# UKIntel Funder Intelligence

> UKIntel Funder Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from api.ukintel.uk, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ukintel-funder-intelligence-4ee395aa
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full funding profile for the Wellcome Trust — I want to see how many grants they've made, what they typically award, how their giving has changed year by year, and whether they have any schemes open right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, aggregated intelligence about a specific UK funder's historical grant-making behaviour and live opportunities in one call. Prefer it over manual 360Giving searches when you need parsed, agent-ready data (totals, distributions, yearly trends, recent awards) without scraping. Ideal for grant-seeking agents that need to qualify funders quickly before investing time in an application.

## Known failure modes

- Funder name not found in 360Giving corpus — returns empty or 404-style response
- Ambiguous funder name matching multiple organisations — may return the closest match or require a slug/org ID
- Funder exists but has no open schemes on Find a Grant — live schemes section will be empty
- All of the funder's data is share-alike licensed — aggregated numbers may be absent or limited
- Misspelled or informal funder name causes no match

## How this service works

Who actually funds things like yours: one UK funder's giving history aggregated from the 360Giving open-data corpus - grants made, total and typical award, size distribution, yearly pattern, most recent named awards - plus any of their grant schemes live on Find a Grant right now. Licences are respected per dataset (share-alike data is excluded from the numbers, and every recent-award row carries its source licence).

## Output

A structured JSON object containing: total number of grants made, total and median/typical award value, distribution of award sizes (buckets), year-by-year giving volume, a list of the most recent named grant awards each with source licence, and any currently live grant schemes for that funder on Find a Grant. Share-alike-licensed data is excluded from aggregated figures.
