@devhsoj/unclesam v0.0.4

unclesam

unclesam is an unofficial TypeScript API built for querying sam.gov. This package allows you to quickly & easily retrieve government contracts via a modern, typed API.

How to install

Requirements: node/npm

npm i @devhsoj/unclesam

Examples

Querying active contracts matching all words

import { ContractSearch, ContractQueryMode } from 'unclesam';

(async () => {
    const search = new ContractSearch({
        query: ['software', 'network'],
        queryMode: ContractQueryMode.ALL,
        active: true
    });

    // .list() goes through each page recursively (by default, 1000 records at a time) and returns an array of Contract objects
    const contracts = await search.list();

    console.log(contracts); // [{ title: 'Example Title', ... }]
})();

With pagination, retrieve the ten most recently modified contract opportunities containing the word 'defense'

import { ContractSearch, ContractQueryMode, ContractQueryIndex, ContractSearchSortOptions } from 'unclesam';

(async () => {
    // Using the static class method .search() on ContractSearch, allows you to directly interface with the sam.gov paginated API
    const res = await ContractSearch.search({
        page: 0,
        pageSize: 10,
        query: 'defense',
        active: true,
        queryMode: ContractQueryMode.EXACT,
        index: ContractQueryIndex.Opportunities,
        sort: ContractSearchSortOptions.dateModifiedDesc
    });

    // If there is an error on the sam.gov API, output the error
    if (res.error) {
        console.trace(res.error);
    } else {
        if (!res.contracts || res.contracts?.length === 0) {
            console.log('No contracts found!');
        } else {
            console.log(res.contracts);
        }
    }
})();
