FEMA Public Assistance (PA) funded project details — the post-disaster grants FEMA obligates to state/local/tribal governments and eligible nonprofits to repair public infrastructure and cover emergency response (debris removal, emergency protective measures, roads, buildings, utilities, parks). Filter by state (2-letter) and/or disasterNumber (one of the two is required); optionally refine by incidentType. Returns the total matching worksheet count plus projects (disaster number, declaration date, incident type, project worksheet number, application title, applicant, damage category, project size, status, county, federal share obligated / total obligated / project amount in USD, obligation date), largest federal share first. Free, public-domain (OpenFEMA). Distinct from gov.hazard-mitigation (future-risk mitigation grants) and gov.nfip-claims (flood losses paid) — this is disaster recovery funding for public infrastructure.
/api/gov/public-assistancePAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The public assistance API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. FEMA Public Assistance (PA) funded project details — the post-disaster grants FEMA obligates to state/local/tribal governments and eligible nonprofits to repair public infrastructure and cover emergency response (debris removal, emergency protective measures, roads, buildings, utilities, parks).
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in public assistance data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
