What it does

The actor reads Argentina's national government procurement portal COMPR.AR (comprar.gob.ar), applies the keyword filter you pass as input, paginates through the published tenders, and writes one normalized record per tender to the run's dataset. Bid-opening dates are normalized to ISO 8601 (with the original raw string kept), missing source values are returned as null, and each record identifies the process number, procedure type, executing unit and financial-administrative service.

Data covers Argentine national government published tenders. Three optional AI add-ons (aiSummary, aiExtract, aiTranslation) can enrich each record; they are opt-in, billed per enriched record, and disabled on free Apify plans.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 3 tenders with the AI add-ons enabled.

{
  "maxTenders": 3,
  "withAiSummary": true,
  "withAiExtract": true,
  "withAiTranslate": true
}

Every input field is optional. Leave the AI add-ons off (default) to get the raw tender fields. Add keywords to narrow the pull to specific objects or agencies.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
keywords	array	no	(none)	Terms matched against each tender's object, process number and agency. Keep only tenders that match any term.
maxTenders	integer	no	10	Maximum tenders to return. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 per run.
withAiSummary	boolean	no	false	Add a plain-English AI summary of each tender. Paid add-on, disabled on free plans.
withAiExtract	boolean	no	false	Extract structured fields (buyer, value, deadline, category, eligibility) via AI. Paid add-on.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~comprar-argentina-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["laboratorio"],"maxTenders":10}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~comprar-argentina-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxTenders":50,"withAiSummary":true}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/comprar-argentina-scraper \
  --input '{"maxTenders":10}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per tender returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• AI add-ons billed separately. withAiSummary, withAiExtract and withAiTranslate each charge their own event only when they produce output, and are disabled on free plans.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxTenders.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The keyword filter matched nothing among the currently published tenders, or no tenders were published. Loosen or remove keywords. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why is estimatedAmount null? COMPR.AR does not publish an estimated amount for every tender. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

What is the difference between openDate and openDateRaw? openDate is the normalized ISO 8601 timestamp; openDateRaw is the original string exactly as shown on the portal.

Do the AI add-ons work on a free plan? No. The AI add-ons require a paid Apify plan and are disabled automatically for free users. The base tender fields are always returned.

Is this an official government tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the Argentine government or the COMPR.AR portal. It reads only data that is publicly available on comprar.gob.ar.
