AusTender Australian Contracts Scraper

AusTender Australian Contracts Scraper pulls structured data from AusTender (Australian Government) and returns it as a clean dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. It pulls Australian Government contract awards from AusTender for a date range and returns one row per contract with the agency, supplier, ABN, value, period and UNSPSC category, which is what suppliers and analysts use for market mapping.

No API key, no login. Click Start and it works with the prefilled input.

What does AusTender Australian Contracts Scraper do?

It queries AusTender (Australian Government) and returns one row per record, with only the fields that matter. Runs on the Apify platform, so you get an API endpoint, scheduling, monitoring and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks) without maintaining any infrastructure.

Why use it?

• AusTender (Australian Government) data without the plumbing: no proxy setup, no pagination code, no scraping maintenance.
• Schedule it to monitor changes daily or weekly and trigger alerts on new records.
• Feed it straight into a spreadsheet, database, or an AI agent via the Apify API or MCP server.
• Runs in seconds and returns a typed dataset that is ready for analysis.

How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per result item pushed to the dataset, and nothing for an empty run. Each run is a few seconds of compute, so typical costs are fractions of a cent per run, and the Apify free tier covers plenty of testing.

Tips and advanced options

• Raise maxResults for a bigger pull; the Actor pages through the source for you.
• Schedule it (e.g. every morning) and combine with a webhook to get only the new records.
• Add the Actor to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server for natural-language queries.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

• Is this legal? It uses publicly available data from AusTender (Australian Government). You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the source's terms.
• It returned nothing? AusTender returns nothing for very recent or future dates; use a range ending a few weeks ago.
• Something broken? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Data sources change and get fixed quickly.
• Need a custom variant (extra fields, a different source, a scheduled report)? Get in touch through the Issues tab.
