Additional Information

Rows per request: 
The API default response will contain a maximum of 25 rows, if your search yields more results you can paginate to the next result or increase the amount of data in the SBIR response with the rows parameter. Limit 50 or less.

Example: https://api.www.sbir.gov/public/api/solicitations?rows=25

Pagination and Maneuvering through Pages: 
To continue to receive the remaining portions of your search results you must enable the starting offset parameter also known as Offset-based Pagination. The pages for this API have set limits for number of records per request as mentioned above. Using the assumption that the limitation is set to 50 records, below is an example of how the pagination is set for this API

For Page 2 Example: https://api.www.sbir.gov/public/api/solicitations?start=20

For Page 3 Example: https://api.www.sbir.gov/public/api/solicitations?start=50

Note: The starting offset is akin to “provide me with all results after this given number of records”, and if you go off the end of the total number of pages you will no longer receive results.

Return Types: 
The API default return type is JSON. To change the return type from the API you will need to modify the document type in the URL request.

Example: Return Type=XML
https://api.www.sbir.gov/public/api/solicitations?format=xml

Example: Return Type= JSON
https://api.www.sbir.gov/public/api/solicitations
