## 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



# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Free-text term searched across opportunity titles and descriptions, e.g. "cybersecurity", "roofing", "IT support".
## `naicsCode` (type: `string`):

North American Industry Classification System code, e.g. "541512" (Computer Systems Design), "236220" (Commercial Building Construction).
## `noticeType` (type: `string`):

Restrict to one notice type.
## `setAside` (type: `string`):

Restrict to a small-business set-aside category.
## `organizationId` (type: `string`):

Filter by awarding agency using its SAM.gov organization ID, e.g. "100006688" (Department of Defense).
## `placeOfPerformanceState` (type: `string`):

Two-letter US state code for the place of performance, e.g. "VA".
## `modifiedFrom` (type: `string`):

Only opportunities modified on/after this date. Format YYYY-MM-DD-04:00 (with timezone offset), e.g. "2026-06-01-04:00". Use with sort = most recently modified for a monitor.
## `modifiedTo` (type: `string`):

Only opportunities modified on/before this date. Format YYYY-MM-DD-04:00, e.g. "2026-06-19-04:00".
## `activeOnly` (type: `boolean`):

When on, return only currently active (not archived) opportunities.
## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When on, fetch each opportunity's detail page to add NAICS, set-aside, point of contact, place of performance and full description (one extra request per opportunity).
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of opportunities to return.
## `apiKey` (type: `string`):

Optional public api.sam.gov key for higher request budgets. Never required — the actor works without it. Get one free at https://sam.gov.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy used to reach SAM.gov. US residential is the reliable default; the run is billed to your account.

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Dataset of SAM.gov opportunities (title, solicitation number, notice type, agency, set-aside, NAICS, response date, point of contact, place of performance, URL).

# 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 = {
    "keyword": "information technology",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bovi/sam-gov-opportunities-scraper").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);
});
