PhilGEPS Open Opportunities Scraper

What it does

• Collects every row from the result pages and returns it as clean JSON, CSV, or Excel

Who it's for

• Suppliers and contractors tracking new government bids
• Market researchers studying Philippine public spending
• Journalists and watchdog groups
• Sales teams that sell to government agencies

locations	Extra provinces, cities or municipalities to match, such as Legazpi or Cebu City.
scrapeDetails	Open each notice for budget, agency, area of delivery, contacts and line items. Required for location filtering.
maxItems	Maximum opportunities to save. 0 = no limit.

Notes

• The site is built on ASP.NET postbacks, so the Actor uses a real browser (Playwright). Runs are slower than plain HTTP scrapers.
• Only public pages are read. No login, no personal data.
• Please keep run sizes reasonable to avoid putting load on a government server.
• Region and location filters are text matches on the notice's Area of Delivery and procuring entity. A few place names are shared by several areas (for example Naga or San Juan), so spot-check the results.
• Because the Actor must open each notice to check its location, runs with a region filter take longer than runs without one.
• If a run returns no rows, open the DEBUG_FIRST_RESULTS_PAGE and DEBUG_FIRST_RESULTS_SCREENSHOT records in the run's Key-value store and share them with the Actor's author.
