Search NASA's TechPort inventory — every technology R&D project the agency has tracked, active and completed. Harvested gradually in the background (TechPort only exposes one project per API call, ~21,000 total), so the list grows over time rather than all at once.

lastUpdated date for the project. "Recently harvested" instead sorts by when we pulled the record into our database, which clusters within the initial harvest window and is far less meaningful — prefer "Recently updated (NASA)".curl -sS "https://devops.majbase.com/nasa-tech-projects/api?q=laser&status=Active&sort=trl&page=1"Returns {"rows": [...], "total", "page", "pages"}, or {"error": "..."} if temporarily unavailable.
