## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## US Government Tenders, RFPs & Procurement API

Search and monitor public procurement opportunities across **federal, defense, state, municipal, and education networks** throughout the United States.

### Key Features

- **Universal Category Mapping**: Automatically normalizes disparate classification schemes (NAICS, PSC, CPV, and NIGP) into a single taxonomy (e.g. `Technology > Systems Integration & Cybersecurity`).
- **Entity Deduplication**: Detects opportunities cross-posted across state and regional purchasing groups.
- **Deadline Intelligence**: Computes `daysRemaining` countdowns for bid submission windows.
- **Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing**: Pay only for the records you extract ($0.025 per run + $0.003 per record).

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call magebase/us-government-tenders-rfp-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,magebase/us-government-tenders-rfp-api"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
