Frequently Asked Questions

Which grants does this cover?
It covers every funding opportunity published on Grants.gov, the official catalog for all U.S. federal grant-making agencies. You can pull currently posted (open) opportunities, upcoming forecasted ones, and closed or archived records, filtered by keyword, agency, eligibility, funding category and Assistance Listing Number.

How do I find all open grants for a topic like clean energy or rural health?
Enter the topic as a keyword and set the status to posted. The scraper returns every matching open opportunity with its agency, close date and award amounts, so you can build a shortlist in one run.

Can I filter by who is allowed to apply?
Yes. Use the eligibilities filter to keep only opportunities open to your organization type, such as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, public institutions of higher education, small businesses, state or local governments, or Native American tribal governments.

Do I need an API key or token?
No. Grants.gov publishes an open public API that needs no key, account or token. Every field comes from that official public source.

Do I need a proxy to run this?
No. The Grants.gov API is globally accessible and responds from standard datacenter connections, so runs work out of the box without any proxy configuration.
