How this service works
Paid public-data feeds. Unpaid requests return HTTP 402. Prices are USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a slim JSON object containing an array of NSF award records matching the query, each with award metadata and a uiLink to the NSF award page. The response includes a source path and a descriptive label indicating it is an NSF Award Search result.
Example use cases
University research funding discovery
“Find NSF awards related to 'neural networks' given to MIT — show me the top 5 results with links.”
Grant tracking by topic
“Look up NSF awards about 'climate resilience' and return the first 20 results so I can see what projects have been funded.”
Awardee-specific grant lookup
“Search NSF awards for awardee name 'Stanford University' using the keyword 'genomics' and give me the results with UI links.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://project-api-gamma-sable.vercel.app/paid/nsf/awards?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search or discover NSF-funded research awards by keyword, topic, or organization, especially in automated agent workflows requiring programmatic access with per-call micropayment via x402/USDC on Base. Prefer over directly calling the NSF public API when you need a normalized, slim JSON response with UI links bundled in, or when you are operating in a context where x402 payment rails are already integrated.
Side effects
- HTTP 402 if payment is not included — USDC payment on Base required
- Missing required 'keyword' query parameter returns a validation error
- No results returned if keyword or awardee name matches no NSF records
- Invalid ROR ID format may return empty or error response
- Rate limiting or server errors from upstream NSF API propagating as 5xx
