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). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## USAspending Federal Awards Tracker — Contracts & Grants Pull recent federal contract & grant awards from **USAspending.gov**. Filter by award type, awarding agency, recipient name, PSC/NAICS code, place-of-performance state, or description keyword. One clean row per award. Built **for cron** (daily/weekly digest of new awards matching your watch) and ad-hoc opportunity scouting. No auth — pure USAspending v2 API. ### Inputs ```json { "sinceDays": 7, "awardTypeCodes": ["A", "B", "C", "D"], "keywords": ["cybersecurity"], "agencyNames": ["Department of Defense"], "stateCodes": ["CA", "VA"], "maxResults": 500 } ```` | input | default | notes | |---|---|---| | `sinceDays` | `7` | `Start Date >= now - sinceDays`. Use `1` for daily cron. | | `awardTypeCodes` | `["A","B","C","D"]` (contracts) | Federal award type codes. Grants = 02-05, IDV = `IDV_A..IDV_E`, Loans = 07-08. | | `keywords` | — | Free-text words to search in the description. Optional. | | `agencyNames` | — | Top-tier awarding agency names. Optional. | | `recipientNames` | — | Recipient substring filters. Optional. | | `pscCodes` | — | 4-char Product Service Codes. E.g. `D310` for IT/telecom. | | `naicsCodes` | — | 6-digit NAICS codes. E.g. `541512` for computer systems design. | | `stateCodes` | — | 2-letter US state codes for place of performance. | | `maxResults` | `1000` | Hard cap. | ### Output One row per award: | field | example | |---|---| | awardId | `W912P926FA114` | | internalId | `358614417` | | detailUrl | `https://www.usaspending.gov/award/358614417` | | recipientName | `PARAGON PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LLC` | | recipientUei | `XK9CYZL8MTR5` | | awardAmount | `12832704.92` (USD) | | description | `EPA R7 SEMO 2026 REMEDIATION SEASON TASK ORDER` | | awardingAgency | `Department of Defense` | | awardingSubAgency | `Department of the Army` | | actionDate | `2026-05-22` (latest modification date) | | startDate | `2026-05-22` | | endDate | `2027-05-21` | | pscCode | `R425` (when populated) | | naicsCode | `541330` (when populated) | | placeOfPerformanceState | `MO` | | placeOfPerformanceCountry | `USA` | ### Daily cron pattern ```json { "sinceDays": 1, "agencyNames": ["Department of Defense"], "stateCodes": ["VA","MD","DC"] } ``` Run every morning to capture yesterday's new DoD awards in the National Capital Region. ### Real-world questions this answers - **Federal contractor BD.** What new awards just dropped at my target agency in my PSC? - **Recipient watch.** What's Lockheed / Palantir / Booz Allen winning right now? - **Regional economic dev.** Federal spending hitting my state this quarter? - **Investigative journalism.** Track awards by company / topic / agency over a window. ### What it doesn't do - No award-history time series — one snapshot per run. Diff downstream if needed. - No sub-award data (`subawards: false` fixed). The sub-award endpoint differs. - No transaction-level history — one row per award, not per modification. ### Maintained by [vøiddo studio](https://voiddo.com) — small independent shop. # Actor input Schema ## `sinceDays` (type: `integer`): Awards whose Start Date falls in the last N days. Use 1 for a daily cron. ## `awardTypeCodes` (type: `array`): Federal award type codes. Defaults to contracts (A=BPA, B=PO, C=DO, D=Definitive Contract). Grants: 02, 03, 04, 05. Loans: 07, 08. IDV: IDV\_A..IDV\_E. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Optional free-text filter. Awards whose description contains any of these words. Examples: \["cybersecurity", "AI"]. ## `agencyNames` (type: `array`): Optional list of awarding agency names. Examples: "Department of Defense", "Department of Health and Human Services", "National Aeronautics and Space Administration". ## `recipientNames` (type: `array`): Optional list of recipient company names. Substring match. Example: \["Lockheed", "Palantir"]. ## `pscCodes` (type: `array`): Optional list of 4-char PSC codes.
