Federal Grants Search: Grants.gov + USAspending Awards

Federal Grants Search: Grants.gov Opportunities + USAspending Awards API Scraper

Search open federal grant opportunities from Grants.gov and past federal awards from USAspending.gov in a single run. You get one clean, normalized row per record, ready for CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets or your CRM. You don't need an API key.

What it does

• Searches Grants.gov opportunities (forecasted, posted, closed, archived) by keyword and agency.
• Searches USAspending.gov awards (grants, contracts, loans, direct payments, other) by keyword, awarding agency and date range.
• Normalizes both sources to one schema: source, recordType, id, title, agency, agencyCode, subAgency, recipientName, amount, status, docType, postedDate, closeDate, startDate, endDate, cfdaNumbers, description, url, matchedKeyword, scrapedAt.
• De-duplicates records across keywords.
• Privacy: it excludes awards made to individuals. Only business, nonprofit, higher-education, government and international recipient types are queried, and redacted or aggregated individual recipients are dropped.
• No Dun & Bradstreet data: it doesn't request DUNS or other D&B fields, and it masks DUNS/UEI numbers inside description text.
