## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## French public tenders watcher (BOAMP)

Monitor **French public procurement notices** (BOAMP, the official bulletin) and
get a clean, structured feed of opportunities. Open data from the DILA, no API key,
no login, no scraping of HTML pages.

### What you get per notice

- notice ID and a **direct link** to the official page
- purpose (`objet`), buyer name
- publication date and **submission deadline**
- department(s) where the contract is performed
- contract type (works / supplies / services), nature, procedure
- notice family (BOAMP national / JOUE European)

### Why this is useful

Public buyers publish thousands of notices a day. Most SMEs never see them,
because generic portals are noisy and paid services charge a subscription. This
Actor gives you a **keyword + department** feed you can run on a schedule, and
charge per notice actually delivered.

### Input

| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | searched in the notice purpose (OR between keywords) |
| `searchFields` | search in `objet` (default) or `nomacheteur` to follow one buyer |
| `departments` | restrict to where the work happens |
| `tenderTypes` | TRAVAUX / FOURNITURES / SERVICES |
| `publishedSinceDays` | publication window (7 = last week, 30 = last month) |
| `closingOnly` | drop notices whose deadline has passed |
| `closingWithinDays` | only urgent ones (e.g. 7 days left) |
| `maxResults` | hard spending cap |

### Run it on a schedule

Typical setup: one run per day, `publishedSinceDays: 2`, `closingOnly: true`.
You get only what is new and still open — a few cents per day.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Recherchés dans l'objet de l'avis. Plusieurs mots-clés sont combinés en OU. Laisser vide pour ne pas filtrer par mot-clé.

## `searchFields` (type: `array`):

Par défaut l'objet de l'avis. `nomacheteur` permet de suivre un acheteur précis.

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Codes département où la prestation est réalisée (ex. 69, 2A, 971).

## `tenderTypes` (type: `array`):

Laisser vide pour tous les types.

## `publishedSinceDays` (type: `integer`):

Fenêtre de publication. 7 = la semaine écoulée, 30 = le mois.

## `closingOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Écarte les avis dont la date limite de réponse est passée.

## `closingWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

0 = pas de filtre. 7 = urgents, à traiter cette semaine.

## `strictKeywordMatch` (type: `boolean`):

Ne livre que les avis où le mot-clé apparaît réellement dans le texte. Le moteur de recherche officiel est tolérant et remonte jusqu'à un tiers de faux positifs : laisser activé, sauf pour élargir volontairement.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Plafond de dépense : chaque avis livré est facturé.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "tenderTypes": [
    "TRAVAUX"
  ],
  "publishedSinceDays": 30,
  "closingOnly": true,
  "closingWithinDays": 0,
  "strictKeywordMatch": true,
  "maxResults": 50
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `tenders` (type: `string`):

Notices: BOAMP ID, purpose, buyer name, publication date, submission deadline, departments, contract type, nature, procedure, notice family and a direct link to the official BOAMP page.

## `summary` (type: `string`):

JSON summary of the run: number of notices delivered, keywords, departments, contract types and publication window used.

# 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 = {
    "tenderTypes": [
        "TRAVAUX"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("donnees-france/boamp-tenders-watcher").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "tenderTypes": ["TRAVAUX"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("donnees-france/boamp-tenders-watcher").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "tenderTypes": [
    "TRAVAUX"
  ]
}' |
apify call donnees-france/boamp-tenders-watcher --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,donnees-france/boamp-tenders-watcher"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
