Government data APIs

Curated government data,
delivered by API.

GovBiz collects and organizes public federal records. Query them from your application, script, spreadsheet, automation, or AI tool.

An API lets your software request records over the web. Results include structured fields, source links, and coverage you can check.

No card required. Paid API plans start at $49/month.

NAICS is an industry code. JSON is the text format used for API results.

Source links open the original SAM.gov notices. Check them for current deadlines.

How it works

From public records to your tools.

01

Choose your data

Review the datasets, fields, filters, and source coverage.

02

Make a request

Use an API key to call the web API. Supported AI tools can also use MCP, an interface for calling data tools.

03

Use the results

Build tables, applications, and reports with the returned records and source links.

Public sources → GovBiz curated data → Your tools

Spend less time connecting government sources.

Data you can reuse

Use the same records in your code, analysis, and customer workflows.

Find an example →

Try the data before you subscribe.

Start a 15-day trial with no payment card. The trial ends without a charge.

Choose Builder at $49/month, Professional at $149/month, or Team at $399/month. Annual billing is also available.

The catalog playground is free to explore. Inspect captured samples after signing in; live queries use your API access.

About GovBiz data access

What do I get?

You get API access to the available public-record catalog. Each dataset page lists its fields, sources, and known limits.

Do I need an AI agent?

No. Use the web API from any software that supports authenticated requests. MCP gives supported AI tools another way to query the data.

Why pay for public records?

GovBiz collects and organizes supported sources, normalizes documented fields, and maintains query access. The original government records may already be free.

How current is the data?

Update timing depends on the source. Check dataset coverage, record dates, and any returned freshness information.

What happens after the trial?

API requests pause unless you purchase access. Your trial does not charge you automatically. Captured samples remain available in the catalog playground.
