🏦 World Bank Projects Funding Registry

One funding_record per World Bank operation (project ID, title, country/region, status, financing amount when the API supplies it, board/closing dates, borrower, implementing agency, official link) from the official search.worldbank.org v3 API. Amounts are copied verbatim when present and honest null otherwise — never invented.

Public, robots-honoured.

Output is one world_bank_project row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one funding record (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.05 per funding record). Source: search.worldbank.org.

No login, no API key and no CAPTCHA solving are involved: the source is read logged-out with an identified contact User-Agent.

What you get

One funding_record per entity, deduplicated on the source-native id. Fields the source does not publish are honest null. A run_receipt row carries the source URL, scope, reconciliation counts, and delivered/duplicate totals.

Every run also writes a RUN_RECEIPT record to its key-value store with the source checks it made and the counts it charged — diagnostics never land in the paid dataset.

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "maxRecords": 10
}

The sample run charged exactly: 1 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 10 × $0.05 funding_record = $0.52 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed. If you leave maxRecords out, the run delivers at most 10 rows (the schema default); pass a number up to 500000 for a bigger export. An explicit value is always honoured up to that maximum.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "maxRecords": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $0.27 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5 × $0.05).

3. A full-size run

{
  "maxRecords": 5000
}

Up to 5000 rows — about $250.02 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5000 × $0.05) if the source has that many; maxRecords goes up to 500000.

4. A filtered run

{
  "maxRecords": 10,
  "searchText": "irrigation",
  "fieldMatch": {
    "country": "Kenya",
    "status": "Active"
  }
}

Active World Bank projects in Kenya mentioning irrigation (the World Bank API filters by exact country and status, plus full text); the source applies this filter before paging and before the maxRecords cap, so a match deep in the dataset is found, the reconciled count is the matched count, and only delivered matches are billed. A confirmed no-match ends EMPTY_SELECTION with nothing charged.

🔧 How it works

Source. The actor reads search.worldbank.org — endpoints: https://search.worldbank.org/api/v3/projects. Public pages and feeds only; nothing behind a login.

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. robots.txt is read first and a disallowed path is never fetched. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent. Pacing: CRAWL_DELAY=0.0.

Charging. Each funding record is charged at the moment it is pushed (funding_record); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

🔧 How it works

How it behaves

The v3 projects API is paged (rows/os) and the API total reconciled against delivery. Financing amounts (totalamt/grantamt) are carried only when the payload supplies them. A column-drift on the id/title keys fails loud. Streaming, bounded to maxRecords.

What is not done. No login, no cookie or CAPTCHA bypass, no private or personal-account data, no browser automation.

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Funding Record (funding_record)	$0.05	$0.045	$0.04	$0.0335

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

• 8 funding records: $0.02 start + 8 × $0.05 = $0.42
• 10 funding records: $0.02 start + 10 × $0.05 = $0.52
• 25 funding records: $0.02 start + 25 × $0.05 = $1.27

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 1024 MB.

Yield on the sample run: CAPPED: delivered 10 of 28147 available source rows (maxRecords=10) — a buyer bound, not an outage. billable=10 [requested_cap=10, delivered=10]. maxRecords is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by search.worldbank.org. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, keeps to the source's robots rules (checked on every run), identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (search.worldbank.org) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to maxRecords (default 10). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other public funding registries actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers search.worldbank.org. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source (CRAWL_DELAY=0.0) and honours its robots rules; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (maxRecords) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
