## Pricing

from $4.00 / 1,000 tender results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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 Tender Shortlist — TED Opportunity Ranking

Turn the official TED procurement feed into a ranked sales shortlist. Filter active European tenders by keyword, country, CPV code, publication date, minimum value, and submission deadline; every result receives an explainable `fitScore`, concrete `fitReasons`, and actionable `riskFlags` before export to JSON or CSV.

### Why use this Actor?

- Returns only notices with a tender deadline in the future when the run starts.
- Produces one normalized row per notice, using its nearest eligible tender deadline.
- Ranks by best fit, nearest deadline, or highest published value.
- Explains every score and flags short deadlines or missing estimated values.
- Requires no API key, proxy, or browser.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "keywords": ["software", "server"],
  "countries": ["DEU", "FRA"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72"],
  "minValue": 100000,
  "rankingMode": "bestFit",
  "maxResults": 100
}
````

### Input

All date defaults are calculated from the run start in UTC. Dynamic UTC dates are applied at runtime rather than stored in the input schema.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | `string[]` | `[]` | Up to 10 terms. A notice can match any term through TED full-text search. |
| `countries` | `string[]` | `[]` | Up to 30 unique ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 buyer country codes, such as `DEU`, `FRA`, or `POL`. |
| `cpvCodes` | `string[]` | `[]` | Up to 20 unique CPV codes or prefixes, each containing 2–8 digits. |
| `publishedAfter` | `string` | UTC date 30 days before run start | Inclusive earliest publication date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. |
| `publishedBefore` | `string` | Not set | Inclusive latest publication date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. |
| `deadlineAfter` | `string` | UTC date of run start | Inclusive earliest tender deadline date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. |
| `deadlineBefore` | `string` | Not set | Inclusive latest tender deadline date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. |
| `minValue` | `number` | Not set | Nonnegative minimum procedure-level estimated value in each notice's native/source currency, with no currency conversion. Cross-currency values are not economically normalized; combine this filter with a narrow country or use case, or inspect the output `currency`. Notices without a numeric value are excluded when this is greater than zero. |
| `rankingMode` | `bestFit \| deadlineSoonest \| highestValue` | `bestFit` | Sort the shortlist by explainable fit, the nearest eligible deadline, or the highest published estimated value. Unknown values sort last in `highestValue` mode. |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | `100` | Maximum number of eligible rows to collect, from 1 to 5,000. A run charge budget can reduce the number actually written. |

### Output

Each default-dataset item follows the `TenderRow` contract. The values in this example are illustrative and do not identify a verified procurement notice:

```json
{
  "noticeId": "412345-2026",
  "title": "Framework agreement for software development and support services",
  "buyerName": "Illustrative City Digital Services Agency",
  "buyerCountryCodes": ["DEU"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000", "72200000"],
  "estimatedValue": 2500000,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "publicationDate": "2026-07-10",
  "deadline": "2026-08-31T15:00:00.000Z",
  "daysToDeadline": 47,
  "fitScore": 100,
  "fitReasons": [
    "Keyword match: software",
    "Buyer country match: DEU",
    "CPV match: 72",
    "Estimated value meets minimum: 2500000",
    "Deadline is active: 47 days remaining"
  ],
  "riskFlags": [],
  "sourceUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/412345-2026/html"
}
```

### Pricing

$0.004 per item written to the default dataset. Empty results and notices filtered out before the final dataset write do not create dataset-item events.

A run-level `maxTotalChargeUsd` can cap the rows written below `maxResults`. The final status reports the actual submitted count and, when budget-limited, the eligible count as well.

### Data source and limitations

This Actor queries the official TED Search API. Procedure-level estimated value can be absent from a notice, so `estimatedValue` and `currency` can be `null`. The deterministic fit score uses the requested keyword, country, CPV, minimum-value, and deadline evidence; it is a prioritization aid, not an eligibility decision. Keyword matching uses TED full-text search and is not semantic matching. Verify the source notice for the complete procurement record and current requirements.

### Disclaimer

This independent tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Union or TED. Users are responsible for verifying procurement details on the linked official notice before acting.
