EU Tenders Scraper (TED)

Get EU Tenders Scraper (TED) results as clean JSON, CSV or Excel, from the Apify API or on a schedule. No login, about $4.00 for 1,000 results.

What does EU Tenders Scraper (TED) do?

EU Tenders Scraper (TED) extracts structured data from api.ted.europa.eu. Collect EU public procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's official tenders journal, through its public Search API: one clean record per procedure (title, buyer, country, CPV codes, estimated value and currency, procedure, published date, deadline, status, winner), filtered by keywords, CPV codes, countries, buyer, value and dates, and watched for new tenders, changed deadlines and tenders that close or are awarded. It works as an API for api.ted.europa.eu data: run it from Apify Console, on a schedule, or from your own code, and get clean, typed JSON with numbers as numbers and dates in ISO 8601.

What you get

Data	26 fields per item: procedureId, noticeId, title, originalTitle, buyer, buyerCity, ...
Formats	JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or the Apify API
Price	$4.00 per 1,000 results, pay per result
Access	Public api.ted.europa.eu data only: no login, no cookies, robots.txt respected
Licence	EU reuse of Commission documents (Decision 2011/833/EU): reuse allowed for commercial or non-commercial purposes, free of charge, acknowledging the source (TED, Publications Office of the EU)

Why use EU Tenders Scraper (TED)?

• Analysts and researchers: export the data to a spreadsheet or database.
• Developers: call it from your own code through the Apify API.
• Monitoring: run it on a schedule and compare results over time.
• AI agents and RAG: give an LLM live structured data.

Main features:

• Follows pagination up to maxPages pages per start URL and stops at maxItems results.
• Filters: keywords (keywords), cpvCodes (cpv codes), countries (buyer countries), buyer (buyer name), minValue (minimum estimated value), noticeTypes (notice types), publishedAfter (published after), deadlineAfter (deadline after), onlyChanges (only changes since the last run), so you only get (and pay for) the results you need.
• Polite by default: respects robots.txt, at most maxConcurrency parallel requests and a delay between requests.
• Checks every result against field validators, so layout changes show up as clear data-quality warnings.
• Runs on the Apify platform: scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring and datasets you can export.

Integrations and API

• Apify API: start a run and get the results in one HTTP request:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/compass_lab~ted-tenders-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"keywords": ["software"], "noticeTypes": ["competition", "result"], "maxItems": 150}'

• Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("compass_lab/ted-tenders-scraper").call(run_input={"keywords": ["software"], "noticeTypes": ["competition", "result"], "maxItems": 150})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

• JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('compass_lab/ted-tenders-scraper').call({"keywords": ["software"], "noticeTypes": ["competition", "result"], "maxItems": 150});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

• Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks: use the Apify integrations (Integrations tab) to send each run's results where you need them, or to start a run from your workflow.
• Schedules: run it hourly, daily or weekly from Apify Console (Schedules) and always have fresh results.

Tips and advanced options

• Keep Max items and Max pages as low as you need: fewer pages means a faster, cheaper run.
• Raise Delay between requests if the site responds slowly; keep Max concurrency low to stay polite.
• Missing values are null. Fields that often come back empty are listed in the run log as data-quality warnings.
• Watch for changes: every record has changeType (new, changed or unchanged compared with the last run with the same input) and changes ({"field": {"from": ..., "to": ...}}). Schedule the Actor with Only changes since the last run on to get, and pay for, only what moved. new means new to this input: not returned by an earlier run with the same filters. The last snapshot is kept in a named key-value store called <actor-name>-watch-<id> (the run log prints its name); delete it, or change the input, to start over.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Is it legal to scrape api.ted.europa.eu?

D91 (Mouad, 2026-10-04) confirmed the public tenders line, covering the missing robots.txt on api.ted.europa.eu. TED documents its Search API as keyless and 'primarily targeted at data reusers', naming commercial organisations among its users; EU Commission Decision 2011/833/EU makes documents reusable for commercial purposes, free of charge, with acknowledgement of the source. One request at a time, at least 1 s apart, User-Agent with contact email.

The data is published under the EU reuse of Commission documents (Decision 2011/833/EU): reuse allowed for commercial or non-commercial purposes, free of charge, acknowledging the source (TED, Publications Office of the EU): you may reuse it, including commercially, provided you credit the source as the licence requires.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

How many results can I get?

Up to maxItems per run (0 means no limit), as many as the source lists. Each result is one dataset item, and you are only charged for items that are saved.

Can I run it on a schedule or from my own code?

Yes. Schedule it in Apify Console (Schedules), or call it with the run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint or the Python/JavaScript clients shown in Integrations and API above.

What are the limitations?

• None identified so far.

Where can I get help?

Report problems or ideas on the Issues tab. To call this Actor from your own code, see the API tab.
