Federal grants list

Returns a flat federal grants list from the official Grants.gov search2 API — opportunity ID/number, title, agency code/name, open and close dates, status, doc type, and ALN/CFDA — without a browser scrape.

Government grants list 2026

Filter by status (posted, forecasted, or both), postedWithinDays, and open/close date ranges to pull the current government grants list for 2026 planning. Set maxItems to cap the export.

Grants gov award search

This Actor searches opportunities (FOAs), not awards. For who won and how much, use the sister Actor usaspending-awards-scraper. Every opportunity row here carries detailUrl back to the Grants.gov notice.

Federal funding list

Keyword (keyword) and agency (agency, e.g. NSF, EPA, HHS) filters produce a federal funding list you can schedule or pipe into a CRM. Optional fetchDetails hydrates synopsis / funding instrument when you need more than the search2 row.

FAQ

Do I need a grants.gov api key?

No. The public search2 / fetchOpportunity endpoints used here need no API key and no login.

What is Grants.gov search?

Grants.gov is the US federal portal for grant opportunities. This Actor calls its public search2 API and returns flat JSON rows (FOA metadata).

How do I search by agency or keyword?

Set keyword and/or agency, optionally status, postedWithinDays, and date filters, then run. Results land in the default dataset.

Is eligibility included?

Not in the current schema. Eligibility text is a declared gap — open each row's detailUrl on Grants.gov for eligibility until the field is added. When fetchDetails=true, synopsis / funding instrument may be present, still not a structured eligibility object.

Posted within vs open/close dates?

postedWithinDays is a server lookback on posted date. openDateFrom/To and closeDateFrom/To filter client-side after fetch.

Forecasted vs posted?

Use status — e.g. posted or forecasted|posted (default).

Is this affiliated with HHS / Grants.gov?

No. Required notice: this product uses the Grants.gov API but is not endorsed or certified by HHS. Cite Grants.gov as the source.
