Grants.gov Scraper

Scrape U.S. federal grant and funding opportunities from Grants.gov by keyword and status — title, agency, opportunity number, dates, CFDA numbers, and detail links. Built on the official Grants.gov API: no API key or setup needed.

Search a topic like clean energy, get a clean, dated list of matching grant opportunities — ready to export to CSV, Excel, or JSON, or to power a deadline-alert monitor.

Features

• Official, reliable source — reads the public Grants.gov search API.
• Every opportunity — forecasted, posted, closed, or archived, filtered by keyword.
• Detail links — each row links straight to the opportunity page on Grants.gov.
• Monitoring-ready — schedule it on your keywords and catch new grants and deadlines as they post.

Use cases

• Grant discovery & monitoring — nonprofits, universities, and grant writers tracking new opportunities.
• Deadline alerts — schedule daily and flag opportunities closing soon.
• Consulting & research — build datasets of funding by agency, topic, or CFDA.
• B2G intelligence — see what the federal government is funding in your sector.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. Grants.gov's search API is public and free; this Actor packages it into clean, filtered rows with detail links.

Can I list everything, not just a keyword? Yes — leave keywords empty and choose the statuses you want.

Can I monitor for new grants? Yes — schedule the Actor (e.g. daily) with your keywords and oppStatuses: ["posted"].

What's a CFDA number? The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program number — useful for categorizing funding.
