Technical detail for developers: parameters, pagination, units, and freshness per method.

  • searchAwards

    read

    Federal awards search. Filter timePeriod, awardTypeGroup, recipient, NAICS, agency, place.

    awardTypeGroup must be a single group; mixed groups return 422.

  • getAwardById

    read

    Full award record by generated_internal_id (agency, period of performance, exec comp).

    Pass generated_internal_id verbatim from a searchAwards result.

  • searchByRecipient

    read

    Recipient-name fuzzy convenience wrapper (uses recipient_search_text under the hood).

    Defaults to contracts + the past 5 years (to today) if timePeriod omitted.

  • searchByNaics

    read

    NAICS slicing wrapper. Oil-services use 21 / 2111 / 2131 / 213111 / 213112.

    Accepts 2- to 6-digit prefixes; pass highest specificity available.

  • searchByAgency

    read

    Awards filtered by awarding agency toptier_code (089 DOE, 097 DoD, 014 Interior).

  • getRecipientById

    read

    Recipient profile by hash. -C (child) / -P (parent) / -R (standalone) suffix.

    Pass hash verbatim; bare hash (no suffix) is rejected upstream.

  • autocompleteRecipient

    unknown

    Fuzzy name -> recipient hit list (use to discover recipient hashes).

  • getServiceInfo

    read

    Award type taxonomy, agency (toptier_code) reference, NAICS reference, pagination caps.
