Performance and Rate Limits

GeBIZ is a JSF (JavaServer Faces) application with session-bound pagination. The scraper manages ViewState tokens and cookie sessions automatically. No proxy is required — the portal has no geo-restrictions or CAPTCHA.

Mode	Speed	Use when
fetchDetails: false	~10 tenders/second	Bulk listing scans, opportunity monitoring
fetchDetails: true	~1 tender/second	Contact extraction, detailed analysis

Examples:

• 20 tenders with full details: ~35 seconds
• 100 tenders listing-only: ~10 seconds
• 1,000 tenders listing-only: ~2 minutes

The scraper applies a 300ms delay between pagination requests and a 500ms delay between detail page fetches as a courtesy to the portal.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing:

• $0.10 per actor start
• $0.01 per tender record saved

A run collecting 100 tenders costs approximately $1.10 total.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I scrape Singapore government tenders from GeBIZ? Run this actor with your desired maxItems and statusFilter. Set fetchDetails: true (default) to get contact person name, email, and phone from each tender's detail page. Results export as JSON, CSV, or via the Apify API.

Does the GeBIZ scraper require a proxy? No. GeBIZ has no geo-blocking, CAPTCHA, or rate limiting on standard HTTP requests. The actor runs without any proxy configuration.

How many tenders are on GeBIZ? Approximately 7,100 open tenders at any given time. Singapore government agencies post 50–100 new tenders per day. Set maxItems up to 10,000 to collect the full open tender listing.

What procurement categories does GeBIZ cover? All Singapore public sector procurement: IT and software, construction and facilities, professional services, healthcare, education, security, logistics, and more. Use the keyword field to filter by category or subject matter.

Can I scrape closed or awarded GeBIZ tenders? Yes. Set statusFilter to closed or all. Awarded tenders include additional fields on the detail page that are captured when fetchDetails: true.

How often should I run the scraper for fresh data? For continuous opportunity monitoring, run daily. GeBIZ does not provide a change feed or RSS, so re-scraping the open tender listing is the standard approach.

Is scraping GeBIZ legal? GeBIZ's robots.txt allows scraping (only /scripts/ is disallowed). The portal is a public government resource. Always review the site's terms of use before commercial use of the data.
