## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

## 🇺🇦 Ukraine Prozorro Tenders Scraper

> 🚀 **Export live Ukrainian public tenders in seconds.** Pull tenders straight from the Prozorro OpenProcurement registry with full details: value, buyer, status, and dates.

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-06-08 · **📊 Up to 25 fields** per record · official OpenProcurement API · live tender feed

Turn Ukraine's Prozorro public procurement system into clean, structured records you can drop into a bid-tracking sheet, a market-research database, or a supplier-intelligence tool. The Actor reads the public tender feed newest-first (or oldest-first), then fetches the full detail for each tender it collects.

Coverage is the live public procurement registry as Prozorro publishes it through the OpenProcurement API: tender ID, status, procurement method and type, value with currency, the buying entity and its location, tender and enquiry periods, CPV codes, and modified dates. Data is read live, so every run reflects the registry at run time.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Suppliers and bid managers | Track new tenders in your category |
| Market researchers and analysts | Measure procurement volume and value |
| Procurement intelligence platforms | Seed a database with live tender data |
| Journalists and watchdogs | Monitor public spending in real time |

### 📋 What the Ukraine Prozorro Tenders Scraper does

This Actor reads the public Prozorro OpenProcurement tender feed and returns one clean record per tender:

- **Feed direction** — read newest-first to catch the most recently modified tenders, or oldest-first to walk the registry from the beginning.
- **Full detail per tender** — for every tender ID in the feed, the Actor fetches the complete record (value, buyer, periods, CPV codes, and more).

You control how many records come back, and every record carries a `scrapedAt` timestamp.

### 🎬 Full Demo (_🚧 Coming soon_)

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `descending` | boolean | When enabled, the feed is read newest first so you get the most recently modified tenders. When disabled, the feed is read oldest first from the start of the registry. Defaults to `true`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | How many tenders to return. Free plan is capped at 10. |

**Example 1 — most recent tenders**
```json
{
    "descending": true,
    "maxItems": 100
}
````

**Example 2 — walk the registry from the start**

```json
{
    "descending": false,
    "maxItems": 500
}
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** the Actor first pages a lightweight listing feed to collect tender IDs, then fetches full details for each one. Newest-first is the default and is best for monitoring; oldest-first is best for backfilling a historical dataset.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need an account or API key?**
No. The Actor reads the public Prozorro OpenProcurement API, which needs no login or key.

**Newest first or oldest first?**
Use `descending: true` (the default) to monitor the latest tenders, or `descending: false` to backfill from the start of the registry.

**What is the difference between `tenderId` and `id`?**
`tenderId` is the human-readable Prozorro reference (e.g. UA-2024-...); `id` is the internal OpenProcurement record identifier.

**Are values in a single currency?**
Each record carries its own `valueCurrency`. Most tenders are in UAH, but always read the currency field.

**What are CPV codes?**
Common Procurement Vocabulary codes that classify what is being procured. They come as an array per tender.

**Why is `buyerNameEn` sometimes empty?**
Not every buying entity provides an English name. The Actor passes through what the source supplies.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run reads the live feed and detail endpoints, so it reflects the registry at run time.

**Can I export to Excel or CSV?**
Yes. Apify lets you download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

**Can I schedule this?**
Yes. Use Apify Schedules to pull new tenders on any cadence.

**Is this affiliated with Prozorro?**
No. This is an independent tool that reads only publicly available data.
