## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## BORG SAM.gov Contract Opportunities

Exports current public federal contract opportunities from the official SAM.gov Data Services full CSV snapshot. It does not scrape SAM.gov pages and does not require a SAM.gov account or API key.

### Source and completeness

The Actor discovers `ContractOpportunitiesFullCSV.csv` through SAM.gov's public file-extract listing, then streams the official S3 object to EOF. Raw response bytes are hashed while CSV records are parsed. A run is green only when the full byte count is consumed, every `NoticeId` is unique, and the source schema remains valid.

The current source is a snapshot, so its row count and SHA-256 can change when SAM.gov republishes it. Those values are runtime evidence, not hard-coded product identity.

### Filters

Use keyword search, NAICS codes, notice types, set-asides, agencies, place-of-performance states, and posted-date bounds. `maxItems` limits emitted matches only; it never short-circuits source verification.

### Output

Records preserve the useful fields in the official extract: opportunity identity/title, solicitation and agency information, notice type, set-aside, NAICS/PSC, place of performance, award fields, public contact fields, canonical SAM.gov link, description, source, and collection timestamp. Fields that SAM.gov leaves blank remain `null` rather than being fabricated.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive search across title, solicitation number, agency, office, set-aside, NAICS, place of performance, awardee, contacts, and description.

## `naicsCodes` (type: `array`):

Exact NAICS codes to include. Leave empty for all NAICS codes.

## `noticeTypes` (type: `array`):

Exact SAM.gov notice types such as Solicitation, Sources Sought, or Award Notice.

## `setAsides` (type: `array`):

Exact SAM.gov set-aside labels to include.

## `agencies` (type: `array`):

Exact Department/Ind.Agency values to include.

## `states` (type: `array`):

Two-letter place-of-performance state codes to include.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional inclusive lower bound for PostedDate (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `postedBefore` (type: `string`):

Optional inclusive upper bound for PostedDate (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum matching records emitted after the entire official snapshot has been consumed and verified.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `datasetItems` (type: `string`):

Matching SAM.gov opportunity records in the default dataset.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Exact source hash, byte count, source cardinality, filters, and product identity stored under OUTPUT.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "maxItems": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("acid-base/borg-sam-contract-opportunities").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "maxItems": 100 }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("acid-base/borg-sam-contract-opportunities").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "maxItems": 100
}' |
apify call acid-base/borg-sam-contract-opportunities --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,acid-base/borg-sam-contract-opportunities"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
