## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Brazil Data Center Watch Free Headlines

By Kman.

Up to 25 English headlines from the last 7 days on data centers in Brazil, taken from official sources: Chamber of Deputies, Federal Senate, ANEEL and municipal gazettes. Federal Official Gazette (DOU): temporarily out, awaiting the official route (DOU: temporariamente fora, aguardando rota oficial). Its website disallows automated access in robots.txt, so it is not read until an official reuse route is in place. Each headline has the date, jurisdiction, record type, source name and the link to the official page. No summaries.

Public-source compilation. Not legal, credit or investment advice.

### Use this when

- You want a free weekly check of what happened in Brazil on data center legislation, regulation, grid access and municipal acts.
- An AI agent needs a short list of dated, linked headlines before deciding whether to pull full records.

Full records (status, English summary, companies with CNPJ, deadlines, history) and the weekly edition are in **Brazil Data Center Watch**: https://apify.com/kman-br/brazil-datacenter-watch

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `maxItems` | integer | 25 | Headlines returned, most relevant first. Cap 25. When no headline is dated in the last 7 days, the most recent ones are returned with their real dates and a `fora_da_janela` warning in `RUN_SUMMARY`. |

### Output

One dataset item per headline: `title_en`, `date`, `jurisdiction` (`federal`, `state:XX`, `municipal:City-XX`), `type` (`bill`, `law`, `decree`, `ordinance`, `resolution`, `public_consultation`, `gazette_act`, `grid_access`, `procurement`, `contract`, …), `source_name`, `source_url`. `RUN_SUMMARY` in the run's key-value store has the period covered and the link to the paid Actor.

### Price

No event charges. The run uses a few seconds of compute on your Apify plan (pay per usage). The Actor refuses to run if pay-per-event pricing is ever turned on for it.

### Sources

Chamber of Deputies Open Data API (https://dadosabertos.camara.leg.br), Federal Senate Legislative Open Data (https://legis.senado.leg.br/dadosabertos), Senate legislation list, ANEEL open data (https://dadosabertos.aneel.gov.br), Querido Diário municipal gazettes (https://queridodiario.ok.org.br). Collected once a day.

### Methodology

Headlines are the records of the last 7 days with relevance 0.6 or more (a core term such as data center, centro de dados or Redata, or a grid-access term), ordered by relevance and date. Titles are glossary-based English translations of the official Portuguese titles. Personnel acts and personal data are excluded.

### Sample output

Ten real items from the local run of 24 Oct 2026, in the headline format:

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call kman-br/brazil-datacenter-watch-free --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,kman-br/brazil-datacenter-watch-free"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
