US Government Data

Five US federal data sources behind one key and one JSON schema, so your agent makes one integration instead of four.

What it does

• get_opportunities — open federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov, filtered by NAICS, set-aside, state or procurement type
• get_awards — federal awards from USAspending: contracts, grants, loans and direct payments, by agency, recipient or keyword
• get_grants — Grants.gov funding opportunities, by agency, category or Assistance Listing (CFDA) number
• get_congress / get_congress_ticker — US House STOCK Act stock trades, overall or for one ticker

Why it exists

All of this data is free and public. Each source also ships its own friction. SAM.gov takes ncode where you would expect naics and silently ignores unknown filters, so a filtered query returns a clean-looking unfiltered result; its dates are MM/dd/yyyy rather than ISO, and the posted window caps at a year. USAspending reports no further pages at record 10,000 while real rows continue to 50,000, so a client trusting that flag truncates without an error. This skill absorbs all of it and returns one shape.

Limits, stated plainly

• Federal only. No state or local (SLED) procurement.
• Congressional trades are US House only, lag up to 45 days by law, and report dollar ranges rather than exact amounts.
• USAspending search does not reach before 2007-10-01.
• Freshness follows each government source's own cadence; nothing is held or restated.

Pure Python standard library, no dependencies. The API key is read from an environment variable and the base URL is hardcoded, so the key never reaches any other host.
