## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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
## 📋 Bahrain Tender Scraper: مناقصات البحرين
Collect current public procurement opportunities from the Bahrain Tender Board without copying rows by hand. Use this Bahrain tender scraper to track tender numbers, subjects, authorities, published dates, purchase deadlines, and closing dates. Searchers looking for **مناقصات البحرين** can turn a daily public list into a structured procurement watchlist.
Turn published Bahrain tenders into a repeatable supplier and procurement workflow.
Start with a small sample, then schedule a focused watchlist for the opportunities that matter to your business.
| 📄 Current notices | 📅 Deadline planning | 🔄 Change monitoring | 🏛️ Official source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public tender numbers and subjects | Purchase-before and closing dates | New and updated tender records | Direct links back to the Tender Board |
### 🔍 What does this Actor do?
The Actor collects tender notices that the Bahrain Tender Board currently publishes. It returns a clean dataset for supplier research, procurement pipelines, deadline tracking, and scheduled opportunity monitoring.
You receive the published tender details as the Tender Board presents them. Empty source fields are not filled with guesses.
### 👥 Who is it for?
- A supplier development team wants a daily list of opportunities from specific purchasing authorities.
- A bid manager needs a deadline-focused table before deciding which tenders to review.
- A procurement analyst wants to monitor a narrow keyword or tender number without manually rechecking the website.
### ✨ Why use it?
- Collect current public tender records in one structured dataset.
- Filter by keyword, purchasing authority, tender number, Tender Board type, or SME and pre-qualification status.
- Use the deadline view to plan purchase and closing dates.
- Schedule change-only runs to focus on newly published or updated opportunities.
### 🧭 How it works
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Choose a keyword, authority, or leave filters empty for current published tenders. |
| 2 | Run a small sample and review `📋 Published tenders` in the Output tab. |
| 3 | Enable change-only monitoring and set a unique state name for a scheduled watchlist. |
### ⚙️ Input

|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | text | No | Filters tender numbers and subjects. |
| `purchasingAuthority` | text | No | Filters the published purchasing-authority name. |

| `tenderType` | text | No | Uses an official Tender Board tender-type value. |

| `maxPages` | integer | No | Maximum current-tender pages checked. |
| `incrementalMode` | boolean | No | Saves only new or updated tenders for a named state. |
| `stateName` | text | No | Keeps each watchlist's monitoring history separate. |
| `includeUnchanged` | boolean | No | Includes unchanged records during monitoring. |
### 🗂️ Data table

If a run saved you time, please leave a short review on the Actor page. It helps other procurement teams find a maintained Bahrain tender workflow.
### ❓ FAQ
#### Does this Actor include private bids or supplier accounts?
No. It collects only tender data that the Bahrain Tender Board publishes publicly.
#### Can I monitor newly published tenders?
Yes. Enable change-only monitoring and give each watchlist its own state name. The first run marks observed tenders as `NEW`.
#### هل يمكنني متابعة مناقصات البحرين الجديدة؟
Yes. Use change-only monitoring with a unique state name. Scheduled runs return published tender records that are new or have changed.
#### Does a missing tender mean it has expired?
No. The Actor does not infer expiry from a limited current-tender scan.
