🇪🇸 Spain BOE Gazette Scraper

🚀 Turn any day of Spain's official gazette into a clean feed of items. A single weekday like 2024-01-02 returns 115 individual entries, each with its BOE identifier, title, section, department and document links.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 15 fields per record · daily summaries from 2024 onward · every section of the Boletín Oficial del Estado

The Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) is the official gazette of the Government of Spain. Every working day it publishes laws, royal decrees, appointments, public sector tenders, grants, judicial notices and other official announcements. This Actor reads the keyless Open Data summary feed published by the Agencia Estatal BOE and flattens the nested daily structure into one tidy record per gazette item.

You give it a date or a date range. It walks the diary, section, department and epigraph hierarchy and returns each item with a stable identifier in the BOE-x-YYYY-N form, the full Spanish title, the section and department it belongs to, the publication date, and direct links to the PDF, HTML and XML versions of the document.

📋 What the Spain BOE Gazette Scraper does

• Reads the official daily summary from the Agencia Estatal BOE Open Data API.
• Accepts a single date (YYYYMMDD) or an inclusive date range.
• Flattens the nested diary, section, department and epigraph tree into flat records.
• Returns one record per gazette item with its BOE identifier and Spanish title.
• Captures the section code and name, department code and name, and epigraph.
• Provides direct PDF, HTML and XML links for each item.
• Skips empty days (weekends and holidays) without failing the run.
• Lets you filter by one or more BOE sections.

⚙️ Input

Single date:

{
"date":"20240102",
"maxItems":50
}

Date range, only general provisions and other dispositions:

{
"startDate":"20240102",
"endDate":"20240105",
"sections":["1","3"],
"maxItems":500
}

⚠️ Good to Know: the BOE is not published every calendar day. Sundays and most public holidays have no edition, so those days return zero items. Pick a weekday when testing, and use a range if you want continuous coverage across a span.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• Keyless official source. Data comes straight from the Agencia Estatal BOE Open Data feed.
• Flat records. The nested daily tree is unwound so every item stands on its own row.
• Stable identifiers. The BOE-x-YYYY-N form lets you deduplicate and join across runs.
• Three document links per item, so you can grab the readable page or the machine readable XML.
• Empty days handled cleanly, so weekend and holiday gaps never break a range run.
