India Government Tenders Scraper - GeM & CPPP Portal

Scrape Indian government tender leads for B2B sales, procurement research, and public-sector opportunity tracking. The actor searches the live GeM bid listing endpoint by keyword, deduplicates tenders by ID, then enriches each GeM result from its public bid PDF when available. PDF enrichment fills practical lead fields such as publishing date, bid opening date, bid validity, organization, ministry, department, state/location hints, EMD amount, and eligibility summary. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or pull via the Apify API — no login and no API key required.

The actor accepts multiple keywords in one run, supports up to 500 matching tenders per keyword, and saves clean records to the Apify Dataset. Filters are applied after enrichment where the public source exposes the field, so state and published-date filters use the recovered GeM detail data instead of rough listing text. Pay-per-event charging happens only after a real tender record is pushed to the dataset.

CPPP support is guarded. The current public CPPP listing is CAPTCHA-gated before tender results are exposed. When CPPP is selected, the actor detects the gate, skips CPPP without placeholder rows, and does not charge tender-scraped events for unavailable records. This keeps the dataset honest while preserving the schema for future CPPP access improvements.

Use Cases

1. B2B lead generation for companies selling to government buyers
2. Procurement research by product or service keyword
3. Vendor opportunity tracking for active GeM bid deadlines
4. Government contract analytics by ministry and department
5. Supply chain planning around public-sector demand signals

Notes

• GeM tender value, tender document fee, and corrigendum count are left null when they are not exposed by the public listing or bid PDF.
• The default Apify table view focuses on populated GeM lead fields and hides GeM-only unavailable value, fee, and corrigendum columns.
• GeM state/location is inferred from public bid PDF text when available. Records without a matched state are excluded only when a state filter is provided.
• No placeholder rows are pushed.
• No PPE event is charged unless Actor.pushData() succeeds for a real tender record.
• Data is for lead generation and research, not legal or procurement advice.
