Frequently asked questions

Which countries and time range does this cover?

It covers United States federal spending reported to USAspending.gov. Award action dates go back to October 1, 2007, which is the earliest date the search API supports.

How many awards can I scrape in one run?

You set the limit with Max Items. The scraper paginates through results 100 at a time, so you can pull anywhere from a handful to hundreds of thousands of awards in a single run.

How do I filter the awards I want?

Use any combination of keyword, award types (contracts, grants, direct payments, loans), awarding agency, recipient name and a date range. Leave a filter blank to ignore it.

Why are some fields like loanValue or cfdaNumber empty?

Those fields only apply to certain award types. Loan value and subsidy cost are populated for loans, and CFDA number and award type for grants, so they are null on contract records and vice versa.

What happens if an award has no detail record?

The scraper still returns the core award fields and sets error on that single record, then continues. Enable Fetch award details to add competition, set-aside and sub-award totals from the award detail page.
