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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## EU Tenders Scraper (TED) Search official EU public procurement notices from **TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)** — the EU's central platform for publishing public procurement tenders — using the official [TED Search API v3](https://docs.ted.europa.eu/api/latest/search.html). Filter by CPV code, buyer country, publication date, or a raw TED expert query, and get clean, structured tender data. ### Features - **Official API, no scraping** — queries `api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search` directly; no authentication required - **Flexible filtering** — combine CPV codes, buyer countries, and a publication-date lower bound, or write your own raw expert query - **EU-wide coverage** — searches notices from all EU member states plus EEA/associated countries publishing to TED - **Structured output** — title, buyer, country, CPV codes, estimated value (EUR), submission deadline, and direct notice URL ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|-----------|---------|-------------| | `query` | `string` | No | — | Raw TED expert search query (ANDed with the filters below if both are set) | | `cpv_codes` | `array` | No | `[]` | CPV codes to filter by (OR-ed together) | | `countries` | `array` | No | `[]` | ISO alpha-3 buyer country codes to filter by (OR-ed together) | | `published_since` | `string` | No | — | `YYYY-MM-DD` lower bound on publication date | | `max_results` | `integer` | No | `50` | Maximum tenders to return (1-200) | If **no** filters are provided at all, the Actor defaults to notices published in the last 30 days to avoid an unbounded query. #### Input Example ```json { "cpv_codes": ["45000000"], "countries": ["DEU"], "published_since": "2026-06-01", "max_results": 50 } ```` #### Custom expert query example ```json { "query": "classification-cpv=72000000 AND organisation-country-buyer=FRA", "max_results": 100 } ``` See the [TED expert search field reference](https://docs.ted.europa.eu/api/latest/search.html) for the full list of queryable fields and operators. ### Output ```json { "title": "Germany – Construction work – 2026-49 Zoo: rockwork construction", "buyer": "Zoo Duisburg gGmbH", "country": "DEU", "cpv": ["45000000", "45200000", "92312000"], "value_eur": 38631.17, "deadline": "2026-06-30T10:00:00+02:00", "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/370732-2026/html", "published_at": "2026-06-01+02:00" } ``` | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Notice title (native language, falls back to an English-generated title) | | `buyer` | Contracting authority / buyer name | | `country` | ISO alpha-3 country code of the buyer, or `null` if not published | | `cpv` | Common Procurement Vocabulary codes (deduplicated) | | `value_eur` | Estimated procurement value **only when published in EUR**; `null` otherwise | | `deadline` | Tender submission deadline (ISO datetime), or `null` if not applicable | | `url` | Direct link to the notice on ted.europa.eu (English where available) | | `published_at` | Publication date on TED | ### Pricing | Event | Cost | |-------|------| | Actor start | $0.02 | | Tender Found | $0.01 | **Typical run cost:** 50 tenders ≈ `$0.02 + 50 × $0.01 = $0.52`. ### Limitations - **EUR-only value conversion** — `value_eur` is only populated when TED itself reports the estimated value in EUR. Notices published in other currencies (e.g. non-eurozone member states) return `value_eur: null` rather than performing currency conversion. - **`max_results` is capped at 200** per run, and the TED API returns at most 250 notices per page — this Actor issues a single page-1 request per run, so it does not paginate beyond that. - Field availability varies by notice type and country — very old or minimal notices may have missing `buyer`, `deadline`, or `cpv` data (returned as `"Unknown buyer"` or `null`). - This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the EU Publications Office; it consumes TED's public, unauthenticated Search API as documented at [docs.ted.europa.eu](https://docs.ted.europa.eu/api/latest/search.html). ### Use Cases - Track new construction/IT/consulting tenders in target countries - Monitor competitor bids and awarded contract values by CPV sector - Build lead-generation pipelines for public-sector sales teams - Feed procurement notices into BI dashboards or CRM systems # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Optional raw TED expert search query string (see the TED Search API expert query syntax, e.g. "classification-cpv=45000000 AND organisation-country-buyer=DEU"). If provided, it is combined with AND against the cpv\_codes/countries/published\_since filters below. ## `cpv_codes` (type: `array`): Common Procurement Vocabulary codes to filter by, e.g. "45000000" for construction work. Multiple codes are OR-ed together. ## `countries` (type: `array`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes of the contracting authority, e.g. "DEU", "FRA", "ITA". Multiple countries are OR-ed together. ## `published_since` (type: `string`): Only include notices published on or after this date, in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. "2026-01-01"). If no filters are set at all, defaults to the last 30 days. ## `max_results` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of tenders to return (1-200). ## Actor input object example ```json { "cpv_codes": [ "45000000" ], "countries": [ "DEU" ], "max_results": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `resultsCsv` (type: `string`): No description ## `run` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "cpv_codes": [ "45000000" ], "countries": [ "DEU" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("eesti/eu-tenders-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
