The most complete World Bank procurement scraper available. It returns both open and past procurement notices (tenders) and awarded contracts, with the winning supplier, supplier country, contract amount, and the full evaluated-bidder list parsed out of the notice, and gives you filters for country, keyword and notice type to target exactly the opportunities you need.

What it does

The actor pulls World Bank procurement data in one of two modes and writes one normalized record per item to the run's dataset:

• notices mode: procurement notices (open and past tenders) for Bank-financed projects. For Contract Award notices, the actor parses the notice body to extract the winning supplier, supplier country, contract price and currency, contract duration, and the structured awardedBidders and evaluatedBidders lists.
• awards mode: awarded contracts with the winning supplier, supplier country and contract amount in USD, plus project and procurement metadata.

You can filter by borrower country, a description keyword, and (in notices mode) a notice type. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 15 procurement notices for Kenya.

{
  "mode": "notices",
  "country": "Kenya",
  "maxRecords": 15
}

Every input field is optional. With an empty input the actor returns the most recent procurement notices across all countries (default maxRecords is 10).

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~world-bank-procurement-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"notices","country":"Kenya","searchQuery":"water","maxRecords":50}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~world-bank-procurement-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"awards","country":"India","maxRecords":200}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/world-bank-procurement-scraper \
  --input '{"mode":"notices","noticeType":"Invitation for Bids","country":"Brazil"}'

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

This actor is pay-per-event. You are only charged for the events below. See the pricing tab for current prices.

Event	When it fires	Price
apify-actor-start	Once per run, when the run starts. Covers fixed compute. Applies to every run, including free plans.	$0.02
result	Per notice or award record written to the dataset.	$0.012
ai_summary	Per record for which the withAiSummary add-on produces a usable AI summary. Opt-in, paid plans only.	$0.012
ai_extract	Per record for which the withAiExtract add-on produces usable structured data. Opt-in, paid plans only.	$0.012

• Per-run base fee. Every run is charged apify-actor-start once, then result per record.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge a result for it. Empty runs return no results.
• 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, and the AI add-ons are disabled. Upgrade for higher maxRecords and add-ons.
• AI add-ons are opt-in and default off. They are charged only when they produce usable output, so records with no AI result are never billed for it.
• Two modes, one run each. Pick notices or awards per run; run the actor twice to pull both.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing. Loosen filters (remove country or noticeType, or widen searchQuery). Zero-result runs are not charged.

Where do I get the winning supplier and amount? In awards mode every record carries supplierName, supplierCountry and awardAmountUsd. In notices mode, Contract Award notices also carry the parsed awardedSupplier, awardedContractPrice/awardedContractCurrency, and the full awardedBidders/evaluatedBidders lists.

Why is awardAmountUsd null on a notice? Notices publish the contract price in local currency (awardedContractPrice + awardedContractCurrency). The USD amount comes from awards mode. Missing values are returned as null, never invented.

What is the difference between notices and awards mode? Notices are the tender/opportunity records (including Contract Award notices). Awards are the World Bank's structured awarded-contract dataset with USD amounts and supplier IDs.

Is this an official World Bank tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the World Bank. It reads only data that is publicly available on the World Bank procurement and projects sites.
