Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## State Procurement Data (Multi-State Open Data APIs) ### Overview Scrape government procurement and contract data from multiple US states via Socrata SODA and CKAN APIs. Covers NY State, NYC, Texas DIR, and California open data portals. Supports keyword search, filters (Data Sources to Query). ### Features - Search by keywords to find specific results - Filter results by category or type - Export data in JSON, CSV, or Excel formats - Control output volume with configurable result limits ### Use Cases - **Monitor** - Monitor government contract opportunities - **Track** - Track procurement awards and vendor performance - **Build** - Build bid intelligence databases for contractors - **Aggregate** - Aggregate procurement data for competitive analysis ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `states` | array | Array of state/jurisdiction codes. Options: NY (NY State Authorities), NY_SUC... | `["NY", "NYC", "TX"]` | | `keyword` | string | Optional keyword to filter contracts (searches description and vendor fields) | | | `minAmount` | integer | Optional minimum contract amount in USD | | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of contracts to retrieve per data source | `100` | | `fiscalYear` | integer | Optional fiscal year to filter (e.g., 2024). If not specified, returns recent... | | ### Output Example Each result contains structured data like this: ```json { "title": "Sample Procurement Result", "agency": "Department of Commerce", "value": 50000, "deadline": "2025-06-30", "status": "Active", "category": "Standard", "url": "https://example.com/item/12345" } ```` ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-result pricing: - **$0.001** per result - **$1.00** per 1,000 results No monthly fees. You only pay for what you scrape. [Apify Free plan](https://apify.com/pricing) includes $5/month in platform credits. ### How to Run #### Apify Console 1. Go to the [State Procurement Data (Multi-State Open Data APIs)](https://apify.com/fortuitous_pirate/state-procurement-data) actor page 2. Configure your input parameters 3. Click **Start** and wait for the results 4. Download data in JSON, CSV, or Excel format #### API ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fortuitous_pirate~state-procurement-data/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"maxResults": 10}' ``` #### Python SDK ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN") run = client.actor("fortuitous_pirate/state-procurement-data").call( run_input={"maxResults": 10} ) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ### Integration Connect State Procurement Data (Multi-State Open Data APIs) with your existing tools and workflows: - **API access** - Programmatic access via [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - **Webhooks** - Get notified when scraping completes - **Scheduling** - Set up recurring runs on any schedule - **Zapier / Make** - Connect with 5,000+ apps via [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations) - **Python / Node.js SDKs** - Native client libraries for easy integration # Actor input Schema ## `states` (type: `array`): Array of state/jurisdiction codes.
