Australia Government Contracts - AusTender Scraper

Get Australian Government contracts from the official AusTender OCDS API (Department of Finance, CC BY): filter by keyword, agency, supplier, UNSPSC code and value, and get agency, awarded supplier, value, dates and a link to the official record. No API key, no proxies. Versión en español más abajo.

Use cases

• Sales and bid teams: see which agencies buy what you sell, and how much they spend
• Competitor intelligence: every contract won by a given supplier (proveedor)
• Market sizing: contract value by UNSPSC category, agency or supplier state
• Renewal alerts: contract end dates (fechaFin) tell you when a contract will be re-tendered

English

What does it do?

The Actor reads the AusTender contract notices published in the last N days, flattens the OCDS data and returns one clean record per contract: contract id, agency reference, description, agency and ABN, awarded supplier with ABN and location, UNSPSC codes, value and currency, signing/start/end dates, procurement method and the link to the official OCDS record. Only organisation data is returned: contact persons, emails and phone numbers are dropped on purpose.

Input

• palabrasClave: all words must appear in the contract description or reference.
• agencia, proveedor: part of the agency or supplier name.
• unspsc: UNSPSC prefixes such as 43 (IT) or 81 (IT services).
• diasAtras (1 to 90), valorMinimo (AUD), maxItems.

The default input already works: press Start and you get software contracts of the last 7 days in seconds.

Example:

{"palabrasClave":"software","diasAtras":7,"valorMinimo":50000,"maxItems":10}

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price	Per 1,000
Contract notice returned (contract-notice)	$0.003	$3.00

You only pay for contracts returned. Set a maximum spend per run and the Actor stops when the limit is reached, keeping what it saved. The Apify FREE plan includes monthly credit to try it.

Integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets)

• Make: add the Apify module "Run an Actor" (Actor Flets_sv/austender-australia-contracts), paste the input JSON, chain "Get Dataset Items" and map the fields to Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable or your CRM.
• Zapier: the Apify app offers "Run Actor" and "Fetch Dataset Items". Add a Schedule trigger and send each row to Gmail, Slack or Notion.
• Google Sheets: enable the official Google Sheets integration in the Actor's Integrations tab, or call https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/Flets_sv~austender-australia-contracts/run-sync-get-dataset-items?format=csv with POST and your input from Apps Script (UrlFetchApp).
• API and webhooks: start the Actor from the REST API, use Schedules for recurring runs and add a webhook to notify your system when a run finishes.

FAQ

Does it need an API key? No. AusTender publishes its OCDS API openly.

Are these tenders or contracts? Contracts already awarded (Commonwealth contract notices). For open calls in Europe or the UK use the related Actors below.

Does it return personal data? No contact persons, emails or phones. Supplier names are the registered names published by the Australian Government; some small suppliers trade under a personal name, so apply your own compliance rules when using them for marketing.

Why do I get fewer results than maxItems? Filters are applied after reading the published window (up to 80 pages); widen diasAtras or relax the filters.

Español

¿Qué hace?

El Actor lee los contratos publicados en AusTender (API OCDS oficial del Gobierno de Australia) en los últimos N días y devuelve una fila por contrato: agencia, proveedor adjudicatario con su ABN y ubicación, códigos UNSPSC, importe, fechas de firma/inicio/fin, método de contratación y enlace al registro oficial. No se devuelven datos de contacto.

Input

Por defecto busca contratos de «software» de los últimos 7 días y devuelve 10. Campos: palabrasClave, agencia, proveedor, unspsc, diasAtras (1 a 90), valorMinimo (AUD), maxItems.

Output

Un registro por contrato con los campos de los ejemplos reales de arriba.

Casos de uso

• Equipos comerciales: qué agencias compran lo que vendes y cuánto gastan.
• Inteligencia competitiva: todos los contratos de un proveedor.
• Avisos de renovación: fechaFin anticipa la próxima licitación.

Precios (pago por evento)

Contract notice returned (contract-notice): $0.003 ($3.00 por cada 1.000). Solo pagas por los contratos devueltos y puedes fijar un gasto máximo por ejecución.

Integraciones (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets)

• Make: módulo de Apify «Run an Actor» (Actor Flets_sv/austender-australia-contracts) y después «Get Dataset Items».
• Zapier: «Run Actor» con un disparador de horario.
• Google Sheets: integración oficial en la pestaña Integrations, o UrlFetchApp desde Apps Script.
• API y webhooks: lanza el Actor por API y avisa con un webhook al terminar.

Ejemplo de input para pegar en Make o Zapier:

{"palabrasClave":"software","diasAtras":7,"valorMinimo":50000,"maxItems":10}

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Necesito clave? No, la API de AusTender es abierta.

¿Son licitaciones abiertas? No, son contratos ya adjudicados. Para licitaciones abiertas de la UE, Reino Unido, Francia o España usa los Actores relacionados.

¿Datos personales? Ningún contacto (personas, emails, teléfonos). Los nombres de proveedor son los registrados oficialmente; algún autónomo opera con su nombre, así que aplica tu propia política de cumplimiento si los usas para marketing.
