## 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 (TED) Search & Monitor

Search and monitor **EU public procurement notices** from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) by CPV category, buyer country, and keyword — and get clean, flat JSON records. Run it on a schedule in **incremental mode** to receive only tenders published since the last run: a ready-made pipeline of B2G sales leads. Uses the **official TED Search API v3**: no anti-bot fights, no failed runs from blocking.

### What you get

One record per procurement notice:

```json
{
  "publication_number": "602745-2026",
  "title": "Germany – Construction work – BSZ - 323.1 Pfahlgründung und Erdarbeiten",
  "buyer_name": "LRA Lindau (Bodensee)",
  "buyer_country": "DEU",
  "published_at": "2026-09-02",
  "submission_deadline": "2026-10-02T10:00:00+02:00",
  "cpv_codes": ["45000000", "45110000"],
  "places_of_performance": ["DE27A", "DEU"],
  "notice_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/602745-2026",
  "pdf_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/602745-2026/pdf",
  "source_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/602745-2026",
  "fetched_at": "2026-09-11T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Win public contracts**: monitor your industry's CPV codes in your countries; every new tender lands in your CRM before competitors read the daily bulletin.
- **Market intelligence**: track which authorities buy what, deadlines, and geography.
- **AI agents**: small input schema, deterministic output — call it from agent pipelines via API or MCP.

### Input

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `cpvCodes` | string\[] | CPV categories, e.g. `72000000` IT services |
| `countries` | string\[] | Buyer country ISO-3 codes, e.g. `DEU` |
| `fullTextSearch` | string | Optional keyword/phrase |
| `publishedAfter` | `YYYY-MM-DD` | Optional lower bound |
| `maxResults` | integer | Cap on charged results (default 200) |
| `sinceLastRun` | boolean | Incremental monitoring mode |

At least one of `cpvCodes`, `countries`, or `fullTextSearch` is required.

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `tender-result` | One tender record delivered to the dataset. **Empty runs are never charged.** |

### Reliability

Official API, retries with backoff, rate-limited politely, structured failure reporting, daily issue triage.

# Actor input Schema

## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`):

Common Procurement Vocabulary codes, e.g. 45000000 (construction), 72000000 (IT services), 33600000 (pharma).

## `countries` (type: `array`):

ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes of the buying authority's country, e.g. DEU, FRA, NLD.

## `fullTextSearch` (type: `string`):

Optional full-text keyword or phrase to match in the notice.

## `publishedAfter` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Only notices published after this date.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many tender records (you are charged per record).

## `sinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`):

Incremental mode: remembers the newest publication date per filter set; scheduled runs return only new notices.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "cpvCodes": [
    "72000000"
  ],
  "maxResults": 200,
  "sinceLastRun": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `resultsDatasetUrl` (type: `string`):

EU procurement notice records matching the filters

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "cpvCodes": [
        "72000000"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("factpipe/eu-ted-tenders-monitor").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);

run_input = { "cpvCodes": ["72000000"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("factpipe/eu-ted-tenders-monitor").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "cpvCodes": [
    "72000000"
  ]
}' |
apify call factpipe/eu-ted-tenders-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,factpipe/eu-ted-tenders-monitor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
