## 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

## Spain Public Tenders Scraper – PLACSP Licitaciones

**Spain public tenders scraper** (*licitaciones públicas*) built on the official open-data ATOM feed of the **Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP)**. It turns the complex CODICE XML into flat JSON: title, buyer, budget, CPV codes, submission deadline, status and a link to the tender. No login, no browser, no proxies.

### What does it do?

- Reads the newest tender updates, newest first, and follows the feed's pagination.
- Filters by **keywords**, **CPV prefix**, **status** (open, awarded…), **region/city** and **minimum budget**.
- Keeps one record per tender (its latest update).
- Excludes contact phones and emails. It returns only tender data.

### Use cases

- **Tender alerts for SMEs and freelancers**: get new open tenders in your CPV codes every morning.
- **Bid consultants and agencies**: build lead lists of public opportunities.
- **Market intelligence**: see which public bodies buy what, and for how much.
- **AI agents**: let an LLM triage and summarise tenders for you.
- **Telegram and X bots**: post new tenders by sector or region.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Keep tenders whose title contains any keyword (Spanish). Example: software, limpieza, consultoría |
| `cpvPrefixes` | Keep tenders with a CPV code starting with any prefix. Example: 72 (IT services), 45 (construction), 79 (business services) |
| `statuses` | PRE (prior notice), PUB (open), EV (evaluation), ADJ (awarded), RES (resolved), ANUL (cancelled). Example: PUB |
| `regions` | Text contained in region, city or NUTS code. Example: Madrid, ES51 |
| `minBudgetEur` | Example: 50000 |
| `maxPages` | Each page holds about 70 latest updates, newest first. Example: 10 |
| `maxItems` | 0 = no limit. Example: 200 |

Example input:

```json
{
  "maxPages": 3,

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
