Grants.gov federal funding notices with watch-term digests

This Actor queries the official Grants.gov opportunity API for bounded feeds (keywords, agencies, eligibility) and emits source-linked funding digest rows. It is a Grants.gov notice watcher, not a TED/SAM.gov bid queue.

Not TED, SAM.gov, or USASpending award monitoring. Not NIH RePORTER awards. Not grant-writing or award-probability advice.

from $8.00 / 1,000 Grants.gov funding digest ($0.008 per delivered apify-default-dataset-item). No Actor Start. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.

Use cases

How is Grants.gov Scraper different from TED, SAM.gov & Grants Bid Alerts and NIH RePORTER Funding Landscape Report?

Grants.gov Scraper (taroyamada/grants-gov-funding-digest): This Actor queries the official Grants.gov opportunity API for bounded feeds (keywords, agencies, eligibility) and emits source-linked funding digest rows. It is a Grants.gov notice watcher, not a TED/SAM.gov bid queue. Not TED, SAM.gov, or USASpending award monitoring. Not NIH RePORTER awards. Not grant-writing or award-probability advice. TED, SAM.gov & Grants Bid Alerts is for Procurement notices (input keywords / jurisdictions; SAM/TED/Grants.gov; opportunity rows). Not FDA/NHTSA/CPSC recalls or SEC filings. NIH RePORTER Funding Landscape Report is for NIH awards (input org/term filters; NIH RePORTER; award rows). Not Grants.gov opportunity notices. Government Contract Award Change Report is for Awarded contracts (input award watches; TED/USASpending; award-change rows). Not Grants.gov pre-award notices.

What input is required?

Live required fields: feeds. Published exampleRunInput is shown below. Quickstart: set feeds with at least one entry and one filter (agencies, fundingCategories, or keyword)

Field Type Default Notes
feeds object[] required empty required Funding feeds to monitor (required). One entry per watch target. Each feed produces one digest row. At minimum, set id, name, and at least one filter (agencies, fundingCategories, or keyword). No API key required. Each item supports id, name, keyword, agencies, fundingCategories, fundingInstruments, oppStatuses, minAwardCeiling.
watchTerms string empty Watch terms — keywords to flag in opportunity titles and synopses (comma-separated). Terms to flag in opportunity titles and synopses. Any opportunity matching a watch term receives a watch_term_hit signal tag and appears in the digest's watchTermHits section.
lookbackDays integer 14 Opportunity lookback window (days). Include opportunities opened within this many days. Keep short (14–30) for recurring runs; widen for initial discovery. min=1 max=365
maxOpportunitiesPerFeed integer 50 Max opportunities per feed. Upper bound on opportunities fetched per feed per run. min=1 max=500
minAwardCeiling number 0 Global minimum award ceiling (USD). Skip opportunities with award ceiling below this value. Applied globally unless overridden per feed. Set 0 to include all. min=0
closingSoonDays integer 14 Closing-soon threshold (days). Opportunities closing within this many days receive a closing_soon signal tag. min=1 max=90
highValueThreshold number 1000000 High-value award ceiling threshold (USD). Opportunities with awardCeiling >= this value receive a high_value signal tag. min=0
delivery string enum dataset Delivery mode. dataset stores results in the Apify dataset. webhook posts the digest JSON to webhookUrl. enum: dataset, webhook
webhookUrl string empty Webhook URL (required when delivery=webhook). POST target for funding digest payload. Leave empty for dataset delivery.
datasetMode string enum all Dataset output mode. all emits every feed digest row. action_needed emits only feeds with new or closing-soon opportunities. new_only emits only feeds with opportunities not seen in the previous run. enum: all, action_needed, new_only
snapshotKey string grants-funding-digest-state Snapshot key for recurring state. Stable key used to persist seen opportunity IDs across recurring runs.
grantsGovApiUrl string https://api.grants.gov/v1/api/search2 Grants.gov search2 API URL. Grants.gov legacy search2 endpoint. No API key required.
requestTimeoutSeconds integer 30 HTTP request timeout (seconds). Timeout for each API request. min=5 max=120
notifyOnNoNew boolean true Emit digest even when no new opportunities found. When true, every feed always produces a digest row even if no new opportunities were found.
dryRun boolean false Dry run (skip snapshot writes and webhook delivery). Validate and fetch without persisting state or posting webhooks. Safe for testing input shapes.
nowIso string empty Override current time (ISO string, for testing). Set to a fixed ISO timestamp to make runs deterministic against fixture data.
grantsGovFixturePath string empty Grants.gov fixture file path (testing). Local JSON fixture for offline Grants.gov tests.

Run Grants.gov Scraper on Apify

How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?

delivery defaults to dataset on the live schema. Dataset output is the billable surface when rows are written. webhookUrl is used when delivery is webhook (and typically not during dryRun). dryRun true validates or samples without the usual dataset/webhook side effects described on the Store schema. datasetMode can limit emits to changes_only / changed_only / action_needed versus all. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.

How is Grants.gov Scraper priced?

Billing is pay per event. The live Store card is from $8.00 / 1,000 Grants.gov funding digest ($0.008 per delivered apify-default-dataset-item). No Actor Start. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE. Current PPE:

Event Price Emitted when
apify-default-dataset-item (Grants.gov funding digest) $0.008 Charged only for one delivered Grants.gov funding opportunity digest row.

The published README Cost block is stale versus the live Store pricing tab. README Cost still quotes actor-start $0.01. README Cost quotes dataset-item $0.003; live primary is $0.008 (Grants.gov funding digest). Live: Grants.gov funding digest $0.008. This page quotes live PPE only.

from $8.00 / 1,000 Grants.gov funding digest ($0.008 per delivered apify-default-dataset-item). No Actor Start. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.
