## 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.

### What you get

Each record is one planned procurement line item with:

- **programFolio** — procurement program identifier
- **itemDescription** and **itemName** — what the government plans to buy
- **cucopCode** / **partidaCode** — CUCOP product/service category codes
- **buyingAgency**, **agencyType**, **ministry**, **purchasingUnit** — who is buying
- **procedureType** — public tender, direct award or restricted invitation
- **procedureScope** and **law** — national/international, LAASSP/LOPSRM
- **estimatedAmount**, **amountMipymes**, **amountAnnual** — value in MXN
- **quantity**, **unitOfMeasure**, **state** and quarterly spend percentages
- **lastUpdated**, **source**, **observedAt**

You are only ever charged for real records that are returned. An empty run costs nothing.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| B2G sales | Suppliers finding which agencies plan to buy their products, and how much |
| Market intelligence | Analysts sizing government demand by category, agency or state |
| Bid planning | Contractors spotting upcoming public tenders early |
| Research & journalism | Reporters and academics studying public spending |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **Keywords** (for example `MEDICAMENTO`, `AMBULANCIA`) to keep only matching purchases.
2. For a whole product category, add a **CUCOP category code** (partida), and optionally pick a **Procedure Type** or **Buying Agency**.
3. Set **Max Procurement Records To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What data does this cover?**
Mexico's federal Annual Procurement Program (the government's official plan of what public agencies will buy this cycle), including estimated amounts, procedure type and product category.

**What is a CUCOP code?**
CUCOP is Mexico's official catalog of goods and services. Each purchase is classified by a category code (partida). Filtering by a partida is the fastest way to target a whole product or service category.

**Can I filter by procedure type?**
Yes. Choose public tender (Licitacion Publica), direct award (Adjudicacion Directa) or restricted invitation to focus on a specific contracting route.

**How fresh is the data?**
Records are read live at run time and each includes the source's last-updated timestamp and an observedAt field.

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Optional. Keep only planned purchases whose item description, product name, buying agency or unit contains one of these words (accent and case insensitive), for example "MEDICAMENTO", "AMBULANCIA", "COMPUTADORA". For deep keyword coverage combine with a CUCOP partida code.

## `partidas` (type: `array`):

Optional. Restrict results to one or more CUCOP category codes (5-digit partida especifica, for example "25301" medicines, "21101" office supplies). This is the fastest way to target a product category.

## `procedureType` (type: `string`):

Filter by contracting procedure. Public Tender = Licitacion Publica, Direct Award = Adjudicacion Directa, Restricted Invitation = Invitacion a Cuando Menos Tres Personas.

## `agencyName` (type: `string`):

Optional. Keep only purchases from a buying agency whose name contains this text, for example "SALUD", "PEMEX", "IMSS".

## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of planned procurement line items to collect.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "MEDICAMENTO"
