TED EU Public Tenders Scraper (Official API)

Scrape public procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official EU supplement to the Official Journal. This actor queries the free, official TED API v3 (api.ted.europa.eu) — no proxies, no scraping of HTML pages, no brittle selectors. Results are sorted newest first and can be filtered by keywords, CPV codes, buyer countries, notice types and publication dates.

Multilingual fields (title, description) are returned in your preferred language with automatic fallback to the original language.

4. Set the publication date range — defaults to the last 7 days. Enable Only active notices to skip expired deadlines.
5. Choose the preferred language for multilingual fields (default eng).
6. Set Max notices (up to 15,000 per run) and click Start.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing: $2 per 1,000 results (see the Pricing tab for whether Apify platform usage is included).

Cost examples:

Notices	Cost
200	$0.40
1,000	$2.00
5,000	$10.00
15,000 (max per run)	$30.00

You are only charged for notices actually saved to the dataset — a run that returns fewer results costs proportionally less.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. TED is the official EU publication of public procurement notices, and this actor uses the official, free TED API v3. Only publicly available procurement data is collected. The actor does not bypass authentication or paywalls, and it accesses the API in a polite, rate-limited manner.

Do I need an API key or proxy? No. The TED API is free and open, so no API key is required and no proxy is used.

How far back can I search? Set publishedSince to any date supported by the TED API. If left empty, it defaults to 7 days ago. Use publishedUntil to close the range.

What does onlyActive do? When enabled, notices whose submission deadline has already passed are excluded, so you only get opportunities you can still bid on.

Why are some fields null? TED notices vary by type and completeness. Deadlines, estimated values and winners are only present when the buyer published them — for example, winners appear mainly on award notices (can-standard).

What happens if my preferred language is missing? Multilingual fields fall back to the original language of the notice, so you always get a value when one exists.

What is customQuery for? It lets you append an extra TED expert-search clause (e.g. procedure-type=open), which is ANDed with your other filters.
