BOE Scraper – Spain Official Gazette Daily API

BOE scraper for the Boletín Oficial del Estado, Spain's Official State Gazette. It reads the official BOE open-data API and returns every item of the daily summary as clean JSON: laws, royal decrees, grants, public job calls (oposiciones), appointments and announcements, each with links to the HTML, PDF and XML versions. No login, no browser, no proxies.

What does it do?

• Reads one day or a date range (up to 92 days) of the BOE summary.
• Filters by section (e.g. 1 general provisions, 2B job calls, 5A tenders), department/ministry and title keywords.
• Skips days without a gazette automatically (BOE is not published on Sundays).

Use cases

• Legal and compliance alerts: new regulations that affect your business, every morning.
• Grants and public job calls: watch for subvenciones and oposiciones.
• Gestorías, law firms and consultants: daily digests for clients.
• AI agents and RAG: feed LLMs the official source, with PDF links for citations.
• Newsletters, Telegram and X bots: post today's key items automatically.
