How to scrape BOE data

This actor queries the official BOE Open Data API to deliver structured Spanish gazette data. The BOE is Spain's mandatory publication channel for all legislation, government appointments, public procurement, and official notices. Published daily (Monday through Saturday), the BOE is the definitive legal record of the Spanish state.

Search by keyword

Search in Spanish for best results. Examples: "vivienda" (housing), "empleo" (employment), "impuesto" (tax), "energia" (energy), "educacion" (education). The keyword filter matches against document titles and headings.

Filter by section

The BOE is organized into sections:

Filter by department

Narrow results to a specific ministry or institution: "HACIENDA" (Finance), "DEFENSA" (Defense), "INTERIOR", "TRABAJO" (Labor), "EDUCACION" (Education). Partial match, case-insensitive.

Date range monitoring

Set a date range to monitor specific periods. The BOE publishes Monday through Saturday (no Sunday edition). Perfect for daily or weekly monitoring of new regulations.

How much does it cost?

Can I use it as an API?

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("studio-amba/boe-scraper").call(run_input={
"searchQuery":"vivienda",
"section":"1",
"dateFrom":"2026-05-01",
"dateTo":"2026-05-22",
"maxResults":50,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(f"{item['identificador']} | {item['titulo'][:80]}")

Limitations

• The BOE API returns summaries by date. Keyword filtering is done client-side after fetching.
• No Sunday editions -- the BOE is not published on Sundays.
• Very large date ranges (months) will make many API calls; use maxResults to cap output.
