## 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 Tenders Scraper — TED Procurement Monitor

Monitor **EU public procurement tenders** from the official [TED database](https://ted.europa.eu) (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the official journal of EU public procurement with over €2 trillion in contracts published annually.

🔍 **Search it on Google:** "EU tenders scraper", "TED procurement monitor", "European tender alerts"

### Why use this Actor?

- ✅ **Official data source** — uses the TED API directly, no fragile scraping
- ✅ **Real-time monitoring** — schedule daily/hourly runs for new tender alerts
- ✅ **Precise filtering** — CPV codes, countries, keywords, notice types
- ✅ **Rich output** — values, deadlines, buyer info, documents
- ✅ **Multilingual titles** — get titles in 15+ languages

### Who is this for?

| User | Use case |
|---|---|
| 🏢 **Bid teams & consultants** | Never miss a relevant tender — daily alerts by sector |
| 📊 **Market analysts** | Track procurement trends by industry, country, buyer |
| 🤖 **Sales teams** | Find buyers of specific products/services |
| 🔔 **Automation builders** | Pipe tender data into Slack, email, CRMs |
| 🧠 **AI agents** | Automated opportunity discovery |

### Input options

| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | Free-text search in tender descriptions | `"cybersecurity"`, `"solar panels"` |
| `cpvCode` | CPV code or prefix | `72000000` (IT), `45` (construction), `33` (medical) |
| `countries` | Buyer countries (2 or 3-letter codes) | `["DE", "FR", "BG"]` |
| `publishedSince` | Only notices from this date | `"20260601"` |
| `noticeTypes` | Contract notice / prior info / award | `["cn-standard"]` |
| `language` | Output language | `en`, `de`, `fr`, `pl`... |
| `maxItems` | Max results per run | `100` |

### Example input

```json
{
    "keyword": "artificial intelligence",
    "cpvCode": "72",
    "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
    "publishedSince": "20260801",
    "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
    "publicationNumber": "533475-2026",
    "title": "Framework contract for AI software development services",
    "buyer": "University Hospital Ostrava",
    "buyerCountry": ["CZ"],
    "publicationDate": "2026-08-03",
    "totalValue": 4000000,
    "deadlineDate": "2026-09-15",
    "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/533475-2026"
}
```

### 💡 Pro tips

1. **Daily alert pipeline**: run on a schedule with yesterday's date as `publishedSince`, then diff results to detect new opportunities
2. **Wide net**: use short CPV prefixes (`72`) for broad sectors, full codes (`72000000`) for precision
3. **Multi-country tracking**: list all countries you sell to — results are merged

### Data source

Official [TED API](https://api.ted.europa.eu) operated by the EU Publications Office. This actor is not affiliated with the European Union.

```

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).
