## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## EU TED Tenders Scraper: Public Procurement Notices API

Get **EU TED tenders**, **public procurement** notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), in clean JSON: open calls for tender, contract awards, buyers, CPV codes, submission deadlines and estimated contract values from the EU, EEA and partner countries. Filter by keyword, CPV code, buyer country, notice type and publication date. Data comes from the **official TED API**, so runs are fast and do not break when a website changes. You pay per notice returned, no subscription.

### Daily tender alerts in 2 minutes

Schedule the Actor to run every morning with `publishedWithinDays: 1` and your `cpvCodes` and `countries` filters, then send new notices to Slack, email or a CRM via an Apify integration webhook.

### Use cases

- **Bid and tender monitoring**: get every new call for tender in your sector each morning (schedule the Actor daily).
- **Sales prospecting**: find public buyers that are purchasing what you sell, with their deadline and budget.
- **Market intelligence**: track contract awards and awarded values by country, sector (CPV) and buyer.
- **Tender alert products**: feed a tender-alert newsletter, CRM or Slack channel.
- **AI agents**: give an agent live EU procurement data through the Apify MCP server.

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": "cloud migration",
  "cpvCodes": ["72"],
  "countries": ["FR", "DE", "BE"],
  "noticeTypes": "contract-notices",
  "publishedWithinDays": 7,
  "openOnly": true,
  "language": "ENG",
  "maxResults": 1000
}
```

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Full-text search in any language. Notices must contain all the words. |
| `cpvCodes` | CPV codes or prefixes: `72` = IT services, `45` = construction work, `33` = medical equipment, `79` = business services. |
| `countries` | Buyer countries as ISO codes (`FR`, `DE` or `FRA`, `DEU`). Empty = all countries. |
| `noticeTypes` | `contract-notices` (open opportunities), `awards` (awarded value and winner countries) or `all`. |
| `publishedWithinDays` | Only notices published in the last N days (`0` = no limit). |
| `openOnly` | Calls for tender only: keep notices whose deadline has not passed. |
| `language` | Language of titles, buyer names and PDF links (falls back to English). |
| `expertQuery` | Advanced: a raw [TED expert query](https://ted.europa.eu/en/help/search-browse) that replaces the filters above. |

### Output

```json
{
  "noticeId": "642887-2026",
  "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/642887-2026",
  "title": "Sweden – Database services – Oracle EU Sovereign Exadata",
  "buyerName": "Arbetsförmedlingen Varor & tjänster",
  "buyerCountry": "SWE",
  "publicationDate": "2026-09-18",
  "deadline": "2026-09-28",
  "noticeType": "cn-standard",
  "procedureType": "open",
  "contractNature": ["services"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72320000", "48610000"],
  "placeOfPerformance": ["SWE"],
  "estimatedValue": 51100000,
  "currency": "SEK",
  "awardedValue": null,
  "awardedCurrency": null,
  "winnerCountries": [],
  "pdfUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/642887-2026/pdf"
}
```

- `deadline` is the earliest submission deadline across the notice's lots.
- `estimatedValue` is the procedure's total estimated value, or the sum of its lots when no total is published.
- For contract awards, `awardedValue` and `winnerCountries` tell you how much was awarded and where the winners are based.

### Pricing

You pay per notice returned, no subscription. A search with no results costs nothing. Check the Actor's Pricing tab for the current rate per notice.

### Tips

- Schedule a daily run with `publishedWithinDays: 1` to receive only new tenders.
- Combine several CPV prefixes to cover a whole market, e.g. `["72", "48"]` for IT services and software.
- Titles in the preferred language are translated by the EU Publications Office, so you can read notices from any country in English.

### FAQ

**Do I need a TED account or API key?** No. The TED search API is public.

**Which countries are covered?** Every buyer that publishes on TED: the 27 EU countries plus EEA and partner countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Ukraine.

**Does it collect personal data?** No. The output describes public procurement notices. Winner names are deliberately left out, because many winners are sole traders named after a person.

**How far back does the history go?** Every run queries TED live; use `publishedWithinDays` (0 for no limit) to control the depth of history returned.

**What are the limits of the TED API?** Up to `maxResults` notices per run, paginated in batches of 250 by the API itself; very broad queries with no filters can take longer to page through.

**How fresh is the data?** TED publishes new notices every working day and the Actor queries it live on each run.

## CLI example

echo '{
  "cpvCodes": [
    "72"
  ]
}' |
apify call boubap/ted-tenders-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

    }
}
```

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).
