English

What it does

• Reads public JSON from the official Guatecompras OCDS endpoint.
• Filters by country, category, keyword, status, year, month, and maximum results.
• Saves one normalized dataset item per tender.
• Omits contact points, emails, phones, tenderers, and suppliers to keep the output focused on procurement opportunities instead of personal data.

Suggested pricing

Use pay-per-result pricing at US$0.004 per tender (US$4.00 per 1,000 results).

Estimated platform cost is low because the Actor uses the official JSON API, one request per second, and no browser. A 1,000-result run needs about 50 API pages. On a small Apify container this should normally stay well under US$0.50 in platform usage, leaving room for Jose's 80% creator share after execution costs.
