## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## SAM Vendor Pursuit Intelligence

Extract federal opportunity pursuit leads from SAM.gov search inputs, with agency, NAICS, deadline, set-aside, contact, and warning fields.

### What it returns

- Normalized SAM.gov opportunity pursuit rows with source URLs, agency/office, NAICS, set-aside, response deadline, place of performance, contacts, pursuit signals, confidence, and relevance score.
- Run-level warnings when SAM auth is unavailable, filters return no rows, or a date cannot be sent to SAM.gov.
- Deterministic dry-run/sample rows for smoke tests and Apify UI previews.
- A local `output/result.json` file for reproducible smoke tests.

### Input

Use `input.json` as the quickstart.

- `keywords`: optional opportunity title/search terms.
- `naicsCodes`: optional NAICS filters sent as SAM `ncode`.
- `agency`: optional client-side agency/office filter.
- `postedFrom` and `postedTo`: optional `MM/DD/YYYY` or `YYYY-MM-DD` date filters.
- `samApiKey`: optional. Falls back to `SAM_API_KEY`.
- `emitSampleOnAuthMissing`: emits a clearly marked sample row when live auth is unavailable.
- `delivery`: `dataset` or `webhook`.
- `webhookUrl`: required only when `delivery=webhook` and `dryRun=false`.
- `dryRun`: skips SAM.gov requests and delivery, then writes deterministic sample output.

Set `dryRun=false` in Apify Cloud tasks when you want rows written to the default dataset or posted to a webhook. If no SAM key is configured, the actor warns and emits either a sample row or zero rows depending on `emitSampleOnAuthMissing`.

### Pricing

This actor is intended for PAY_PER_EVENT with a low actor-start fee and a default dataset item fee of $0.008 per result row. The result price is set above the HTTP-light operating floor because the row is positioned as a lead/intelligence unit rather than raw page scraping.

### Notes

The actor uses the public SAM.gov opportunities API directly. It does not use search engines or private portals, and it emits warnings instead of failing the whole run when auth is missing, a source times out, or filters return no useful rows.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "software"
    ],
    "naicsCodes": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("taroyamada/sam-vendor-pursuit-intelligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
