## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## World Bank Projects & Tenders: Funded Work by Country

Development finance turned into something you can act on: the live procurement notices calling for bids and expressions of interest, with the deadline and the person who receives them, and the funded projects behind those notices. No key, no login, no proxy.

### Three modes

**Notices** is the actionable feed, one row per procurement notice:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `noticeType` | Request for Bids, Expression of Interest, Contract Award and so on |
| `submissionDeadline`, `daysUntilDeadline`, `isOpen` | When it closes, and whether it still stands |
| `country`, `projectId`, `projectName` | Where the work is and what funds it |
| `bidReference`, `description` | The reference to quote and what is being bought |
| `procurementMethod`, `procurementGroup` | How it will be awarded, and whether it is goods, works or consultancy |
| `contactName`, `contactOrganisation`, `contactEmail`, `contactPhone`, `contactAddress` | Who to approach |

**Projects** returns the funded pipeline: commitment split between the bank's lending arms, grant amount, total project cost, approval and closing dates, borrower, implementing agency and a summary.

**Countries** aggregates projects by country: how many, how much committed, average size and the most recent approval.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "notices",
  "country": "Kenya",
  "onlyOpen": true
}
```

Consultancy work in the water sector anywhere:

```json
{
  "mode": "notices",
  "searchTerm": "water",
  "noticeType": ["Expression of Interest"]
}
```

### Three things worth knowing

**The two endpoints fail in opposite directions, and both fail silently.** On projects an unrecognised filter is ignored and the full 28,000 project catalogue comes back looking like a filtered result. On notices a wrong filter returns nothing at all. Neither raises an error. Every filter here is therefore checked against the rows that actually come back, and a filter that did not take effect is reported rather than passed off as a clean answer.

**Country names are the source's own.** It writes "Viet Nam", not "Vietnam", and "Congo, Democratic Republic of". Ask for a name it does not recognise and the actor retries as a free text search, works out what the source calls that country, and tells you in the log, rather than reporting that a country with 240 projects has none.

**`onlyOpen` excludes contract awards.** An award carries no submission deadline because the work is already assigned, so it is not an opportunity. Turn `onlyOpen` off to see awards, which are useful for a different reason: they show who is winning work in a market.

### Pricing

Pay per record, `$0.004`. The first 2 rows of every run are free. Searches that match nothing, filters that remove everything, and country names the source does not use return a free note explaining what happened.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

notices = live procurement notices with deadlines and contacts, the actionable feed. projects = funded projects with commitments. countries = one row per country with project counts and money.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Short name as the source spells it, e.g. Kenya, Vietnam, Congo, Democratic Republic of. Empty covers every country.

## `searchTerm` (type: `string`):

Free text across the record, e.g. water, solar, road, hospital, consultancy.

## `noticeType` (type: `array`):

Keep only these, e.g. Request for Bids, Request for Expression of Interest, Contract Award. Matches on part of the name.

## `onlyOpen` (type: `boolean`):

On by default. Keeps only notices whose submission deadline has not passed.

## `status` (type: `string`):

Active, Closed, Pipeline or Dropped. Empty covers all.

## `minAmountUsd` (type: `integer`):

Projects mode. Drop projects committing less than this. 0 for no floor.

## `approvedSince` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Projects mode. Keep only projects approved on or after this date.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Cap on rows returned. Controls total cost.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "notices",
  "country": "Kenya",
  "searchTerm": "",
  "noticeType": [],
  "onlyOpen": true,
  "status": "",
  "minAmountUsd": 0,
  "approvedSince": "",
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "country": "Kenya",
    "onlyOpen": true,
    "maxResults": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/world-bank-projects-tenders").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "country": "Kenya",

    "maxResults": 100,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapemint/world-bank-projects-tenders").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "country": "Kenya",
  "onlyOpen": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}' |
apify call scrapemint/world-bank-projects-tenders --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapemint/world-bank-projects-tenders"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
