IDB Tenders Scraper — Latin America Procurement & Awards

IDB Tenders Scraper pulls public procurement notices from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB / IADB) — open tenders, specific & general procurement notices, requests for expressions of interest (EOI), requests for information, and contract awards — straight from the official IDB open-data API. Get clean, structured JSON for B2G lead generation, tender alerts, and procurement intelligence across 26 Latin America & Caribbean countries.

The IDB is the largest source of development financing for Latin America & the Caribbean, funding billions in works, goods and consulting contracts every year. This actor turns that firehose into a filterable, always-fresh feed.

How much does it cost to scrape IDB tenders?

The actor reads a lightweight JSON API, so runs are fast and cheap — pulling a few hundred notices costs a small fraction of a compute unit plus the per-result price shown on this page. Use Max results and a tight Date range to keep costs predictable.

Tips

• For daily tender alerts, set Date range = Last 24 hours and schedule the actor every morning.
• For market intelligence, set What to fetch = Contract awards and a wide date range.
• Keyword search is bilingual — combine English and Spanish/Portuguese terms for full coverage.
• Country names must be the IDB English spelling in UPPERCASE; case is normalised for you but spelling must match.
