## FAQ

### What does the EU IT tender alerts task return?

The EU IT tender alerts task returns one row per new TED contract notice, with its title, buyer, country, CPV codes, deadline and a link to the notice.

### How does the EU IT tender alerts task avoid duplicates?

The EU IT tender alerts task runs in monitor mode, so it saves progress and each run returns only notices it hasn't returned before. The first run returns the backlog.

### Why use keywords as well as CPV codes in the EU IT tender alerts task?

Buyers often file tenders under a loose CPV code. The EU IT tender alerts task matches keywords against TED's full text, which catches tenders a CPV-only search misses.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/miacx/eu-public-tenders-ted-search-monitor.md

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`).
