Greece Diavgeia Decisions Scraper

Greece Diavgeia Decisions Scraper

Scrape Greek public-sector decisions from the Diavgeia transparency portal, filtered by type, organization, or date range. Every decision comes with its full metadata, ADA code, and linked documents. No API key or registration needed. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Diavgeia is the official Greek government platform where every public-sector decision must be published by law. Manually searching the portal or using its API requires navigating complex type codes and organization IDs. This scraper reads the open data feed directly, lets you filter by decision type, issuing body, and submission date, and returns each matching decision in a consistent flat schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape Diavgeia for
Journalists	Monitor which public bodies are issuing spending approvals or contract awards this month.
Compliance officers	Audit a specific organization's published decisions for regulatory adherence.
Researchers	Build a dataset of legislative acts or regulatory decisions for policy analysis.
NGOs	Track environmental permits or urban planning approvals across regions.

What it does

This Actor collects decisions from the Diavgeia open data feed and returns each one as a flat row with its metadata, ADA code, and document links.

• 📋 Decision type filter: Narrow results to a single official Diavgeia type code, such as contract awards (Δ.1), budget approvals (Β.1.1), or legislative acts (Α.1.1).
• 🏛️ Organization filter: Limit the feed to one issuing body by its Diavgeia UID, for example a specific municipality or ministry.
• 📅 Date range filter: Set a from-date and to-date to collect decisions submitted within a specific window, or leave both empty to pull the newest entries.
• ⚡ Newest-first feed: The scraper walks the public feed in reverse chronological order, so you always get the most recent decisions first.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. Try removing the organization ID or widening the date range. Also confirm the decision type code is valid for the selected organization.

Why do I only get 10 items?

Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 items per run for preview. Upgrade to a paid plan to increase the maximum up to 1,000,000 decisions.

The organization UID I entered is not working.

Verify the UID against the official list at https://diavgeia.gov.gr/opendata/organizations.json. UIDs are numeric strings like '99202041', not organization names.

The date filter is not returning expected decisions.

Ensure your dates use the YYYY-MM-DD format. The filter uses the submission date of the decision, which may differ from the decision's effective date.
