NYC City Record Procurement Bids, RFPs and Awards Scraper

Data source

Public City Record Online dataset on NYC Open Data (Socrata API, dataset dg92-zbpx), Procurement section, updated each business day.

What does NYC City Record Procurement Bids, RFPs and Awards Scraper do?

It returns New York City procurement notices as clean rows: open solicitations (bids, RFPs, RFQs), contract awards and intents to award. Each record has the title, agency, notice type, published date, due date, category, selection method, buyer contact name, email and phone, PIN, contract amount and vendor for awards, plus the plain text description and a link to the notice. Filters by keyword, agency, notice type and date keep runs small, and pricing is per result.

Why use it?

• Find city contracts that match what you sell before the due date.
• Monitor which vendors win awards at which agencies and for how much.
• Build a lead list of agency buyers with direct contact details.
• Replaces manual searching on the City Record site and spreadsheet exports.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set the filters.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new records automatically.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set maxResults to cap any run.

Limitations

• Covers the Procurement section only, not hearings, rules or other City Record sections.
• Fields depend on what the agency published, so contact, due date and documents are sometimes empty.
• Attached bid documents are linked only when the dataset provides a link.
• The NYC Open Data API occasionally returns a temporary 503. The Actor retries automatically.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads listings the site publishes for any visitor without a login and stores only business information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.
