SAM.gov & Grants.gov Scraper: Federal Contracts & Grants Monitor

First 25 results of every run are free. You pay only for opportunities beyond the first 25 in a run.

Find and monitor new US federal funding in one feed, a SAM.gov contract opportunities scraper and Grants.gov federal grants scraper in one Actor: grants from Grants.gov and contract opportunities (RFPs, RFQs, sources sought) from SAM.gov — filtered by keyword, NAICS, assistance listing (CFDA), agency and posting date, normalized into one clean schema.

Turn on Only new and schedule it daily: each run returns only opportunities you haven't seen yet — a ready-made alert feed for Slack, email, Google Sheets, Zapier or Make.

Why use this SAM.gov and Grants.gov scraper

• Two sources, one schema — grants and contracts side by side (source, id, title, agency, NAICS / CFDA, posted, deadline, award ceiling/floor, set-aside, link, contact, description).
• Official APIs only — Grants.gov public API (no key) and the SAM.gov Opportunities API v2 (your free key). No scraping, no login, no proxies.
• Monitor mode — de-duplicates across runs in a named key-value store.
• Rich grant details — award ceiling/floor, estimated funding, agency contact and a cleaned description snippet.
• Predictable cost — pay only per opportunity delivered; respects your max-charge limit.

Input

Field	Notes
keywords	List of search terms (each searched separately, merged and de-duplicated).
titleMustContain	Optional. Keep only records whose title contains at least one of these terms (case-insensitive), for both sources. Cuts loose keyword matches.
sources	grants (default), sam.
naicsCodes	SAM.gov only, e.g. 541512.
cfdaNumbers	Grants.gov only, e.g. 47.076.
agency	Grants.gov agency code (e.g. NSF, HHS-NIH11) / SAM.gov organization name.
postedSince	YYYY-MM-DD or 7 days, 2 weeks. Default 7 days. SAM.gov max range is 1 year.
samApiKey	Your SAM.gov public API key (secret). Without it SAM.gov is skipped with a clear message.
onlyNew	Monitor mode.
maxItems	Cap on output (and charges).

Getting a SAM.gov key (free)

Sign in at sam.gov → Profile → Account Details → Public API Key. Note SAM.gov limits personal keys for non-federal users without a SAM.gov role to 10 requests/day (1,000/day with a role). One request returns up to 1,000 notices, so a daily monitor with a few keywords fits easily.

Use cases

Grant writers and nonprofits, university research offices, GovCon BD teams, small businesses tracking set-asides, consultants building client alert feeds.

Pricing

Pay per event: $2.50 per 1,000 opportunities delivered ($0.0025 each). No charge for skipped (already-seen) items. The first 25 results of every run are free (no charge events for them).

Limitations

• Grants.gov: forecasted + posted opportunities. Grants.gov has no NAICS; SAM.gov has no CFDA.
• SAM.gov full description text is behind a link that costs an extra API call; we return the notice link instead to save your quota.
• Data is as published by the agencies; this Actor is not affiliated with GSA, SAM.gov or Grants.gov.
