World Bank Tender Deadline Watchdog

Give this Actor a sector keyword and/or a list of countries. It queries the official World Bank procurement notice API (search.worldbank.org/api/v2/procnotices - no API key, no login) for open "Invitation for Bids" and "Request for Expressions of Interest" notices and returns, per notice:

• project, country, buyer reference number and description, straight from the World Bank's own record
• the real bidder submission deadline date and time
• a computed days_left and a risk_level - URGENT, WATCH, OPEN, EXPIRED or NO_DEADLINE - based on how close that deadline is
• the buyer's own contact name, organization, address, email and phone so a bidder can act on the notice without opening the World Bank site

What makes this different

Checked live against the World Bank procurement search on 27 Sep 2026: every competing Actor in this space ("World Bank Procurement Notice Scraper", "World Bank Procurement Notices and Awards Scraper", "World Bank Procurement Notices & Contract Awards Scraper", and similar) extracts the raw notice fields and stops there - no deadline countdown, no urgency ranking, no direct contact surfaced as an actionable field. A user still has to open every notice and do the date math by hand to know which ones are worth chasing this week.

This Actor also queries the API's own qterm (keyword) and project_ctry_name (country) filters server-side instead of dumping every notice and filtering client-side, so a run against one sector/country pair only pulls the notices that matter, and merges/de-duplicates results across every (country x notice type) combination requested in one run.

Input

Field	Description
keyword	Sector/product keyword matched via the World Bank's own qterm search. Optional.
countries	List of project country names (World Bank spelling). Optional - omit for worldwide.
noticeTypes	Which notice types to include; only "Invitation for Bids" and "Request for Expressions of Interest" carry a real deadline.
maxNoticesPerQuery	Notices fetched per (country, notice type) combination before filtering. Default 50.
minDaysLeft	Drop notices whose deadline is closer than this (or already past). Default 0 - set negative to keep expired notices for historical analysis.
urgentWithinDays	Threshold for the URGENT risk level (WATCH is 2x this). Default 7.

Output (one row per notice, soonest deadline first)

Known local-machine note

The Actor retries on http.client.IncompleteRead, a transient truncated-read error some older TLS stacks raise against HTTPS endpoints; it is not a World Bank API error and a retry normally succeeds.
