Live UK grant funding calls from GOV.UK Find a Grant in one call: name, funder, amount range, opening/closing dates, who can apply, one-line summary and the official source link. Filter by keywords, nation, applicant type and amount band. Indexed daily from the official listing - the service has no API of its own, so this is the machine-readable version.
Costs $0.10 USDC per call (x402, Base mainnet). Returns: result = { total_matched, returned, grants[] of { id, name, funder, amounts{min,max,text}, window{opens,closes,open_now,days_to_close}, who_can_apply, org_types, regions, summary, criteria_parsed, criteria_basis seed|llm|listing|null, source_url }, excluded{} }.
