FAQ

Does it need a SAM.gov API key or login? No. SAM.gov's official public API caps unauthenticated keys at 10 requests per day, whereas this scraper reads SAM.gov's public opportunity endpoints directly with no API key and no daily cap.

How fast is it? Usually about 25 opportunities in 6 to 10 seconds, and 1,000 opportunities in 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off includeAttachments if you only need notice details and contacts for even faster runs.

How does the price compare? Other SAM.gov scrapers on Apify charge $2.50 to $3.00 per 1,000 results (often with a per-run start fee) or fail on 85%+ of runs. This scraper costs $1.50 per 1,000 results with $0 start fee and runs on 256 MB memory.

Copy-Paste Scheduled Automation (Python / n8n / cURL)

Automate daily or weekly data feeds into your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, Google Sheets, or Slack) in under 60 seconds:

1. cURL (REST API — Instant JSON / CSV Export)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/mystique-lab~sam-gov-contracts-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&format=json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"naicsCodes": ["541511", "541512"], "activeOnly": true, "includeAttachments": true, "maxResults": 100}'

(Tip: Change format=json to format=csv or format=xlsx to download a spreadsheet directly.)

2. Python (apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("mystique-lab/sam-gov-contracts-scraper").call(
    run_input={"naicsCodes": ["541511", "541512"], "activeOnly": true, "includeAttachments": true, "maxResults": 100}
)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

3. n8n / Make.com / Zapier (Daily Cron Webhook)

1. Add a Schedule Trigger node (e.g., every morning at 07:00 AM).
2. Add an HTTP Request node:
   • Method: POST
   • URL: https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/mystique-lab~sam-gov-contracts-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN
   • Body (JSON): {"naicsCodes": ["541511", "541512"], "activeOnly": true, "includeAttachments": true, "maxResults": 100}
3. Pipe the returned JSON array directly into HubSpot, Clay, Instantly.ai, Smartlead, Airtable, or Google Sheets.
