EventDescriptionPrice
API RequestEach Data.gov API request processed$0.01

Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.

Troubleshooting

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

  • Invalid input format (check the examples above)
  • The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
