Data Source

All data comes from the USASpending.gov API — the official US government open data platform mandated by the DATA Act. The API is completely free and requires no API key or registration.

FAQs

Is an API key required? No. The USASpending.gov API is completely free and publicly accessible with no authentication required.

How current is the data? USASpending.gov data is typically updated daily. Award data usually reflects transactions within 30 days of occurrence.

What is the total amount of federal spending tracked? USASpending.gov tracks over $6 trillion in annual federal spending across all executive branch agencies.

What does searchAwards search by default? When no awardTypes is specified, the actor searches contracts (the most common and reliably populated award type). To search grants, set awardTypes to grants.

Can I search for education grants specifically? Yes — set mode=searchAwards, searchQuery=education, awardTypes=grants to find education grants.

What date range should I use? Federal fiscal years run October 1 to September 30. For FY2024 data: startDate=2023-10-01, endDate=2024-09-30.
