This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

This Actor reads Dominican Republic public procurement from the open data API of the **Dirección General de Contrataciones Públicas (DGCP)**, the data behind comprasdominicana.gob.do: **procurement processes** (buyer, modality, estimated amount, deadlines, link) and **contracts** (supplier name and RPE registry number, value, award date, link).

### What it does

- **Processes**: 7,605 published in September 2026 when this was verified — code, title, description, buyer and code, modality, status, goods/services/works, estimated amount and currency, publication, bid deadline, opening and estimated award dates, MIPYME reservation, link.
- **Contracts**: 725,971 in the source — contract and process code, buyer, supplier name and RPE, status, award date, value, payment terms, link.
- **Filters at the source**: date window, buyer code, process code, modality, status, MIPYME (processes) and supplier RPE (contracts); keyword in title and description.

### Use cases

| You need to | How this Actor does it |
| --- | --- |
| Find open Dominican tenders | Processes, recent days, read the bid deadline |
| See who wins government contracts | Contracts, group by supplier RPE |
| Track one ministry or hospital | Buyer code on processes or contracts |
| Follow one supplier | Contracts with its RPE |

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it controls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | string | `processes` | `processes` or `contracts` |
| `dateFrom` | string | six days ago | First publication (processes) or award (contracts) day |
| `dateTo` | string | today | Last day, inclusive |
| `keyword` | string | empty | Title and description |
| `buyerCode` | integer | empty | DGCP purchasing unit code |
| `processCode` | string | empty | One process, or its contracts |
| `modality` | string | empty | Exact modality (processes) |
| `status` | string | empty | Exact status (processes) |
| `mipymeOnly` | boolean | `false` | MIPYME-reserved processes |
| `supplierRpe` | string | empty | Supplier RPE (contracts) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `500` | Caps how many records are returned, and so the cost |

```json
{
    "mode": "contracts",
    "dateFrom": "2026-09-20",
    "dateTo": "2026-09-26"
}
```

### Output (contract)

```json
{
    "contractCode": "INFOTEP-2026-02309",
    "processCode": "INFOTEP-DAF-CD-2026-1683",
    "description": "Contratación de servicios para la ejecución de acciones formativas de Elaboración De Productos De Repostería Básica, a través de un Centro Operativo del Sistema (COS) de la Dir. Regional Cibao Sur",
    "buyer": "Instituto Nacional de formación Técnico Profesional",
    "supplierName": "Centro de Educación Integral Padre Fantino, SRL",
    "supplierRpe": "16550",
    "status": "Activo",
    "awardDate": "2026-09-23T18:11:56.1566667Z",
    "currency": "DOP",
    "contractValue": 151575,

}
```

### Coverage and limits

- Texts are in Spanish, as published.
- Contracts carry no date filter at the source; the Actor walks them from the newest award back and stops once a page lies wholly before the window.

### Pricing

Pay per event: one `tender-scraper` event per record written to the dataset. The optional schema.org block is charged once per run.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "maxItems": 500
}' |
apify call publicmoney/dgcp-dominican-republic-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,publicmoney/dgcp-dominican-republic-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
