}About the fastweb.com API
The Fastweb API exposes 8 endpoints covering scholarship listings, directory categories, state and major filters, detailed scholarship records, financial aid articles, and student discount offers from Fastweb.com. The get_scholarship_detail endpoint returns full scholarship descriptions, award amounts, deadlines, and provider information for any individual listing. The get_scholarships_by_category, get_scholarships_by_state, and get_scholarships_by_major endpoints let you slice the directory by any dimension Fastweb supports.
Scholarship Directory Browsing
The API provides two discovery endpoints: get_scholarship_directory_categories returns all browseable category slugs (with name, slug, and url fields), and get_featured_scholarships returns the sponsored and promoted scholarships currently highlighted on the site. Both require no input parameters and are useful for building scholarship feed displays or seeding downstream category queries.
Filtering by Category, State, and Major
get_scholarships_by_category accepts a slug string (e.g. scholarships-for-women) and returns a list of matching scholarships, each with title, detail_url, provider, award, and deadline fields. get_scholarships_by_state and get_scholarships_by_major accept plain-English names — California, Engineering — and construct the appropriate slug automatically, making it straightforward to query without pre-fetching the category list. All three endpoints return the same response shape, so they can be handled uniformly in your application.
Scholarship Detail Records
get_scholarship_detail takes an id_slug (the path segment from any detail_url, e.g. 77822-women-s-league-scholarship-uiuc) and returns the full record: a details object with amount, deadline, and awards available; a description string with eligibility criteria and instructions; and the provider organization name. This is the endpoint to call when you need more than the listing-level fields.
Financial Aid Content and Student Discounts
get_financial_aid_articles returns a list of recent articles from Fastweb covering FAFSA, student loans, and related topics, each with title and url. get_student_discounts returns merchant offers available to students, each with a merchant name and offer string. These two endpoints cover the non-scholarship content surfaces on Fastweb.

What does `get_scholarships_by_category` return compared to `get_scholarship_detail`?+
get_scholarships_by_category returns listing-level fields — title, detail_url, provider, award, and deadline — for all scholarships in a category. get_scholarship_detail returns the full record for one scholarship, including the description with eligibility text and a details object with amount and awards available. Use the listing endpoints to discover slugs, then call get_scholarship_detail with the id_slug from detail_url to get the complete record.
