It looks like when a search is first executed "active awards" is set by default, but running a new search from the search results page includes expired awards as well. I did not take that into account. This may explain discrepancies not only between the spreadsheet and the NSF API results, but also within the spreadsheet as well (i.e. I would need to go through and check that all are active or unrestricted before a meaningful comparison could be made with the NSF API)
Ok thanks.
Spreadsheet actually turned out to be consistent, SBE and EHR show active and expired awards, SBE and EHR over the last two years include active awards only. I added a column to show total results from all directorates (i.e. not limited to SBE and EHR), but interestingly even there the results do not match the bot. E.g., it shows a total of 13 awards for "interview participants" whereas the bot seems to have found 25.
Thanks Robert... The API vs the manual search may have different parameters... I'll try to read the documentaiton a bit closer tonight
Hi @rdemgenski - we were trying to replicate some of your results using the NSF API - and we're getting different numbers (a lot more results). Besides limiting your search by date (2018 forward) - were there other limiters?
