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 **Doffin** (doffin.no), Norway's national database for public procurement notices: every notice published in a date range, from planning and competition notices to results, with buyer, CPV codes, estimated value, deadline, winners, tenders received, lots, the procurement timeline and every field of the published eForm.

### What it does

- **Notices by publication day**: 1,359 published in September 2026 when this was verified; 68 on 15 September.
- Notice types as Doffin names them: `ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_COMPETITION`, `ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT`, `ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_INTENT`, `ADVISORY_NOTICE`, grouped under `PLANNING`, `COMPETITION` and `RESULT`.
- Result notices carry the winners and how many tenders were received.
- `noticeFields` holds the whole eForm as path/value pairs: procedure type, lots, award criteria, winners with organisation numbers, review body.
- **Filters** (applied by Doffin): keyword, notice type, status, contract nature, CPV code, location.

### Use cases

| --- | --- |

| Watch a market | `keyword`, e.g. renhold (cleaning), or `cpvCode` 45000000 |
| Work only on construction | `contractNature` `WORKS`: 276 in September 2026 |

### Input

### Coverage and limits

- Texts are in Norwegian, as published.
- Doffin pages through at most 1,000 hits per query; the Actor asks one day at a time, which stays well under that.
- Contact-point names, e-mails and phone numbers in the eForm are not included.

### Pricing

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

## CLI example

}' |
apify call publicmoney/doffin-norway-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
