US Grants Scraper (Grants.gov)

Find U.S. federal grant opportunities from Grants.gov with full details in one row: title, agency, status, posted and close dates, award ceiling and floor, total funding, expected number of awards, eligible applicants, description and the agency contact.

What you can use it for

• Grant writers and consultants: a daily list of new opportunities for your clients.
• Nonprofits, universities and small businesses: find funding you are eligible for.
• Newsletters and grant databases: keep your listings fresh automatically.

How it works

The actor uses the public Grants.gov search API, then fetches each opportunity's detail record for funding amounts, eligibility and contacts.

Input example

{
  "keyword": "small business",
  "statuses": [
    "posted"
  ],
  "postedWithinDays": 14,
  "eligibilities": [
    "23"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Every option is described in the Input tab. Set Max results to control how much you pay for.
