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 ## MercadoPublico Chile - Public Procurement Data Access structured data from Chile's public procurement platform [MercadoPublico.cl](https://www.mercadopublico.cl). Extract licitaciones (tenders), organization profiles, seller information, proposals, award results, and bidding statistics. ### What data can you get? - **Licitaciones** — Tender details including name, status, budget, dates, buyer organization, description, and product categories - **Organizations** — Public buyer entities with contact info, RUT, and procurement metrics (complaints, payment times) - **Sellers** — Supplier profiles with contact details, extracted emails/phones, proposal history, and award bid records - **Proposals** — Bids submitted by sellers for each licitacion, including pricing and ranking - **Awards** — Winning bids and full bid comparison tables (all participants) - **Bidding Statistics** — Pre-computed analytics: win rates, price dispersion, top bidders, market competitiveness by buyer+product - **Files** — Attached documents for each licitacion - **Activity** — Change history for licitaciones (status changes, new proposals, new attachments, awards) ### Examples #### Get a specific licitacion Retrieve full details for a single procurement by its ID. ```json { "action": "get-licitacion", "entityId": "4455-77-LE25" } ```` **Sample output:** ```json { "licitacion_id": "4455-77-LE25", "lic_name": "Adquisicion de equipamiento informatico", "lic_status": "Publicada", "lic_budget": "15000000", "lic_currency": "Peso Chileno", "lic_buyer_name": "HOSPITAL DE CHILLAN", "date_publicacion": "2025-06-15 10:30:00", "date_cierre": "2025-06-25 15:00:00", "lic_description": "Adquisicion de notebooks y monitores..." } ``` #### Extract all published licitaciones from a date range Bulk-extract tenders with filters.
