## 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 Procurement Buyer & Supplier Intelligence

Find the organizations behind EU public procurement. This Actor aggregates
official Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) notices into buyer profiles, winning
supplier profiles, and verified buyer-supplier award relationships.

### What buyers get

- One organization row per observed buyer or published winning supplier.
- One relationship row per buyer-supplier pair observed in a published result.
- Official identifiers when TED publishes them; conservative fallback identity
  when no identifier exists.
- Notice counts, award counts, CPV coverage, first/last observed dates, country,
  city, and official TED source links.
- No personal contact fields. Organization names only.
- Values are never converted between currencies and are never allocated across
  multiple winners without an unambiguous source value.

### Business use cases

- Build account lists for public-sector sales teams.
- Identify repeat-buying authorities by sector and country.
- Find established suppliers and partnership targets.
- Map buyer-supplier relationships for market entry and competitor research.
- Refresh CRM and BI tables with bounded date windows.

### Quick start

Use a small seven-day window, choose a buyer country such as `FRA`, set CPV
prefix `72` for IT services, and keep `maxNotices` at `25` for a first run.
Choose `both` to receive profiles and relationship rows.

The Actor uses a maximum 30-day inclusive window, a maximum of 1,000 source
notices per run, and page-limited TED API requests to keep cost predictable.

### Output fields

Organization rows use `record_type=organization`, `organization_role=buyer` or
`supplier`, and include `organization_id`, `organization_name`,
`official_identifier`, `country_code`, `notice_count`, `award_count`,
`cpv_codes`, `official_notice_urls`, and `source_notice_ids`.

Relationship rows use `record_type=relationship` and include `buyer_id`,
`buyer_name`, `supplier_id`, `supplier_name`, country codes, `award_count`,
`cpv_codes`, award dates, and official notice URLs.
They also include `source_notice_ids` for traceability to the exact published notices.

### Data boundary

TED result notices can omit winner information. A relationship is emitted only
when TED marks a tenderer with winner status. A notice-level monetary amount is
not copied into every supplier row when several winners exist. Verify the linked
official notice before commercial, legal, procurement, or compliance decisions.

### Pricing

The launch price is **$1.90 per 1,000 intelligence rows**. Apify platform compute
and storage charges may apply separately. Start with a small bounded run before
scaling a recurring workflow.

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 = {
    "country": "FRA",
    "cpv": "72"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "country": "FRA",

apify call arclay-tn/eu-procurement-buyer-supplier-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,arclay-tn/eu-procurement-buyer-supplier-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).
