# SAM.gov sources sought notices this week (no API key)

**Use case:** 

The newest SAM.gov Sources Sought notices posted in the last 7 days (up to 200 per run, newest first), filtered by notice type on every row: agency, NAICS, set-aside, response deadline and link. No SAM.gov API key, no 10-requests-a-day limit. Add NAICS codes to narrow it or raise the limit.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/yourevenings/us-gov-opportunities.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
