## 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

## 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.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | string\[] | Search terms. Leave empty to list all projects. |
| `countryCode` | string | ISO-2 country code filter, e.g. `IN`, `NG`, `BR`. |
| `status` | enum | `Active`, `Closed`, `Pipeline`, or any. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max projects per keyword. Default 200. |

#### Example

```json
{
  "keywords": ["education", "renewable energy"],
  "countryCode": "IN",
  "status": "Active",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "projectId": "P511160",
  "name": "Zimbabwe Renewable Energy Procurement Technical Assistance Project",
  "country": "Zimbabwe",
  "region": "Eastern and Southern Africa",
  "totalAmount": 120000000,
  "lendingCost": 120000000,
  "status": "Active",
  "boardApprovalDate": "2026-11-26T00:00:00Z",
  "closingDate": "2027-06-30",
  "sector": "Energy and Mineral Resources",
  "theme": "Environment, Infrastructure, and Natural Resource Management",
  "url": "https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P511160",
  "keyword": "renewable energy",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-11T19:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Download the dataset as **JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML**, or pull it via the Apify API.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.01 per run start** (per GB of run memory) plus **$1.00 per 1,000 projects**. You only pay for projects actually returned. See the **Pricing** tab for current rates.

### 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"`.

### Disclaimer

This Actor uses the **public World Bank Projects API**. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the World Bank Group. The data is public; you are responsible for how you use it.

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

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

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "renewable energy"
    ],
    "maxItems": 200
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("muzafferkadir/worldbank-projects-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "keywords": ["renewable energy"],
    "maxItems": 200,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("muzafferkadir/worldbank-projects-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "renewable energy"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}' |
apify call muzafferkadir/worldbank-projects-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,muzafferkadir/worldbank-projects-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
