EU Tenders Scraper - TED Tenders & Public Procurement API

TED tenders scraper and EU tenders API: search every EU public tender, contract award and prior information notice published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) by keyword, country, CPV code, notice type and date. Clean JSON, one row per notice. $1 per 1,000 notices.

TED is the official EU journal for public procurement: around 800,000 notices a year from 27 EU countries plus EEA, Switzerland, Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkans and EU institutions. This Actor uses the official TED Search API v3 (api.ted.europa.eu) - no browser, no proxies, no scraping of HTML - so runs are fast (typically 1-4 seconds) and stable.

Tested before release: 12/12 platform test runs behaved as expected (10 data runs across 12 countries with keywords, phrases, CPV codes, notice types, open-deadline filter, date windows, 3-page pagination and an advanced expert query; 2 invalid inputs were correctly rejected with a clear error). Charged events matched dataset items on every run.

Who it's for and use cases

• Bid teams and sales - find open calls for tenders in your CPV codes and countries every morning, with the submission deadline and the link to the tender documents.
• Market intelligence - see who won which contracts (award notices include winners and total value) and which buyers spend in your sector.
• Consultants and lead generation - build lists of public buyers planning purchases (prior information notices) before the tender is out.
• Researchers and journalists - analyse procurement by country, CPV sector, procedure type or value.
• AI agents and automations - call it from Make, Zapier, n8n, LangChain or Apify's MCP server and get flat JSON back in a few seconds.

3. Choose a notice type and a published since date (default: last 30 days). Tick only tenders still open to drop expired calls.

Pricing

Pay per event - you only pay for notices you get:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005 per run (256 MB)
Tender notice	$0.001 per notice ($1 per 1,000)

Examples: 25 notices = $0.02505; 100 notices = $0.10005; a search with no matches = $0.00005. Set a maximum charge per run and the Actor stops exactly there.

FAQ

Is this legal / can I reuse the data? Yes. TED data is published by the Publications Office of the European Union as open data and may be reused free of charge, including commercially, under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, with attribution: "© European Union, https://ted.europa.eu". The Actor only calls the official public API.

How fresh is it? TED publishes new notices every working day (Monday-Friday); results are live from the API at run time.

Which countries? All countries that publish on TED: EU-27, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia and others, plus EU institutions.

Why is the estimated value empty? Many buyers do not publish an estimate. Award notices usually have totalValue (the awarded amount).

How many notices can I get? Up to 5,000 per run (newest first). For larger extracts, split by date window or country.

Does it get the full tender documents? It returns the links (documentsUrl, submissionUrl, pdfUrl, xmlUrl). The documents themselves live on national e-procurement portals.

Something wrong? Open an issue on the Actor page - the OUTPUT record shows the exact TED query that was run, which makes problems easy to reproduce.
