Why use this BOAMP tender scraper?

BOAMP is a key source for French public procurement notices, but raw API fields are French, nested, and not always convenient for business users.

This actor turns BOAMP notices into an export-ready table with stable names, arrays, CPV codes, source URLs, and date fields.

Data you can extract

Field	Description
idweb	BOAMP web notice identifier
sourceUrl	BOAMP notice URL
title	Tender object / notice summary
buyerName	Public buyer or contracting authority
publicationDate	BOAMP publication date
responseDeadline	Deadline for responses when available
natureLabel	Notice type label
procedureLabel	Procedure label
departments	French department codes
marketTypes	Works, supplies, services, or other market type codes
descriptorLabels	BOAMP descriptor labels
cpvCodes	CPV codes parsed from nested BOAMP data when present

How much does it cost to scrape BOAMP public tenders?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee per run and a per-notice result event for each saved BOAMP record.

Use maxItems to control the size and cost of each run.

Start with the default prefill, confirm the output shape, and then increase maxItems for monitoring or export jobs.

FAQ

What is BOAMP?

BOAMP is the Bulletin officiel des annonces des marchés publics, an official source for French public procurement notices.

Can I monitor one buyer?

Yes. Use the buyer input with a contracting authority name such as Ville de Paris, then schedule the actor.

Troubleshooting

I get zero results

Try a broader French keyword, remove department filters, or expand your date range.

BOAMP field values are in French and official procurement terminology matters.

My date filter fails

Use YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2026-01-01.

CPV codes are sometimes empty

Some BOAMP notices do not expose CPV codes in the nested notice payload. The actor returns CPV codes when they are present.
