## 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

## NYC City Record Procurement Leads - Bids, RFPs & Awards

Search the **procurement section of the NYC City Record Online** on NYC Open Data (about 106,000 notices, updated every business day). The City Record is where NYC agencies are required to publish solicitations and contract awards.

Each result includes:

- notice title, **notice type** (solicitation, award, intent to award), agency, category and selection method
- City Record publication date, **bid/proposal due date** and procurement PIN
- **buyer contact name, phone and email**, and the address to request documents
- for awards: **contract amount** and the **winning vendor's name and address**
- special case reason and document links when published

Results are newest first. No API key, no CAPTCHA. Pricing: **$0.002 per notice + $0.0001 start**.

```json
{ "noticeTypes": ["Solicitation"], "categories": ["Construction"], "publishedAfter": "2026-10-01", "maxResults": 200 }
```

```json
{ "noticeTypes": ["Award"], "query": "software", "maxResults": 100 }
```

### Use cases

Bid alerts for contractors and vendors, competitive intelligence on who wins NYC contracts and for how much, sales leads (newly awarded vendors need subcontractors, suppliers, bonding and staffing), GovTech market research.

### Limits

NYC agencies only, procurement section only. Long HTML descriptions are not included; use the PIN or document link for full specs. Keywords are matched as substrings.

# API

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 = {
    "query": "",
    "names": [],
    "publishedAfter": "",
    "noticeTypes": [],
    "agencies": [],
    "categories": [],
    "selectionMethods": [],
    "pins": [],
    "maxResults": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/nyc-city-record-procurement-leads").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) => {

# 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}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pink_comic/nyc-city-record-procurement-leads"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
