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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Egypt Government Tenders Monitor Monitor public Egypt government tender announcements and export normalized procurement records for bid tracking, market research, sales intelligence, and alerting workflows. ### What this Actor does Egypt Government Tenders Monitor collects public tender announcements from selected Egyptian government procurement sources and converts them into structured dataset records. It is designed for users who need an easier way to track public procurement opportunities, filter tenders by keyword or category, and export clean records for spreadsheets, databases, alerts, or downstream enrichment. ### Who it is for - Companies tracking public procurement opportunities in Egypt - Sales and business development teams monitoring new tenders - Procurement consultants and bid teams - Market researchers analyzing public-sector demand - Developers building tender alerts, dashboards, or procurement data pipelines ### Sources | Source key | Source | Notes | |---|---|---| | `epsGags` | EPS-GAGS / EONEPS public tender announcements | Enabled by default. | | `mcit` | MCIT Egypt public tender listings | Optional source for ICT-related tender pages when reachable. | ### Data extracted Records can include: - Tender or operation reference number - Original tender title as published - Arabic title when detected - English title when available - Buyer or beneficiary entity when available - Procurement type - Operation type - Selection method - Publish date - Submission deadline - Status - Category guess - Keyword matches - Official source URL - Optional public detail fields from EPS-GAGS, when enabled - Scrape timestamp - Compliance notice Optional EPS-GAGS detail enrichment can add fields such as stage, envelope type, opening place, bidding files, lots, and item tables when those fields are publicly available. ### Example input ```json { "sources": ["epsGags"], "keywords": ["firewall", "حواسب", "software"], "categories": [], "maxItemsPerSource": 50, "includeEpsGagsDetails": false, "maxDetailItems": 10, "politeDelayMs": 1200, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30 } ```` ### Input options | Field | Type | Description | |---|---:|---| | `sources` | array | Public sources to collect. Use `epsGags` by default; add `mcit` when you want MCIT listings as well. | | `keywords` | array | Optional words or phrases to match in tender titles, references, categories, or buyer text. Leave empty to return all visible records. | | `categories` | array | Optional normalized categories such as `it_software`, `medical`, `logistics`, `vehicles`, `construction`, or `general_goods`. | | `maxItemsPerSource` | integer | Maximum number of records to emit from each source. | | `includeEpsGagsDetails` | boolean | Enables public EPS-GAGS detail enrichment for a capped number of records. Disabled by default to keep runs lighter. | | `maxDetailItems` | integer | Maximum EPS-GAGS detail records to enrich when detail enrichment is enabled. | | `politeDelayMs` | integer | Delay between source requests. Useful for respectful collection. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | Timeout for each request. | ### Example output ```json { "id": "epsgags-12345", "source_key": "epsGags", "source": "EPS-GAGS / EONEPS", "operation_no": "12345", "original_title": "توريد أجهزة وشبكات", "title_ar": "توريد أجهزة وشبكات", "title_en": null, "procurement_type": "مناقصة عامة", "operation_type": "توريد", "selection_method": "Public tender", "publish_date": "2026-01-01", "submission_deadline": "2026-01-15", "status": "Published", "category_guess": "it_hardware", "keyword_matches": ["حواسب"], "url": "https://www.eps-gags.gov.eg/...", "source_url": "https://www.eps-gags.gov.eg/...", "detail_enriched": false, "scraped_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "compliance_notice": "Verify all tender details on the official source before making bidding decisions." } ``` ### Common use cases - Track new public tender announcements in Egypt - Monitor tenders matching specific products, services, or keywords - Build internal bid-alert workflows - Export procurement opportunities to spreadsheets or CRMs - Analyze public-sector demand by category or buyer entity - Feed tender records into dashboards or business intelligence tools ### Tips for best results - Start with `epsGags` only for the most reliable default run. - Use keyword filters for targeted monitoring, especially when tracking a specific product or service line. - Keep detail enrichment disabled for broad scans and enable it only for smaller, capped runs. - Increase `politeDelayMs` for larger runs. - Always open the official source URL before making bidding, legal, or commercial decisions. ### Limitations This Actor collects selected public pages visible without login. It does not access private supplier accounts, submit forms, bypass CAPTCHA, bypass access controls, scrape paywalled content, or provide legal or bid-qualification advice. The Actor is not affiliated with any Egyptian government entity. Output completeness depends on what each public source exposes at run time. Users should verify deadlines, documents, eligibility requirements, and submission instructions on the official source before acting. ### Changelog - `0.2` Added normalized public tender output, keyword/category filtering, and optional EPS-GAGS public detail enrichment. # Actor input Schema ## `sources` (type: `array`): Conservative public sources to collect. EPS-GAGS is enabled by default. MCIT is optional/experimental because the source can be unavailable from some cloud networks. v1 intentionally excludes sources that returned 403 or need login/session access. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Optional words/phrases to match in tender titles, reference numbers, categories, or buyer text. Empty means all records. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Optional normalized categories, e.g. it\_software, medical, logistics, vehicles, food, agriculture, construction, facilities, real\_estate, general\_goods. ## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`): Maximum records to emit from each source. ## `includeEpsGagsDetails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, safely opens public EPS-GAGS detail records through the visible public form. Disabled by default to keep request volume low. ## `maxDetailItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum EPS-GAGS records to enrich with detail-page fields when detail enrichment is enabled. ## `politeDelayMs` (type: `integer`): Delay between source requests. Keep this non-zero for respectful collection. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-request timeout. ## `userAgent` (type: `string`): Descriptive User-Agent for polite public-page collection.
