## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## EU TED European Public Procurement Tenders Scraper (eForms Officer Contacts + Historical Incumbent Intelligence)

> **Apify Actor Slug**: `eu-ted-european-public-procurement-tenders-scraper`\
> **Primary Authority**: European Union Publications Office — Tenders Electronic Daily (TED API v3)\
> **Architecture**: 100% Entity-Pure Relational `LEFT JOIN` (`1 Row = 1 Official EU TED Public Procurement Notice`)

***

### 1. Who Buys This Data & How They Use It

#### Target B2B Buyer Personas

1. **European & Global Enterprise IT System Integrators, Cloud & Cybersecurity Vendors** bidding on public-sector software development, datacenter, network infrastructure, and digital transformation tenders (CPV 30/32/48/72).
2. **Medical Device, Diagnostic & Laboratory Equipment Manufacturers / Distributors** targeting European hospital networks, regional health authorities, and university research institutes (CPV 33/38).
3. **Civil Infrastructure, Engineering, Clean Energy & Public Fleet Suppliers** bidding on municipal, regional, and national highway, solar PV, water utility, and transit tenders (CPV 09/34/45/71/90).
4. **Public Sector Bid/Proposal Agencies & Management Consultancies** advising cross-border bidders on European government contracts.

#### Plug-and-Play Downstream Workflows

- **Cold Email Sequencers (Instantly.ai, Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo)**:
  - Directly map `contact_first_name`, `contact_last_name`, `contact_email`, `buyer_clean_name`, and `outreach_icebreaker` (written in clean business English using the official English CPV scope, contract budget in local currency & EUR, submission deadline, and historical incumbent suppliers).
- **Power Dialers & Account-Based Sales (Orum, Nooks, RingCentral)**:
  - Call the verified Contracting Authority Contact Point directly via `contact_phone_e164` / `contact_phone_formatted` with full context on `submission_deadline_date`, `contract_value_formatted`, and `submission_portal_url`.
- **Clay.com, HubSpot & Salesforce CRM Enrichment**:
  - Match and deduplicate public-sector accounts using `buyer_domain` (stripped of third-party e-procurement portals like `vergabe.de`, `eojn.hr`, `tendsign.com`, or `marches-publics.gouv.fr`), `publication_number`, and pure numeric columns (`contract_value_eur_num`, `contract_value_original_num`, `buyer_historical_ted_notices_count_num`, `lots_count_num`, `cpv_main_code_num`).

***

### 2. Entity-Pure Relational `LEFT JOIN` Architecture (Zero `UNION ALL`)

Every output record represents **1 single EU TED Public Procurement Notice (`publication_number`)**, enriched through two relational joins on the official TED v3 API:

| Layer | Data Source / Endpoint | Join Key | Extracted & Derived Fields |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Base Entity** | **Official EU TED Search API v3** (`POST https://api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search`) | `publication_number` (`ND`) | `publication_date`, `submission_deadline_date`, `notice_type`, `tender_title_clean`, `tender_title_english_scope`, `cpv_main_code_num`, `cpv_sector_category`, `notice_url`, `pdf_url` |
| **`LEFT JOIN 1`** | **TED eForms Extended Contact, Budget & Portal Extraction** | `publication_number` (`ND`) | Verified human Procurement Officer (`contact_first_name`, `contact_last_name`, `contact_full_name`, `contact_role_title`), `contact_email`, `secondary_contact_email`, `contact_phone_e164`, `contact_phone_formatted`, `buyer_clean_name`, `buyer_domain`, `buyer_website_url`, `submission_portal_url`, `lots_count_num`, `contract_value_eur_num`, `contract_value_original_num`, `contract_value_currency`, `contract_value_formatted` |
| **`LEFT JOIN 2`** | **TED v3 Historical Buyer Spend & Past Awarded Suppliers Lookup** (`POST https://api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search`) | `buyer_raw_name` | `buyer_historical_ted_notices_count_num` (total TED notices published by this Contracting Authority) + `incumbent_awarded_suppliers` (verified past winning companies awarded contracts by this buyer on EU TED) |

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "expertQuery": "publication-date >= 20250101",
  "maxItems": 20
}' |
apify call grandiose_envelope_0fj/eu-ted-european-public-procurement-tenders-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,grandiose_envelope_0fj/eu-ted-european-public-procurement-tenders-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
