Platform — API & Integrations
Decision infrastructure API
The API exposes the same capabilities available through the web interface — opportunity search, fit scoring, proposal generation, and pipeline management — through authenticated, documented endpoints. This enables teams to build custom integrations, automate workflows, and embed funding intelligence into the tools they already use.
Submit a project description and opportunity reference to receive a structured fit analysis with dimension-level scores, alignment signal, and risk indicators.
Query the full opportunity database with filters for agency, program area, funding range, deadline, and eligibility criteria. Returns structured metadata for each matching opportunity.
Trigger section-structured proposal generation programmatically. Retrieve draft content, version history, and export-ready output through the API.
Read and write project records, pipeline stages, and decision data. Synchronize funding operations with your internal systems.
The API is designed to fit into existing organizational infrastructure. Here are the most common integration patterns we see from teams using the API.
Grant consulting firms embed opportunity matching and fit scoring into their client management systems. When a new client is onboarded, the API automatically surfaces relevant opportunities and generates initial fit assessments.
Universities and research institutions connect GrantFounders to their internal research administration platforms. Pre-proposal triage, fit analysis, and proposal tracking flow into existing institutional workflows.
Organizations with specific reporting requirements build custom dashboards that pull pipeline data, proposal status, and decision history from the API into their preferred visualization tools.
Teams that process high volumes of opportunities use the API to automate initial screening, batch fit scoring, and pipeline stage management — reducing manual triage time significantly.
Standard REST endpoints with JSON request and response bodies. Consistent error handling and pagination across all endpoints.
Organization-scoped access keys with the gf_ prefix. Keys can be issued, rotated, and revoked through the account dashboard.
Tier-appropriate rate limits with clear headers indicating remaining capacity. Burst allowances for batch operations.
API access is available on Professional and Agency plans. Full documentation, including endpoint reference, authentication guide, and code examples, is available at docs.
