FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. This actor uses SAM.gov's public search interface. No registration or API key is required.

How recent is the data? The actor queries the live SAM.gov Opportunities API on each run. Results reflect the current state of the SAM.gov database at the time of the run, including newly posted notices.

Can I pull historical data? Yes. Use the postedFrom and postedTo parameters to search any date range. SAM.gov retains historical notices, so you can pull awards and solicitations from prior periods.

What is the difference between a Solicitation and an Award notice? A Solicitation (type o) is an active request for proposals or quotes -- it has a response deadline and is accepting bids. An Award notice (type a) documents a contract that has already been awarded, including the awardee and dollar amount.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run this actor daily or weekly and automatically capture new opportunities as they are posted.

What are set-asides? Set-asides are contract opportunities reserved for specific categories of businesses: small businesses, 8(a)-certified firms, HUBZone companies, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOSBs), and women-owned small businesses (WOSBs). Use the setAside filter to see only opportunities your firm is eligible to bid on.
