## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## EU Funding Calls Intelligence

Search public European Commission Funding & Tenders Portal opportunities for grant discovery, proposal pipelines, and business development.

### What you get in each row

Each row contains the public reference, title, record type, status, deadline,
programme, topic identifier, official portal URL, retrieval timestamp, source
label, and the original public result attributes.

### Example output

```json
{
  "reference": "HORIZON-CL5-2025-01",
  "title": "Example funding topic",
  "record_type": "1",
  "status": "31094501",
  "deadline": "2025-09-18",
  "programme": "Horizon Europe",
  "topic_identifier": "HORIZON-CL5-2025-01",
  "source_url": "https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL5-2025-01",
  "retrieved_at": "2025-08-28T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Pricing examples

The launch price is **$1.90 per 1,000 opportunity rows**. Platform usage is
included where configured in Apify Store. Use a small bounded run to validate a
query before scaling.

### CRM and BI use cases

- Build grant and tender pipelines for sales and bid teams.
- Match programmes and topics to products, capabilities, and target markets.
- Load normalized opportunities into a CRM, warehouse, DuckDB, or BI dashboard.
- Refresh deadline and status signals on a recurring schedule.

### Why official Funding & Tenders data

This Actor queries the European Commission service and preserves official identifiers and source links instead of scraping rendered pages. Results are easier to audit and refresh.

### Input guidance

Use optional search text, record types, open-only status filtering, and
`maxResults` for predictable runs. Empty results are valid when no official
opportunity matches the filters.

### Important limitations

This is public opportunity information, not legal, financial, eligibility, or proposal-writing advice. Confirm deadlines, eligibility, and call documents in the official portal before acting. Arclay is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Commission.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("arclay-tn/eu-funding-calls-intelligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("arclay-tn/eu-funding-calls-intelligence").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call arclay-tn/eu-funding-calls-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,arclay-tn/eu-funding-calls-intelligence"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
