FAQ

How much do 1,000 auctions cost? About $5 (one dataset item = one result) plus Apify's tiny start fee. Can I schedule it daily? Yes — use Apify Schedules (e.g. every morning) with mode: open to get only tenders still accepting proposals. Does it work with Make, Zapier or n8n? Yes — via the Apify integrations/API or a webhook on run finish; results come as JSON/CSV/Excel.

Integrations

• Google Sheets (Apify integration) for a live tender sheet.
• Webhooks on run success to push new tenders to your CRM or Slack.
• n8n / Make / Zapier through the Apify app or REST API.
• MCP (AI agents): available through the Apify MCP server, so agents can search Brazilian tenders directly.

Find Brazilian government tenders (licitações) in minutes. This Actor searches the official PNCP – Portal Nacional de Contratações Públicas open-data API (Law 14.133/2021) and returns clean, deduplicated records: agency, CNPJ, procurement object, estimated value, dates, and a direct link to the tender notice (edital).
