CanadaBuys Scraper: Canada Government Tenders & Bid Alerts

Get daily alerts for new Government of Canada tenders that match your trade, region or keywords. You get clean JSON, CSV or Excel straight from the official CanadaBuys open data, with no login, no scraping and no blocked requests.

Use it to:

• 🔔 Get daily bid alerts for your category. Schedule it every morning with onlyNew and you'll only see tenders you haven't seen before, including amendments.
• 🏗️ Find construction or services work in your province. Filter by categories and regions, for example services work in Ontario.
• 💻 Track IT and professional-services RFPs by UNSPSC prefix, for example 43 or 8111.
• 📊 Feed your CRM, Slack or Google Sheets with Apify integrations, or with Make or Zapier.

Why this Actor:

• It reads the official, licensed government feed (Open Government Licence – Canada), so there's nothing to break.
• Output is bilingual (language: "fr").
• Contact-person details are removed, so the data contains organisation-level information only.

How much does it cost?

You pay per event: a small fee per run start plus a fee per result. A daily alert that returns 20 new items costs only cents per day. Use maxResults or the run's Max total charge to cap spend.
