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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Find active World Bank procurement notices by keyword, country, notice type, category, and deadline. This Actor uses the public World Bank procurement notices API and returns clean tender records for bid teams, consultants, international development vendors, and market researchers. ### What does this World Bank procurement scraper do? World Bank notices are public, but vendors still have to search by country, category, keyword, and deadline. World Bank Procurement Notice Monitor turns those searches into a scheduled Apify dataset with normalized fields, source links, contact details when listed, urgency labels, and fit scores. It requires no login and does not use a browser. Each dataset row is one public procurement notice from the World Bank API. The Actor also writes key-value outputs for scheduled workflows: - `RUN_SUMMARY`: counts, inputs, filters, and errors - `NOTICE_EXPORT`: all emitted procurement notices - `BUYER_BRIEF`: a short Markdown brief with highest-scoring notices - `SLACK_ALERTS`: compact alert objects for webhook or chat workflows ### What data can you extract? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `title` | Procurement notice title or bid description | | `country` | Country associated with the project | | `projectName` | World Bank project name | | `projectId` | Project identifier | | `noticeType` | Notice type, such as request for expression of interest | | `procurementMethod` | Procurement method when provided | | `procurementCategory` | Goods, works, consulting, or other category | | `postedDate` | Notice publication date | | `deadline` | Bid or response deadline when provided | | `contacts` | Public buyer contact details from the notice | | `fitScore` | Score based on keyword match, contacts, and urgency | | `sourceUrl` | Link to the original World Bank notice | ### Quick start 1. Enter keywords for the work you want to monitor. 2. Optionally filter by countries, notice types, or procurement categories. 3. Set `daysBack` and `maxResults`. 4. Run a small sample first, then schedule daily or weekly monitoring. For broad discovery, leave country and category filters empty. For bid-team workflows, use specific countries and categories to reduce noise. ### Input example ```json { "keywords": ["software", "data platform", "cybersecurity"], "countries": ["kenya", "ghana"], "noticeTypes": [], "procurementCategories": ["consulting services"], "daysBack": 60, "maxResults": 25, "includeExpired": false, "includeRawData": false } ```` ### Output example ```json { "source": "World Bank", "sourceId": "worldbank:demo-software-procurement", "searchKeyword": "software", "title": "Software development services for public financial management platform", "country": "Kenya", "projectName": "Digital Government Transformation Project", "noticeType": "Request for Expression of Interest", "procurementCategory": "Consulting Services", "postedDate": "2026-05-09T00:00:00.000Z", "deadline": "2026-05-24T00:00:00.000Z", "contacts": [ { "name": "Procurement Specialist", "email": "procurement@example.org" } ], "fitScore": 82, "fitReasons": [ "has contact details", "deadline is soon", "keyword appears in description" ], "urgency": "due-soon", "sourceUrl": "https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/procurement-detail/demo-software-procurement" } ``` ### Pricing This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Dry-run examples are not charged. Apify free-plan users get the first 25 procurement notice records without this Actor's custom event charge; after that, normal pay-per-event pricing and the user's run spending limit apply. | Event | Price | What counts | | --- | --- | --- | | `procurement-notice` | `$0.005` | One World Bank procurement notice written to the dataset | That is `$5 per 1,000` emitted notices, plus normal Apify platform usage. Use `maxResults`, country filters, and category filters to control cost. ### Common use cases - Monitor open tenders in specific countries. - Find consulting opportunities by technical keyword. - Track development-finance procurement in a sector. - Send new notices into Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable, or a CRM. - Build a weekly bid-review dataset for business-development teams. ### Limits and compliance The Actor uses the public World Bank procurement notices API. It does not require credentials, bypass access controls, or collect private user data. Always verify deadlines, eligibility, attachments, and procurement instructions on the linked World Bank notice before acting. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Search terms to query in World Bank procurement notices. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Optional exact country filters, for example Kenya or India. ## `noticeTypes` (type: `array`): Optional exact notice type filters. ## `procurementCategories` (type: `array`): Optional exact category filters, for example Consulting Services. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Only include notices posted within this many days. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum procurement notices to emit. ## `includeExpired` (type: `boolean`): Include notices whose submission deadline appears to have passed. ## `includeRawData` (type: `boolean`): Attach the raw World Bank API object to each dataset item. ## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`): Emit one deterministic sample item without calling the World Bank API. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "software", "consulting", "data" ], "countries": [], "noticeTypes": [], "procurementCategories": [], "daysBack": 30, "maxResults": 100, "includeExpired": false, "includeRawData": false, "dryRun": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
