Government Tenders Scraper: SAM.gov & EU TED

What does Government Tenders Scraper do?

Government Tenders Scraper finds government tenders and RFPs from US SAM.gov (Contract Opportunities) and EU TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) and returns them in one clean table. It is a simple way to monitor public procurement in the US and Europe: pick keywords, CPV or NAICS codes, countries and dates, and get every matching notice with buyer, deadline, estimated value and a direct link.

• 🇪🇺 EU TED works out of the box, no account or key needed
• 🇺🇸 SAM.gov works with your own free SAM.gov API key
• 🔎 Filter by keyword, CPV code (EU), NAICS code (US), country, publication date or deadline, notice type
• 🆕 Only new tenders mode: scheduled runs return only notices you haven't seen yet
• 🧾 One format for both sources, ready for Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, JSON or your CRM
• 🔒 Organization-level data only, no personal contact details
• ⚙️ Uses the official SAM.gov and TED APIs, not page scraping

Why use it?

• Bid and proposal teams: get a daily list of new opportunities for your CPV/NAICS codes instead of checking two portals by hand.
• GovCon consultants and agencies: build tender alerts for several clients from one tool.
• B2B sales teams: spot public-sector buyers that are about to purchase what you sell.
• Market research: export tender volumes by country, category or buyer.
• Tender-alert products and AI agents: feed normalized notices into your own app, Slack channel or AI workflow.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for the tenders you get. There is no monthly fee and platform usage is not charged separately.

What	Price
One tender notice	$0.003
1,000 tenders	$3
Run start	$0.00005 per run (at the default 512 MB)

Examples: a daily alert that returns 20 new tenders costs about $0.06 a day (about $1.80 a month). Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers roughly 1,600 tenders. Use Max results to cap what a single run can cost.

Integrations

• Schedules: run daily or hourly and get only new tenders.
• API: start runs and download results from your own code via the Apify API (code samples are on the API tab).
• Zapier, Make, n8n: send new tenders to email, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable or your CRM.
• Webhooks: trigger your own workflow when a run finishes.
• AI agents (MCP): connect via the Apify MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can search tenders for you.

Tips and limits

• SAM.gov needs your own API key. Personal keys have a small daily request quota, so keep the number of keywords × NAICS codes small.
• On SAM.gov, keywords match the title of the opportunity.
• CPV codes apply to TED and NAICS codes to SAM.gov. You can use both in one run.
• By default, closed tenders (deadline passed) and award notices are left out. Turn on Include closed (past deadline) notices or Include award/result notices to get them.
• Only new since last run remembers what you've already received. Turn it off to get the full result list again.
• If one source is temporarily unavailable, the run still returns results from the other source and notes the error in the log.

FAQ

Is it legal to collect this data? The tool reads official public APIs from SAM.gov and the EU Publications Office (TED). Both publish procurement notices so the public can find and bid on them. Only organization-level data is returned and personal contact details are removed. You are responsible for how you use the data. If you are unsure, check with a legal advisor.

Do I need a SAM.gov API key? Only for US tenders. EU TED works without one. Get a free key by signing in at SAM.gov and requesting a public API key under your account details, then paste it into the SAM.gov API key field. The key is stored as a secret input.

Which countries are covered? The US federal government through SAM.gov, and the EU/EEA plus other countries that publish on TED.

How fresh is the data? Each run queries the sources live. TED publishes new notices on working days and SAM.gov updates continuously.

Can I get tenders as alerts? Yes. Schedule the Actor daily with Only new since last run on, and connect it to email, Slack or Google Sheets via Zapier, Make or webhooks.

Can I search by keyword in another language? Yes for TED, which matches keywords in the notice title and description. Many EU notices are published in the buyer's language, so adding local-language keywords finds more results.
