ANAC Pubblicità a Valore Legale — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the anac-pl-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to
$HOME/.local/binon macOS/Linux and%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\binon Windows:bashnpx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install anac-pl --cli-only - Verify:
anac-pl-pp-cli --version - Ensure the reported install directory is on
$PATHfor the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.
If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:
bashgo install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/anac-pl/cmd/anac-pl-pp-cli@latest
If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
When to Use This CLI
Usa questo CLI per cercare e analizzare programmaticamente bandi, esiti e avvisi pubblicati da stazioni appaltanti italiane sulla piattaforma ANAC. Ideale per monitoraggio appalti, due diligence e analisi dati con CSV/SQL.
Anti-triggers
Do not use this CLI for:
- Non usare per la Banca Dati Nazionale Contratti Pubblici (BDNCP) o l'anagrafe CIG completa.
- Non usare per inviare o pubblicare avvisi: l'API e' di sola lettura.
Unique Capabilities
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Stato locale che si accumula
-
sync— Scarica e conserva gli avvisi in un database SQLite locale per analisi offline.Permette analisi ripetute e aggregazioni che l'API paginata non offre.
bashanac-pl-pp-cli sync --resources avvisi --param keywords=microsoft -
search-local— Cerca tra gli avvisi gia' sincronizzati in locale, senza rete.Risposte istantanee e componibili con jq/SQL.
bashanac-pl-pp-cli search-local microsoft -
export— Esporta gli avvisi sincronizzati in CSV o JSON per fogli di calcolo e pipeline dati.Porta i dati ANAC direttamente in strumenti di analisi.
bashanac-pl-pp-cli export avvisi
Command Reference
avvisi — Ricerca e consultazione di bandi, esiti e avvisi pubblicati sulla Piattaforma di Pubblicità a Valore Legale ANAC
anac-pl-pp-cli avvisi cronologia— Cronologia delle versioni/rettifiche di un avviso nel tempoanac-pl-pp-cli avvisi get— Dettaglio completo di un avviso/esito in formato JSON, incluse sezioni e committenteanac-pl-pp-cli avvisi search— Ricerca full-text di avvisi (bandi, esiti, altri avvisi) con ranking di rilevanza e filtri
news — Avvisi e comunicazioni della piattaforma
anac-pl-pp-cli news— Ultime news pubblicate sulla piattaforma
tipologie — Tassonomia delle tipologie di avviso (categorie, tipologie e codici scheda)
anac-pl-pp-cli tipologie— Mappa di categorie, tipologie e codici scheda usati per filtrare la ricercaanac-pl-pp-cli tipologie schede— Describes notice scheda codes (AD3, A1_29, P1_16...) from ANAC's codiceScheda.json, offline; unknown code exits 3
cig — CIG tools
anac-pl-pp-cli cig check <cig>...— Offline structure and check-digit validation (Simog, Simog v2/PCP, SmartCIG) with ANAC's published algorithm; a wrong check digit is a result (exit 0, checkvalidoper code,jq -e 'all(.valido)'in scripts); an argument that is not CIG-shaped (length ≠ 10, bad first char) is a usage error, exit 2
Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
bashanac-pl-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
Matching is word-based, not semantic: a query scores on words that appear in a command name (cerca, avvisi, cpv, affidamenti, tipologie, ...) or in its description, ignoring common Italian and English filler words. Use the words of the domain (bandi, cpv, cronologia, affidamenti) rather than paraphrases: which "trova bandi recenti" resolves to avvisi search, which "chi ha vinto l'appalto" returns exit 2.
Search caveats
These come from how the ANAC search service behaves, not from the CLI. Check them before trusting a result set.
- Terms are OR-ed by default.
--querywords are matched in OR and ranked by relevance: the top results are usually on topic, lower ones may contain a single term. Quotes and+are silently ignored;ANDis searched as a word and adds noise. For an exact phrase usecerca --mode esattaoravvisi search --fuzzy=false: words must be adjacent and in order, and a tipologia is required (the service answers HTTP 500 without one, so the CLI refuses first). Example:cerca -q "data visualization" --mode esatta -t affidamenti-diretti. - Sorting is ignored with
--query.--sort-field/--sort-dironly work without free text; the portal's own "Ordina per" has no effect either. To get recent notices, filter with--published-from GG/MM/AAAA. There is no filter on the deadline (dataScadenza). --schedatakes one tipologia, as a template number or name fromtipologie list(4orbandi,7oresiti). With comma-separated values the full-text search silently uses only the first, and notice codes such asAD3orA1_29make the service answer HTTP 500: the CLI rejects both.cerca --cpvis a text match, not a code filter: usecerca-avanzata --cpvto select by code. That flag also takes the official form with the check digit (30213000-5); the service ignores the check digit, and on a prefix it returns nothing, so the CLI refuses302-5.- The declared result count is an estimate that changes across pages and identical calls.
titolois oftennull(about 60% of notices, mostly AD3 and A2_* schede).descrizioneis always set: read the notice subject fromtemplates[].template.metadata.descrizione.- A mistyped CIG returns unrelated notices, not an error. Run
cig check <CIG>before searching by CIG;cerca --queryandavvisi search --keywordswarn on stderr when a CIG-shaped term fails the check digit. - Obscured notices may be missing. Results carry
oscurato/noteOscuramento; ANAC's guide says obscured notices can be excluded from search, and that the validation checks that trigger obscuring are currently disabled (alwaysfalsein September 2026 samples).

-
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
-
Filterable —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:bashanac-pl-pp-cli avvisi get mock-value --agent --select id,name,status -
Previewable —
--dry-runshows the request without sending -
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
-
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
-
Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests
Response envelope
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
json{ "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."}, "results": <data> }
Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
anac-pl-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive" anac-pl-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt anac-pl-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/anac-pl-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless ANAC_PL_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or ANAC_PL_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
stdout | Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> | Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> | POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
anac-pl-pp-cli profile save briefing --json anac-pl-pp-cli --profile briefing avvisi get mock-value anac-pl-pp-cli profile list --json anac-pl-pp-cli profile show briefing anac-pl-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
