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 ## πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ German Tenders Scraper β€” Public Procurement (Federal + Regional) Get **every German public tender** (Ausschreibung) in clean CSV / JSON β€” from the **official national publication service** [oeffentlichevergabe.de](https://oeffentlichevergabe.de).

Format YYYY-MM-DD. Leave both dates empty to auto-use yesterday. ## `pubDateTo` (type: `string`): Scan tenders published ON or BEFORE this date. Format YYYY-MM-DD. Same as 'from' for a single day. Max 31-day range per run. ## `bundesland` (type: `array`): Keep only tenders in these federal states. Example: Bayern + Nordrhein-Westfalen. Empty = whole country. ## `cpvPrefix` (type: `array`): Match an industry by the start of its CPV code (prefix). Examples: 45 = construction work, 71 = architecture/engineering, 72 = IT services, 48 = software, 33 = medical, 90 = environment/waste, 50 = repair & maintenance. Empty = all industries. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Keep only tenders whose title, description or buyer contains ANY of these words (case-insensitive). Example: 'Solar', 'Photovoltaik', 'Dach'. Empty = no keyword filter. ## `procedureTypes` (type: `array`): Filter by procurement procedure. Empty = all. ## `onlyWithEmail` (type: `boolean`): Keep only notices that include a contact email β€” best for outreach / lead-gen. ## `monitorNew` (type: `boolean`): Remember notices already seen and emit only newly published ones. Perfect for a daily scheduled run that feeds fresh tender leads. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap total tenders returned (a single day can have 1,000+). ## Actor input object example ```json { "pubDateFrom": "2026-06-11", "pubDateTo": "2026-06-11", "bundesland": [ "Bayern", "Nordrhein-Westfalen" ], "cpvPrefix": [ "45", "71" ], "keywords": [ "Solar", "Photovoltaik" ], "onlyWithEmail": false, "monitorNew": false, "maxResults": 200 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
