## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

# README
## USAspending Scraper — Federal Awards, Contractors & Leads (Amounts, Agencies & Contacts)
Extract **complete US federal spending data from [USAspending.gov](https://www.usaspending.gov)** — search every federal **award** (contracts, grants, loans, direct payments) by keyword, agency, NAICS/PSC, recipient or location, pull the **full award detail** (recipient address, named executives, place & period of performance, classifications, obligations), and turn every **government contractor** into a ready-to-use **B2B lead** with address, UEI, business types and total federal dollars.
No login, no API key, no browser — fast JSON extraction straight from the official US government open-data API.
### Why this USAspending scraper?
Most scrapers dump a thin award list. This actor is a complete **federal market-intelligence + lead-gen engine**: it searches both **awards** and **recipients**, ships the **richest record in the category**, and enriches every contractor into a contactable lead.
| Data | Typical scrapers | This actor |
|---|---|---|
| Award ID, type, amount, agency, dates | ✅ | ✅ |
| Filter by keyword, NAICS, PSC, agency, location, amount | partial | ✅ |
| Contracts **+ IDVs + grants + loans + direct payments** | partial | ✅ all groups |
| Recipient **UEI, DUNS, registered address** | ❌ | ✅ |
| Recipient **business types** (small business, woman/veteran-owned, 8(a), HUBZone) | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Named executives + compensation** per award | ❌ | ✅ |
| Place & period of performance, NAICS/PSC descriptions | ❌ | ✅ |
| Obligations, outlays, sub-award totals | ❌ | ✅ |
| Recipient leaderboard by total federal $ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Lead score (0–100) per contractor | ❌ | ✅ |
| Monitoring — only new awards / new contractors | ❌ | ✅ |
### Use cases
- **GovCon lead generation** — federal contractors are high-value B2B buyers (and partners/subs). Export them with registered address, UEI, business-type set and total federal dollars (`leadScore`), then prospect, teaming or compete.
- **Competitive & market intelligence** — see exactly who wins what: filter awards by agency, NAICS/PSC or keyword and track award amounts, incumbents and expiring contracts (`endDate`) to time your capture.
- **Subcontracting & teaming** — find prime recipients in your NAICS and location, including their parent company and named executives, to build teaming pipelines.
- **Diversity & set-aside sourcing** — filter recipients by business type (small, woman-owned, veteran-owned, 8(a), HUBZone) for supplier-diversity and set-aside strategies.
- **Grant & funding research** — search grants, loans and direct payments by program, recipient and geography for funding intelligence.
### How to use
1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open the **USAspending Scraper**, choose a mode (**awards** or **recipients**), set your filters, and click **Start**.
3. Watch results stream into the dataset table as each record is parsed.
4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).
### Input
```json
{
"mode": "awards",
"keywords": ["cybersecurity"],
"awardCategories": ["contracts"],
"timePeriodStart": "2024-01-01",
"awardingAgencies": ["Department of Defense"],
"naicsCodes": ["541512"],
"includeAwardDetails": true,
"maxResults": 200
}
````
- **mode** — `awards` (search federal awards) or `recipients` (search contractors for lead-gen).
- **keywords** — free-text match on award descriptions, recipients and IDs (awards mode).
- **awardCategories** — `contracts`, `idvs`, `grants`, `direct_payments`, `loans`, `other` (each queried separately).
- **timePeriodStart / timePeriodEnd** — action-date range (YYYY-MM-DD).
- **awardingAgencies** — top-tier agency names, e.g. `Department of Defense`.
- **naicsCodes / pscCodes** — industry / product-service code filters (contracts & IDVs).
- **recipientSearchText / recipientLocationStates / placeOfPerformanceStates / awardAmountMin / awardAmountMax** — extra award filters.
- **includeAwardDetails** *(default false)* — enrich every award with its full detail record (recipient address, executives, classifications, obligations).
- **recipientKeywords** *(recipients mode)* — contractor names to search; leave empty to list top recipients by federal dollars.
- **includeRecipientDetails** *(default true)* — enrich every recipient with address, business types, parent company and totals.
- **maxResults** — cap of award or recipient records.
### Output
Award records (`type: "award"`) in awards mode, recipient/contractor lead records (`type: "recipient"`) in recipients mode.
A recipient lead record (`type: "recipient"`):
```json
{
"type": "recipient",
"name": "PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES INC.",
"uei": "FSY4LVSBGWB7",
"duns": "362130952",
"totalAwardAmount": 420296739.98,
"totalTransactions": 141,
"address": "19505 BISCAYNE BLVD STE 2350",
"city": "AVENTURA",
"state": "FL",
"zip": "33180",
"businessTypes": ["category_business", "other_than_small_business", "us_owned_business"],
"alternateNames": ["PALANTIR USG INC"],
"leadScore": 61,
"url": "https://www.usaspending.gov/recipient/1ea8a9a4-3726-3491-9040-66950bb67606-C/latest"
}
```
An award record (`type: "award"`) carries `awardId`, `awardCategory`, `recipientName`, `awardAmount`, `awardingAgency`/`awardingSubAgency`, `startDate`/`endDate`, `naicsCode`/`pscCode`, `placeOfPerformanceState` and `url` — and with `includeAwardDetails`, also recipient `recipientUei`/`recipientAddress`/`recipientBusinessCategories`, `executives` (name + compensation), `popCity`/`popState`, `naicsDescription`/`pscDescription`, `totalObligation`, `totalOutlay` and `subawardCount`.
Fields are `null` only when the government doesn't publish that value for a record — never because the scraper skipped them.
### Monitoring — get only new records
Turn on **monitorMode** to remember everything already returned and emit only **new** records each run:
- The actor stores seen award IDs and recipient IDs in a **named key-value store** (`monitorKey` keeps separate histories per saved search).
- On the next run, already-seen awards and contractors are skipped — you only get what's new (e.g. newly posted contracts in your NAICS, or new entrants to an agency).
- This is independent of, and works perfectly alongside, **[Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)**: the schedule triggers the run, monitoring mode dedupes the output.
### Automate & schedule
Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:
- **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
- **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** — official SDKs.
- **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** — run it daily/weekly to track new awards in your NAICS, agency or keyword.
- **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, capture workflow) the moment a run finishes.
```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/usaspending-scraper').call({
mode: 'recipients',
recipientKeywords: ['cloud', 'cybersecurity'],
includeRecipientDetails: true,
maxResults: 200,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} federal contractor leads`);
```
### Integrate with any app
Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:
- **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** — multi-step automation scenarios.
- **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** — push new contractor leads straight into your CRM.
- **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** — get notified when a monitored search finds new awards.
- **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
- **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** — pipe results into your data warehouse.
- **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** — trigger runs from commits or releases.
### Use with AI assistants (MCP)
The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** — ask your assistant to "find the top cybersecurity contractors for the Department of Defense with their addresses and total federal dollars" and let it run this scraper for you.
### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)
This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:
- **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key.
- **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.
Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

### Tips
- **Mix categories carefully**: each award category (contracts, grants, loans…) is queried separately and merged, so selecting several pulls from each — `maxResults` is the global cap.
- **Lead quality**: keep `includeRecipientDetails`/`includeAwardDetails` on to capture addresses, business types and executives — it's the difference between a name and a contactable, qualified lead.
- **Narrow big searches**: combine `naicsCodes`/`pscCodes`, `awardingAgencies` and a `timePeriodStart` to focus on your market; USAspending caps deep pagination, so filtering beats scrolling.
- **Recurring monitoring**: combine `monitorMode` + [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to capture only newly posted awards or new contractors.
- **Rate limits**: USAspending throttles heavy use — keep `maxConcurrency` modest (the default is fine).
### FAQ
**How do I find contractors in a specific industry?** Use awards mode with `naicsCodes`/`pscCodes` (and optionally an agency or keyword), or recipients mode with `recipientKeywords`. Turn on detail to get addresses and business types.
**Does it need an API key or login?** No. USAspending.gov is official US-government open data — this actor reads its public JSON API with no key, no account and no browser.
**Where does the contact/address data come from?** Directly from USAspending's public award and recipient records (registered recipient address, UEI/DUNS, business types and, for awards, the named executives the government discloses). No private data is used.
**Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel?** Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the [Google Drive integration](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive).
**How do I monitor new federal awards automatically?** Turn on `monitorMode`, create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), and optionally add a [webhook](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) — you'll get only the new records each run.
**A field is null — why?** Some awards and recipients don't publish every field (e.g. executives are only disclosed above certain thresholds). Fields are `null` only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.
**Is scraping USAspending legal?** This actor collects publicly available US-government open data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws and the site's terms.
