💡 Tips & tricks

• 📅 For daily monitoring, run with daysBack: 1 on a 24h schedule. Costs near-zero at most pricing tiers.

• 🗂️ For specific verticals, combine multiple CPV codes — they're OR-combined.
• 🧪 For exploration, use scope: ACTIVE to skip expired notices.
• 🛡️ The query advanced field lets you build any TED expert-search query — see TED Expert Search for the syntax.

❓ FAQ

Q: How current is the data? A: Notices appear within minutes of publication on TED's Official Journal Supplement.

Q: How far back can I go? A: TED's online corpus covers notices from 2014 onward; older notices are archived. scope: ALL gives access to everything.

Q: Are personal contact details included? A: TED publishes only organisational addresses for contracting authorities. There are no personal phone numbers or photos in the dataset.

Q: What's the licence on the resulting data? A: TED editorial content is CC BY 4.0 (attribute the EU as the source). Metadata is CC0 (public domain). Both allow commercial reuse.

Q: Why might total_value be null? A: Many contract notices (cn-standard) don't disclose the estimated value before bidding. Contract award notices (can-standard) almost always do.
