# AusTender Contract Watchlist: Current Records and Changes

**Use case:** 

Check contract records and amendments on AusTender. Replace CN4258099 and CN4265960 with your Contract Notice IDs (CN followed by digits). The first run returns a baseline; later runs return current records and verified changes. Choose a monitor key for your watchlist and keep it unchanged between runs. Check status and error for unverified records.

## Input

```json

  "contracts": [
    "CN4258099",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [AusTender Contract Expiry & Recompete Monitor](https://apify.com/automa-flow/austender-contract-expiry-monitor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/automa-flow/austender-contract-expiry-monitor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
