FAQ

Do I need an API key? No.

Why is postedWithinDays rounded? Grants.gov only supports fixed windows (3, 7, 14, 21 ... 56 days), so values are rounded up.

Why are funding amounts empty for some rows? Agencies don't always publish them, especially for forecasts. Set includeDetails: false for a faster run without details.

Do forecasts count? Yes. By default both forecasted and posted opportunities are returned; a forecast that becomes posted is flagged as new.

Are contact details included? No, agency contact names, emails and phones are removed.

Is this affiliated with Grants.gov? No, it uses the public Grants.gov API.
