## 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).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README
## BOPV Scraper — Basque Country Official Gazette
Scrape all disposiciones (regulations, grants, tenders, appointments) from the Boletín Oficial del País Vasco (BOPV) at [euskadi.eus](https://www.euskadi.eus). Extract structured data from official XML bulletin summaries with keyword and section filters.
> **No browser required.** Parses official XML files directly — lightweight, fast, and reliable.
### Why use this scraper
- **Official source** — pulls directly from the Basque Government's XML bulletin summaries at euskadi.eus
- **Complete coverage** — captures every disposición: regulations, grants, subsidies, appointments, public tenders, and administrative notices
- **Keyword filtering** — search for specific topics like "subvención", "licitación", "educación", or any term in the title
- **Section filtering** — narrow results to specific sections (Autoridades y Personal, Disposiciones Generales, Otras Disposiciones, etc.)
- **Fast and cheap** — processes 500+ items in under 20 seconds at ~$0.01 per run
- **Direct links** — each result includes a link to the full text on euskadi.eus
### Use cases
- **Grant and subsidy monitoring** — track new subvenciones and ayudas published by Basque Government departments
- **Regulatory intelligence** — monitor new laws, decrees, and orders affecting your industry in Euskadi
- **Public tender discovery** — find procurement opportunities published in the BOPV
- **HR and appointments tracking** — follow staffing changes across Osakidetza, UPV/EHU, and government departments
- **Legal compliance** — stay updated on regulatory changes relevant to businesses operating in the Basque Country
- **Academic research** — bulk download gazette data for political science, legal, or public administration research
### Input parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `monthsBack` | How many months of bulletins to fetch | 3 |
| `keyword` | Keyword filter on title (case-insensitive) | all |
| `seccionFilter` | Filter by section name (partial match) | all |
| `maxItems` | Maximum items to return (0 = unlimited) | 0 |
### Output fields
| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `boletin` | Bulletin number (sequential within year) |
| `anio` | Year |
| `mes` | Month |
| `seccion` | Section name (e.g. AUTORIDADES Y PERSONAL, OTRAS DISPOSICIONES) |
| `subseccion` | Subsection name |
| `organismo` | Issuing body (e.g. DEPARTAMENTO DE EDUCACIÓN, OSAKIDETZA) |

}
````
### Example output
```json
{
"boletin": 1,
"anio": 2026,
"mes": 1,
"seccion": "OTRAS DISPOSICIONES",
"subseccion": "",
"organismo": "DEPARTAMENTO DE EDUCACIÓN",

### Cost estimation
| Scenario | Months | Items | Duration | Estimated cost |
|----------|--------|-------|----------|----------------|
| Quick check | 1 | ~500 | ~4s | ~$0.002 |
| Quarter scan | 3 | ~1,500 | ~19s | ~$0.01 |
| Full year | 12 | ~6,000 | ~60s | ~$0.03 |
Memory: 4,096 MB (default). Could run on less since it's XML-only.

| Keyword | What you'll find |
|---------|-----------------|
| `subvención` | Grant and subsidy announcements |
| `licitación` | Public tender notices |
| `convocatoria` | Calls for applications (jobs, grants, exams) |

### Notes
- Bulletin numbering is sequential within the year (~245 bulletins/year, Mon–Fri)
- The scraper auto-discovers the current bulletin from the official Ultimo.xml endpoint
- XML files are encoded in ISO-8859-1
- No proxy required — datacenter IPs work fine
- For continuous monitoring, schedule daily runs via the Apify Scheduler
