A free, machine-readable feed of Shanghai government grant, subsidy and policy notices, refreshed daily. Built for researchers, consultants and AI agents working on the China market.

**Live feed:** [https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json](https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json)
**Landing page:** [https://shituapp.com/dot/en/api.html](https://shituapp.com/dot/en/api.html)

~150 notices collected from nine official Shanghai sources — science & technology commission, commerce commission, human resources bureau, development & reform commission, IP office, transport commission and the municipal government portal.

Each record includes:

| Field | Meaning | 
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable id derived from the URL | 
| `title` | Notice title as published (Chinese) | 
| `url` | Link to the official notice — always authoritative | 
| `source` /`sourceId` | Issuing body and internal source key | 
| `published` | Publication date | 
| `deadline` /`daysLeft` | Application deadline when the notice states one | 
| `isOpen` | Whether the deadline is still in the future | 
| `score` | Relevance score for foreign-invested SMEs (0–10, heuristic) | 
| `snippet` | Short excerpt of the notice text | 

```
curl -s https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json \
  | jq '.meta, (.programs[] | select(.isOpen) | {title, deadline, url})'
```

Any agent or workflow with HTTP access can read the feed directly. Example prompt:

Fetch [https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json](https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json) and list every program whose `isOpen` is true, sorted by deadline. For each, output title, deadline, daysLeft and the official URL.

The feed is plain JSON over HTTPS, so any agent or workflow tool with HTTP access can read it directly.

```
Fetch https://shituapp.com/dot/api/programs.json and list every program
whose isOpen is true, sorted by deadline. For each, output title,
deadline, daysLeft, category and the official URL.
```

For MCP users: wrap the URL in a generic `fetch` / `http` tool — no scraper or browser needed. A machine-readable site summary is also published at [https://shituapp.com/dot/llms.txt](https://shituapp.com/dot/llms.txt)

Records include `titleEn` and `summaryEn` for currently open programmes when available, so agents can answer questions without translating the Chinese titles first. `title` and `url` remain the authoritative fields.

The hosted feed is regenerated every morning at ~08:10 China time. A GitHub Action in this repo pulls the latest copy into `data/programs.json` at 08:30 China time, so the snapshot here stays current.

The compilation (structure, metadata, relevance scores) is released under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). The underlying notices are public government information; the original Chinese notice at each `url` is authoritative.
