US Federal Grants Scraper (Grants.gov)

US Federal Grants Scraper (Grants.gov) pulls structured data from Grants.gov and returns it as a clean dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. It searches the free Grants.gov API by keyword and returns each opportunity with its number, agency, open and close dates, status and CFDA (assistance listing) numbers, plus a link to the full notice. Useful for grant consultants, nonprofits and bid teams watching for new funding.

No API key, no login. Click Start and it works with the prefilled input.

What does US Federal Grants Scraper (Grants.gov) do?

It queries Grants.gov and returns one row per record, with only the fields that matter. Runs on the Apify platform, so you get an API endpoint, scheduling, monitoring and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks) without maintaining any infrastructure.

Why use it?

• Grants.gov data without the plumbing: no proxy setup, no pagination code, no scraping maintenance.
• Schedule it to monitor changes daily or weekly and trigger alerts on new records.
• Feed it straight into a spreadsheet, database, or an AI agent via the Apify API or MCP server.
• Runs in seconds and returns a typed dataset that is ready for analysis.

How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per result item pushed to the dataset, and nothing for an empty run. Each run is a few seconds of compute, so typical costs are fractions of a cent per run, and the Apify free tier covers plenty of testing.

Tips and advanced options

• Raise maxResults for a bigger pull; the Actor pages through the source for you.
• Schedule it (e.g. every morning) and combine with a webhook to get only the new records.
• Add the Actor to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server for natural-language queries.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

• Is this legal? It uses publicly available data from Grants.gov. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the source's terms.
• It returned nothing? Try a broader keyword such as "health", "climate" or "education".
• Something broken? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Data sources change and get fixed quickly.
• Need a custom variant (extra fields, a different source, a scheduled report)? Get in touch through the Issues tab.
