❓ FAQ

Why are residential proxies required for certain GCC portals?
Government websites in Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain use anti-bot systems that block standard datacenter IPs outside the GCC region. Enabling Residential Proxies solves this issue.

Does this scraper extract private sector RFPs?
Yes. GulfPulse aggregates official government procurement portals alongside major private project intelligence aggregators in KSA, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

How can I integrate GulfPulse with CRMs and webhooks?
You can trigger webhooks upon run completion to push new tender leads directly to Zapier, Make, Slack, or your CRM API (Salesforce, HubSpot).
