TED Tenders Scraper

Every EU public tender, contract award and planned purchase published on TED — with buyers, CPV codes, estimated values, deadlines, lots and winners — as clean JSON.

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the official journal of European public procurement: every public contract above the EU thresholds, from all 27 member states, the EEA and beyond, is published there. This Actor scrapes TED by keyword, buyer country, CPV code, notice type and publication date, from any ted.europa.eu search or notice URL, or from an expert query. Each notice comes back with its title in English or its original language, description, notice type, buyer (name, country, city, type and website), CPV codes and the main CPV category in English, procedure type, contract nature (works, supplies or services), estimated value and currency, the deadline for tenders or requests to participate, every lot with its value, the place of performance, and for award notices the winning suppliers and the value awarded, plus links to the English notice page, PDF, XML and the buyer's tender documents. Turn on Open for bids only to keep notices you can still bid on. No API key, no login and no proxy. Built for bid and tender teams, sales teams selling to the public sector, procurement consultants, market analysts, and anyone tracking who buys what across Europe.

🧩 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	no	—	ted.europa.eu pages: a search results page (https://ted.europa.eu/en/search/result?FT=software&buyer-country=DEU&search-scope=ACTIVE) or a notice page (https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/674450-2026), in any language.
searchTerms	array	no	—	Words to find anywhere in a notice, one search per line, such as artificial intelligence or cybersecurity. Quote a phrase for an exact match ("school buses").
rawQuery	string	no	—	A search in TED's expert query syntax, such as classification-cpv=72000000 AND buyer-country=DEU AND procedure-type=open. Copy it from the expert search on ted.europa.eu.
countries	array	no	—	Only return notices from buyers in these countries, as three-letter ISO codes such as DEU, FRA, ITA or POL. Two-letter codes such as DE also work.
cpvCodes	array	no	—	Only return notices for these CPV codes. A code covers every code below it: 72000000 (IT services), 45000000 (construction work), 33100000 (medical equipment), 90900000 (cleaning services).
noticeTypes	array	no	—	Only return these kinds of notice: competition (calls for tender), planning (prior information), result (contract awards), directAward (voluntary ex-ante transparency), modification, completion or consultation (preliminary market consultations).
publishedFrom	string	no	—	Only return notices published on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
publishedTo	string	no	—	Only return notices published on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
activeOnly	boolean	no	false	Open for bids only: only return notices whose deadline for tenders or requests to participate is today or later.
maxItems	integer	no	—	Maximum number of notices per URL, search term or expert query. The input form starts at 5; leave it empty for every matching notice.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Proxy settings. TED needs no proxy.

Add TED URLs, search terms, an expert query, or any mix. The country, CPV, notice-type, date and open-for-bids filters apply to all of them except notice URLs, which return that one notice. With filters but no URL, search term or query, the filters alone make one search. The easiest way to build a search is to run it on ted.europa.eu and paste the address bar. Results come newest first, unless an expert query sets its own SORT BY.

📤 Output

Each notice is one dataset row. TED publishes a new notice for every stage of a procurement, so a call for tender, its corrections and its award are separate rows that share a procedureId.

❓ FAQ

• Do I need an API key or an account? No. TED is public, and the Actor needs no key, login or proxy.
• Which countries are covered? Every notice published on TED: the 27 EU member states, the EEA, and other countries that publish there, such as Switzerland, Ukraine or Moldova.
• Why is the title not in English? Buyers write notices in their own language, and the title is returned as the buyer wrote it unless they also gave an English one. language tells you which language it is, and mainCpvDescription gives the category in English.
• What is a CPV code? The Common Procurement Vocabulary is the EU's classification of what is bought. Each notice carries at least one code, and a code covers everything below it: 72000000 (IT services) also finds 72260000 (software-related services).
• Why are some values empty? Buyers do not always publish an estimated value, and award notices may withhold the amount or the winner; those fields are null. Older notices carry fewer fields than current ones.
• Does a search return every match? Yes, page by page, until maxItems is reached. Very broad searches can be slow; narrow them with countries, CPV codes, notice types or dates.
• Why did a run return fewer notices than expected? The filters may be narrower than you think, or an expert query was rejected; the log says why. Open an issue if something looks off.
