# SAM.gov Internal Search (`moving_beacon-owner1/sam-gov-internal-search`) Actor Scrape LSAM.gov search results using keyword queries with support for pagination, result limits, proxy rotation, and browser fingerprinting. Each result is exported to the Apify dataset with metadata, making it ideal for lead generation and research. - **URL**: https://apify.com/moving\_beacon-owner1/sam-gov-internal-search.md - **Developed by:** [Jamshaid Arif](https://apify.com/moving_beacon-owner1) (community) - **Categories:** Lead generation, Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $10.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## SAM.gov Internal Search — Apify Actor Scrapes sam.gov's ### Input | Field | Default | Notes | |------------------|---------------|--------------------------------------------------| | `query` | `construction`| Free-text search term (`q`, `qMode=ALL`) | | `status` | `active` | `active` / `inactive` | | `pageSize` | `25` | `size` param, 1–100 | | `startPage` | `0` | Zero-based start page | | `maxPages` | `1` | Pages to fetch | | `maxResults` | `0` | Hard row cap (0 = bounded only by `maxPages`) | | `impersonate` | `chrome` | curl_cffi fingerprint | | `minInterval` | `1` | Min seconds between page requests | | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify residential | Strongly recommended for more than a page or two | ### Behaviour - Fetches `maxPages` pages, rotating the proxy IP per page (one `session_id` each). - Each row is pushed to th ```e default dataset with `_page` and `_query` added. - Stops early on an empty page, a bot-wall (`BlockedError`), or `maxResults`. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Free-text search term sent to sam.gov's internal search (q / qMode=ALL). ## `status` (type: `string`): Whether to return only active opportunities. ## `pageSize` (type: `integer`): Page size sent to the API (the size param). ## `startPage` (type: `integer`): Zero-based page index to start from. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many pages to fetch before stopping. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on rows pushed (0 = no cap beyond maxPages). ## `impersonate` (type: `string`): curl_cffi impersonate target. Use chrome unless you hit a wall. ## `minInterval` (type: `integer`): Rate limit: minimum delay between page requests. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy. Residential is recommended for sam.gov. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "construction", "status": "active", "pageSize": 25, "startPage": 0, "maxPages": 1, "maxResults": 0, "impersonate": "chrome", "minInterval": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/sam-gov-internal-search").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
