## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Chile Subtel Telecom & Satellite Concessions Scraper

Scrapes all telecom and satellite concession filings from Chile's Subtel tramites portal ([publico.subtel.gob.cl](https://publico.subtel.gob.cl/data-externa/tramitesConcesiones.html)). Collects applicant details, concession type, submission and resolution dates, and official decree/resolution document links across all service categories and years.

### What it does

The actor queries the Subtel (Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones) public portal for concession filing records. It sends authenticated partial-page requests to the portal's internal search API and parses the returned HTML table fragments.

For each concession record, the actor extracts:
- Applicant (company or individual) name and concession category
- Submission action label, tramite ID number, and date
- Resolution number, date, and official document link
- Decree number, date, and official document link
- Service type code (SI, SL, SP, or SR) and query year

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | integer | 5 | Maximum number of records to collect. Leave empty for all. |
| `yearFrom` | integer | 2025 | Start year of the search range. |
| `yearTo` | integer | 2025 | End year of the search range. |
| `serviceType` | string | `ALL` | Service category filter. See options below. |

#### Service type codes

| Code | Category |
|------|----------|
| `ALL` | All service types (expands to SI + SL + SP + SR) |
| `SI` | Servicios Intermedios (intermediate services) |
| `SL` | Servicios Limitados (limited services) |
| `SP` | Servicios Públicos (public services) |
| `SR` | Servicios de Radiodifusión Sonora (radio broadcasting) |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "yearFrom": 2020,
    "yearTo": 2025,
    "serviceType": "ALL",
    "maxItems": 1000
}
````

### Output

Each record in the dataset has the following fields:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `tramite_id` | string | Tramite submission number (e.g. "271") |
| `applicant_name` | string | Name of the applicant company or individual |
| `concession_type` | string | Category of concession requested |
| `ingreso_label` | string | Action label for the submission entry |
| `ingreso_date` | string | Submission date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `resolucion_number` | string | Resolution number issued by Subtel |
| `resolucion_date` | string | Resolution date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `decreto_number` | string | Decree number (when applicable) |
| `decreto_date` | string | Decree date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `resolution_doc_url` | string | URL to the official resolution or decree document |
| `service_type_code` | string | Service type code (SI, SL, SP, SR) |
| `query_year` | string | Year used in the search query |
| `subtel_canonical_url` | string | Canonical URL of the source portal |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped |

#### Example output record

```json
{
    "tramite_id": "271",
    "applicant_name": "EMPRESA NACIONAL DE TELECOMUNICACIONES S.A.",
    "concession_type": "Telefonía Fija",
    "ingreso_label": "Solicitud de Concesión",
    "ingreso_date": "2025-01-02",
    "resolucion_number": "886",
    "resolucion_date": "2025-03-15",
    "decreto_number": null,
    "decreto_date": null,
    "resolution_doc_url": "https://publico.subtel.gob.cl/data-externa/docs/R886_2025.pdf",
    "service_type_code": "SI",
    "query_year": "2025",
    "subtel_canonical_url": "https://publico.subtel.gob.cl/data-externa/tramitesConcesiones.html",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-08T08:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Performance notes

- The portal enforces a one-year maximum search window per query.
- Each per-year, per-service-type query takes approximately 30–40 seconds to respond due to server-side database processing.
- With `serviceType: ALL`, the actor issues 4 requests per year (SI + SL + SP + SR). A 10-year full run issues 40 sequential requests, taking approximately 20–30 minutes.
- Concurrency is fixed at 1 to respect the portal's rate limits.

### Data source

- **Portal:** [Trámites de Concesiones — Subtel Chile](https://publico.subtel.gob.cl/data-externa/tramitesConcesiones.html)
- **Publisher:** Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones (Subtel), Chilean Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications
- **Coverage:** Concession filings from 2015 to present
- **Update frequency:** Near real-time (records appear as applications are processed)
