📋 What the GSA eLibrary Scraper does

URL or category input with optional details:

• 🔗 URL mode. Paste any GSA eLibrary search or listing URL.
• 📂 Category filter. Select from predefined GSA categories.
• 📝 Detail page toggle. Fetch full rate tables and contract specifics per contractor.

Each record includes company name, contract number, schedule, SIN codes, contractor address, contact person, phone, email, socioeconomic status, and contract dates.

💡 Why it matters: searching the GSA eLibrary manually means browsing paginated results and clicking into each contractor page. This Actor exports structured government contractor data at scale, ready for your BD pipeline, competitive analysis, or procurement workflows.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
startUrl	string	""	GSA eLibrary URL to scrape.
category	array	[]	Predefined GSA categories.
maxItems	integer	10	Max contractors. Free: up to 100. Paid: up to 1,000,000.
includeDetails	boolean	false	Fetch full rate tables and contract details.

Example: IT services contractors.

{
    "category": ["IT Professional Services"],
    "maxItems": 50
}

Example: scrape a specific eLibrary URL with details.

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/ElibMain/searchResults.do?searchText=cybersecurity",
    "includeDetails": true,

}

⚠️ Good to Know: GSA eLibrary is the official source for GSA Schedule contractor data. Enabling includeDetails fetches rate tables and full contract info per contractor, which is slower but much richer.
