## 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`).

### English

#### What can it do?

- 🔎 **Keyword search** across official gazettes (accent-insensitive, exact phrases with quotes).
- 📅 **Any date range** (`dateFrom`/`dateTo`) or simply the **last N days**.
- 🔔 **Alert mode** (`onlyNew`): schedule it daily and get only publications you haven't seen yet – perfect for email/Slack/Make/Zapier/n8n alerts.
- 🇧🇷 Filter Brazil by **state (UF)** or **municipality (IBGE code)**.
- 🧾 Output: date, gazette, jurisdiction, edition, section, document type, number, issuer, title, keyword **excerpts**, matched keywords and links to the official PDF / text.

#### Use cases

Government tender & procurement monitoring (**licitações, pregão eletrônico, licitación pública**), regulatory & compliance tracking, legal research, lobbying/public affairs, journalism, B2G sales lead generation, monitoring mentions of your company or brand in official gazettes.

#### Input example

```json
{ "keywords": ["\"pregão eletrônico\" software", "licitación"], "sources": ["BR_MUNICIPAL", "MX_DOF", "AR_CABA"],
  "lastDays": 1, "onlyNew": true, "monitorName": "software-tenders", "brazilStates": ["SP", "MG"] }
```

#### Output example

```json
{ "publishedAt": "2026-10-27", "country": "BR", "gazette": "Diário Oficial Municipal",
  "jurisdiction": "São Francisco de Paula - RS", "edition": "711",
  "title": "Diário Oficial de São Francisco de Paula (RS) 2026-10-27 – Ed. 711",

  "source": "Querido Diário – Open Knowledge Brasil (CC BY 4.0)" }
```

#### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.002 per publication returned** ($2 / 1,000). No start fee. Empty runs cost almost nothing.

#### Sources (official / open data)

| Gazette | Source | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Brazil – municipal Diários Oficiais | [Querido Diário](https://queridodiario.ok.org.br) API (Open Knowledge Brasil, CC BY 4.0) | Hundreds of municipalities (growing), full text |
| Mexico – Diario Oficial de la Federación | [SIDOF open-data web services](https://sidof.segob.gob.mx/datos_abiertos) (SEGOB) | All federal notes, daily |
| Argentina – Boletín Oficial CABA | [Official public REST API](https://api-restboletinoficial.buenosaires.gob.ar/api/doc/) (GCBA) | All City of Buenos Aires acts |

Attribution is included in every item (`source`). This Actor is not affiliated with any government. Publications are reproduced for information; the official PDF is authoritative. Roadmap: more gazettes when reliable open APIs exist.

#### FAQ

**How do alerts work?** With `onlyNew: true` the Actor stores IDs already returned under `monitorName`; schedule it (e.g. daily) and connect a webhook/integration.
**Is it legal?** It uses only official open-data APIs and open licences; official acts are public information.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,frankely84/latam-official-gazette-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
