How TED EU Procurement Scraper Works

1. Pick your filters — notice types, countries, CPV codes, NUTS regions, date range, minimum value, SME-only
2. The scraper composes a TED Expert Search query and paginates the API 100 records per page
3. Each notice is flattened into a row-per-notice record with consistent field names across all four notice kinds
4. Results stream into the Apify dataset — you can export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or feed directly into another actor

FAQ

How do I scrape TED EU procurement data?

TED EU Procurement Scraper uses the public TED Expert Search API v3 — no API key, no account, no proxy. Pick your filters, set maxItems, and run. The actor paginates the API 100 records per page until it hits your cap or exhausts the query.

How much does TED EU Procurement Scraper cost to run?

Pricing is pay-per-event: a small fee per actor start plus a fraction of a cent per record saved. A full year of German contracts (≈50K records) runs roughly a few dollars. Pulling 100 records costs basically nothing.

Can I filter by CPV code or NUTS region?

Yes. Pass cpvCodes as an array of 8-digit codes and nutsCodes as an array of NUTS identifiers. The filters are applied server-side as OR groups, so cpvCodes: ["71220000", "71200000"] returns any notice matching either code.

Does this return award notices with the winner?

Yes — that's the point of the actor. Set noticeTypes: ["award"] and the output includes winnerName, winnerCountry, winnerIsSme, awardedValueEur, awardedValueCurrency, and subcontractors on every record where TED has that data. Coverage varies by publishing authority; large EU central buyers are most consistent.

What languages are the titles and descriptions in?

TED publishes notices in the buyer's language and also provides a translation in each of the 24 EU languages for machine-readable fields. Set preferredLanguage to your desired code (eng, fra, deu, ita, spa, pol, nld, por, ces, swe). The scraper returns the requested language if available and falls back to English or any other available language. The chosen language is reported in titleLanguage.

Does TED EU Procurement Scraper need a proxy?

No. TED is a public EU portal with a rate-friendly API. The actor makes one request every 200ms and handles pagination cleanly up to the API's total-count limit.
