## 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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Match API

Find public EU TED procurement notices by keyword, CPV code, buyer country, publication date, and deadline. The Actor returns clean JSON for B2B sales agents, procurement consultants, and market-intelligence workflows.

### Why this Actor exists

Public procurement data has high business value, but TED expert search responses are not shaped for agents or CRMs. This Actor converts TED notices into a small, predictable schema that can be used for:

- government-contract opportunity monitoring
- B2B public-sector sales lead discovery
- procurement-market research
- agentic workflows that need structured tender matches

### Data source

This Actor uses the public TED API v3 search endpoint:

`https://api.ted.europa.eu/v3/notices/search`

No login, private data, personal-profile scraping, or proxy bypass is used.

### Example input

```json
{
  "keywords": "cybersecurity",
  "country": "DE",
  "publishedAfter": "2025-01-01",
  "maxResults": 10
}
````

Optional filters:

- `cpv`: CPV code such as `72000000`
- `deadlineAfter`: tender deadline lower bound, `YYYY-MM-DD`
- `includeRaw`: include selected raw TED fields for debugging

### Output fields

Each dataset item contains:

```json
{
  "noticeId": "...",
  "publicationNumber": "72951-2025",
  "title": "...",
  "buyerName": "...",
  "buyerCountry": "DEU",
  "publicationDate": "2025-02-03+01:00",
  "tenderDeadline": "2025-03-17+01:00",
  "cpvCodes": ["72268000"],
  "estimatedValue": "405000.00",
  "estimatedValueCurrency": "EUR",
  "description": "...",
  "noticeUrl": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/72951-2025",
  "source": "TED API v3 public search",
  "matchReason": "Matched TED expert query: ...",
  "summary": "..."
}
```

### Compliance notes

- The Actor uses public procurement notices from TED.
- Users are responsible for complying with TED terms, legal notice, attribution, and downstream use rules.
- The Actor does not collect private, logged-in, sensitive, or personal-profile data.
- This Actor should not be used for spam or deceptive outreach automation.

### Pricing

This Actor is configured for Apify Pay Per Event pricing:

- Actor start: `$0.005` per run
- Tender match: `$0.05` per matched public EU TED procurement notice pushed to the default dataset

Example: a run returning 10 tender matches costs about `$0.505` before any platform-side display/rounding rules.

Keep `maxResults` low for tests. Increase it only when you are ready to pay for more matched tenders.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Full-text search keywords, e.g. cybersecurity, solar panels, AI software.

## `country` (type: `string`):

ISO alpha-2 or TED alpha-3 buyer country code. Examples: DE or DEU, FR or FRA, ES or ESP. Leave blank for all countries.

## `cpv` (type: `string`):

Optional CPV code, e.g. 72000000 for IT services. Prefix matching depends on TED expert-search behavior.

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

Optional YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD lower bound for notice publication date.

## `deadlineAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD lower bound for tender receipt deadline.

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

Maximum notices to return. Keep small for tests; maximum 100 in this actor.

## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`):

Include raw selected TED fields for debugging/integration.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": "cybersecurity",
  "country": "DE",
  "publishedAfter": "2025-01-01",
  "maxResults": 10,
  "includeRaw": false
