Inputs

Field	Type	Req	Default	Description
`naicsCodes`	array	no	`["541512"]`	Industry codes to match (e.g. '541512'). Leave empty to match any industry.
`keyword`	string	no	—	Free-text match on the opportunity title (e.g. 'cybersecurity').
`keywords`	array	no	`[]`	Look up many in ONE run instead of starting a run per lookup. Takes the same values as 'Title keyword'. Combined with 'Title keyword' if you fill both, and duplicates are removed. Billing is unchanged: you are charged per record returned, not per entry submitted.
`agency`	string	no	—	Buying department name (e.g. 'GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION').
`setAside`	string	no	—	Set-aside code, e.g. SBA (small business), 8A, WOSB, SDVOSBC. Leave empty for all.
`lookbackDays`	integer	no	`1`	Fetch opportunities posted within this many days. Every run returns everything in the window that matches, so a wide window on a frequent schedule returns the same notices again.
`maxResults`	integer	no	`100`	Cap on opportunities fetched per run.
`samGovApiKey`	string	no	—	Optional. Leave blank to use the shared key that ships with this actor - fine for trying it out, but that key has a low DAILY quota shared by every user of this actor, so once it is spent no one gets results until 00:00 UTC. Paste your own key (free and instant from sam.gov -> Account Details -> API Key) to get your own quota and reliable runs. Your key is used only for your run and is never stored.

Pricing

Pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs.
Example: 50 opportunities returned at $0.01/result ≈ $0.50.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The official GSA Get Opportunities (SAM.gov) public API.

Does each run only return new opportunities?

No — each run returns the current opportunities matching your filters within your lookback window. Use a short lookbackDays (e.g. 1) on a daily schedule to keep results focused on recent postings.

Can I get email or Slack alerts?

Yes — schedule the actor and connect Apify's native email/Slack/webhook integrations to new dataset items.

Can I filter by contract value?

Not reliably — SAM.gov only publishes a dollar amount on awarded notices, not open solicitations, so value filtering isn't offered.

How am I charged?

Per opportunity returned. Runs that return no matches are free.
