Register at SAM.gov 2. Request API access in your profile 3. Add key to input as sam_api_key Without an API key, the actor uses USA Spending data which provides award information but limited opportunity details. ## Tips for Best Results 1. Use specific NAICS codes: More targeted results than broad keywords 2. Combine filters: NAICS + keywords + set-aside for best matches 3. Check deadlines: Focus on deadline_within_days for actionable opportunities 4. Track awards: Understand pricing and competition 5. Run regularly: Government posts new opportunities daily ## Cost Estimation - Compute: ~$0.01-0.02 per run - No API costs: Uses free government APIs - Storage: ~$0.0001 per opportunity ## Limitations - SAM.gov API key required for full functionality - State portal scraping not yet implemented - Historical data limited to 365 days - Some opportunity details require SAM.gov login to view ## Support - SAM.gov Help - USA Spending API - Apify Documentation
