World Bank Projects Scraper

Scrape World Bank development projects and operations by keyword, country, or status — project name, funding amount, sector, theme, status, board approval and closing dates, and detail links. Built on the official World Bank Projects API: no API key or setup needed.

Search a topic like renewable energy, get a clean, dated list of matching development operations — ready to export to CSV, Excel, or JSON, or to power a funding monitor.

Features

• Official, reliable source — reads the public World Bank Projects API.
• Filter your way — by keyword, ISO-2 country code, and project status (Active, Closed, Pipeline).
• Detail links — each row links straight to the project page on projects.worldbank.org.
• Monitoring-ready — schedule it on your keywords and catch new operations as they appear.

Use cases

• Funding & tender discovery — consultants, NGOs, and suppliers tracking development operations.
• Country & sector intelligence — build datasets of World Bank funding by country, sector, or theme.
• Portfolio monitoring — schedule daily and flag new or updated projects.
• Research — analyze development finance flows by region and status.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The World Bank Projects API is public and free; this Actor packages it into clean, filtered rows with detail links.

Can I list everything, not just a keyword? Yes — leave keywords empty and optionally filter by country and status.

Can I monitor for new projects? Yes — schedule the Actor (e.g. daily) with your keywords and status: "Active".
