't work for sustainable shared-key operation.
What should you use instead?
Get a free SAM.gov API key and call the public API directly:
- Register at sam.gov (free, via Login.gov, no SSN required)
- Account Details → API Key → Generate
- Call the API:
https://api.sam.gov/opportunities/v2/search?api_key=YOUR_KEY&postedFrom=01/01/2026&postedTo=12/31/2026 - Documentation: open.gsa.gov/api/get-opportunities-public-api
With your own key, the 40/1,000 calls per day quota is yours alone — no shared bottleneck.
For EU procurement (which does NOT have this rate-limit problem because the TED API is unauthenticated), see our EU TED Tenders Scraper.
Technical note
If you run this Actor, it will exit immediately with a deprecation notice in the log. The dataset will contain a single object documenting the deprecation:
{"deprecated": true,"retiredOn": "2026-05-18","reason": "SAM.gov free-tier quota incompatible with shared-key Apify Store model","alternative": "Use the SAM.gov public API directly with your own free key","docsUrl": "https://open.gsa.gov/api/get-opportunities-public-api/"}
No further updates or builds are planned. The Actor remains published in Apify Store only because deletion is restricted for published Actors; the listing serves as a redirect notice for past users.
