}About the devex.com API
The Devex API provides 6 endpoints covering global development sector data, from funding opportunities to job listings and news articles. The search_funding endpoint lets you query tenders and grants by type, status, and keyword, returning fields like deadline, places, status, and summarized_description. Organizations, events, and news are each searchable through dedicated endpoints, all returning structured, paginated JSON.
Funding Opportunities
The search_funding endpoint returns paginated arrays of funding objects filtered by types (e.g., tender,grant) and statuses (e.g., forecast,open,closed). Each result includes id, title, places, deadline, status, and summarized_description. For full project scope, get_funding_detail accepts an item_id from search results and returns a funding_project object with value_display and awardees. When detailed content is gated behind a Devex Pro subscription, the response includes a paywall_url field; otherwise it is null.
Jobs, News, and Organizations
search_jobs returns development sector positions with fields including career_level, places, closing_date, employer_company, and news_topics. search_news covers global development journalism, returning article objects with title, overline, teaser, publication_date, thumbnail, authors, and news_topics. search_organizations surfaces donors, contractors, and NGOs, with fields for organization_size, organization_types, and country presence. All three endpoints accept query and pagination params (page, limit).
Events
search_events always returns upcoming events only — no historical data. Each event object includes title, description, starts_at, ends_at, overline, registration_open, slug_and_id, and thumbnail. Unlike the other endpoints, search_events does not accept a query parameter, so results cannot be filtered by keyword.
Pagination
Every endpoint returns a page object containing number, size, pages, prev_url, current_url, and next_url, making it straightforward to walk through large result sets. The total field at the top level gives the full count of matching records across all pages.

Does Devex have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_funding_detail` return when content is behind a Devex Pro subscription?+
funding_project object with base fields such as title, status, deadline, and summarized_description. When the full project scope or application procedures require a Pro subscription, the paywall_url field contains a URL to the gated page. When content is freely accessible, paywall_url is null.Can I filter events by keyword, topic, or date range?+
search_events does not currently accept a query, topic, or date filter — it returns upcoming events only and accepts only a limit parameter. The API covers event metadata including starts_at, ends_at, overline, and registration_open. You can fork it on Parse and revise it to add keyword or date-range filtering if your use case requires it.Does the API expose individual news article full text?+
search_news endpoint returns article objects with teaser, overline, title, authors, and news_topics, but does not include the full article body. You can fork it on Parse and revise it to add a detail endpoint that retrieves the full article content.How does pagination work across the endpoints?+
page object with number, size, pages, prev_url, current_url, and next_url alongside a top-level total count. Use the page and limit parameters to step through results. search_events accepts limit but does not expose a page parameter for offset navigation.
