Latvia Procurement Results API — who wins public contracts in Latvia

Latvia Procurement Results API turns the open data of the Latvian Electronic Procurement System (EIS) into one clean row per awarded contract: winner, buyer, value, procedure, dates and a link to the EIS notice.

What it does

• Search - by winner, buyer, keyword, value, procedure and signing date.
• Lookup - every contract won or issued by given registration numbers.
• Monitor - only new or changed awards (competitor alerts).
• Streams yearly files with a low memory footprint.

Who it's for

• Bid managers and sales teams selling to the Latvian public sector
• Competitor and market analysts
• Journalists and anti-corruption teams
• KYB and supplier-risk teams

Pricing

Pay per event — you pay only for results, never for empty or failed lookups (not_found, invalid_input and source_error rows are free).

Event	What is charged	Price	Per 1,000
result	Award record	$0.004	$4
change-event	Change event	$0.03	$30

Apify platform usage (compute, storage) is included in the event prices. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spending; the Actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached. Apify subscribers on Bronze, Silver and Gold plans get automatic discounts on the event prices.

Use with MCP, n8n, Make and Zapier

• Apify MCP server — add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tiger19935/latvia-procurement-results to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client so an AI agent can call this Actor as a tool.
• n8n / Make / Zapier — use the Apify integration, pick Run Actor, select tiger19935/latvia-procurement-results and map the dataset items. Saved Tasks + a schedule turn it into a monitor with webhooks.
• API — POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tiger19935~latvia-procurement-results/runs or the official Apify clients for JavaScript and Python.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this data? The Actor only reads official open data from the Latvian Electronic Procurement System via data.gov.lv. Official open data; only legal entities are listed. Every row carries source and sourceUrl so you can attribute it. No captcha, login or personal data of private individuals is bypassed or collected.

How fresh is the data? Each row has dataAsOf - the publication date of the source file or API. If the publisher stops updating, dataAsOf stops moving and the daily self-test run fails, so you can tell stale data from a broken Actor.

What happens when nothing is found or the source is down? You get a not_found or source_error row and you are not charged. The Actor never fails silently with an empty dataset.

How do I get alerts? Create a Task with mode: monitor, schedule it (hourly or daily) and add a webhook, or connect the Apify integration in n8n, Make or Zapier. Only new, changed and removed records are returned and charged.

What is a row? One awarded contract per tender part (lot) and supplier.
