}

The Actor also writes a STATS record to the default key-value store with page, result, filter, duplicate, detail, failure, and duration counts.

How to Use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter a product, service, industry, buyer, or location keyword.
3. Keep the default 20-result prefill for a quick first run.
4. Enable residential proxies if the portal rejects datacenter traffic.
5. Enable includeDetails only when tender dossier links are required.
6. Run the Actor and inspect the Output table.
7. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or consume it through the API.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("scraper_guru/morocco-public-tenders-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "informatique",
    "category": "Services",
    "maxItems": 100,
    "includeDetails": False,
})

for tender in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(tender["reference"], tender["buyer"], tender["deadlineDate"])

Pricing

The intended pricing is $0.005 per saved tender, or $5 per 1,000 results, plus the small Actor-start charge shown by Apify. Filtered rows, duplicates, and failed requests do not create dataset-result charges.

Proxy traffic and compute usage depend on the selected Apify plan. Start with a small result limit before enabling detail enrichment.

Data Notes

• The source portal uses a web application firewall. Browser automation and an Apify residential proxy may be necessary.
• The Actor collects public procurement notices without authentication and does not submit bids.
• includeDetails collects public links; it does not download or parse tender PDF/ZIP contents.
• Missing source fields remain null or empty arrays rather than being guessed.
• Use reasonable schedules and limits to avoid unnecessary load on the official portal.

FAQ

Which Moroccan tenders can I collect?
The Actor targets public consultations visible on MarchesPublics.gov.ma, including works, supplies, and services.

Can I monitor one ministry, public company, or municipality?
Yes. Use searchQuery for source-side search and buyer for an exact contains filter.

Can I filter by city or region?
Yes. Enter a city, province, or region in location.

Why does the Actor use Playwright?
The portal uses browser sessions, a web application firewall, and stateful WebForms pagination that plain HTTP requests do not reliably handle.

Are tender documents included?
Enable includeDetails to collect public dossier links and published file sizes where available. The files themselves are not downloaded.

Can I schedule tender alerts?
Yes. Save the input as an Apify Task, run it daily, and connect the dataset to email, Slack, Google Sheets, a webhook, or your CRM.
