## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Italian Public Tenders Monitor (ANAC) 🇮🇹

Monitor **Italian public procurement tenders** — *bandi di gara e appalti pubblici* — straight from the official **ANAC national database** (Banca Dati Nazionale dei Contratti Pubblici). Set your filters once, schedule a daily run, and get **only the NEW tenders** that match your business: no duplicates, no noise.

### What it does

- 🔎 Scans **all Italian public tenders** published on the official ANAC legal publicity platform (pubblicitalegale.anticorruzione.it) — the single national source where, by law (D.Lgs 36/2023), every Italian public contract notice must be published since 2024. Above and below EU threshold, all regions, all contracting authorities.
- 🎯 Filters by **CPV code** (or prefix, e.g. `72` for IT services, `45` for construction), **keywords**, **region**, **contract nature** (works / services / supplies) and **estimated value range**.
- 🆕 Remembers what it already delivered and outputs **only new tenders** on every run — built for daily monitoring, not bulk dumps.
- 📦 Returns clean, flat JSON records: CIG, title, description, CPV code + official description, estimated value, contracting authority (name + fiscal code), municipality / province / region, procedure type, publication date, **submission deadline**, direct link to the tender documents.

### Why this data source

Since January 2024 the Italian procurement reform routes **every** public notice through the national ANAC database — regional portals and the Gazzetta Ufficiale are no longer the primary legal source. This Actor reads the national feed, so you get full coverage of Italy with a single tool: *gare d'appalto, bandi di gara, procedure aperte, affidamenti* from municipalities, regions, health authorities, universities and central bodies.

### Output example

```json
{
  "categoria": "bando",
  "cig": "BBFC78F16E",
  "titolo": "Servizi educativi in ambito scolastico ...",

}

### How to get daily email alerts (no code)

1. Configure your filters (CPV, keywords, region, value) and save them as a **Task**.
2. Add a **Schedule** (e.g. every morning at 8:00).
3. In the Task's **Integrations** tab, connect **Gmail**, **Slack**, **Google Sheets**, Make, Zapier or n8n on the "run succeeded" event.

You'll receive the new matching tenders every day, with deadlines and direct links to the documents.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `noticeTypes` | `bandi` (default — open tenders), `esiti` (award notices), `tutti` |
| `searchKeywords` | Match ANY keyword in the description (accent-insensitive) |
| `cpvCodes` | Full CPV codes or prefixes (`72`, `4523`, `85312000`) |
| `regions` | One or more Italian regions |
| `natures` | `Lavori`, `Servizi`, `Forniture` |
| `minValueEur` / `maxValueEur` | Estimated value range in EUR |
| `daysBack` | Publication window to scan (default 3 days) |
| `onlyNew` | Deduplicate across runs (default on) |
| `maxItems` | Cap on results per run |

If a run finds no new tenders, it outputs a single summary record — so you always know the monitor is alive.

### Notes & fair use

- Data comes from the **public** ANAC legal publicity feed (open government data). No login, no personal data: award notices may name natural persons in the source — this Actor **never** outputs awardee personal fields.
- CPV descriptions are mapped to official 8-digit CPV codes using the EU SIMAP table (9,400+ Italian entries).
- Typical run: a 3-day window scans ~20,000 notices in about a minute at 512 MB.

# Actor input Schema

## `noticeTypes` (type: `string`):

Which notices to monitor: new tenders (bandi di gara), award notices (esiti/aggiudicazioni), or everything.

## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`):

Match tenders whose description contains ANY of these keywords (case and accent insensitive). Leave empty to match all. Example: software, manutenzione stradale, pulizia.

## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`):

Filter by CPV classification. Accepts full codes (72000000) or prefixes (72 = IT services, 45 = construction works). Leave empty to match all.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Only tenders located in these Italian regions. Leave empty for all of Italy.

## `natures` (type: `array`):

Works (Lavori), services (Servizi) and/or supplies (Forniture). Leave empty for all.

## `minValueEur` (type: `integer`):

Skip tenders below this estimated value. 0 = no minimum. Tenders without a declared value are kept.

## `maxValueEur` (type: `integer`):

Skip tenders above this estimated value. 0 = no maximum.

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

Publication window: scan notices published in the last N days. For a daily schedule, 2-3 days is a safe overlap.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Remember tenders already seen in previous runs and output only new ones. Turn off to get everything in the window on every run.

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

Hard cap on the number of tenders pushed to the dataset in one run (cost control).
