## 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.

## 📋 EU TED Tender Monitor · European Public Procurement

Monitor EU public tenders from **TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)** — the official EU procurement journal. Filter by CPV code, country, keyword, and date; built for B2B sellers, bid teams, and market-intel analysts.

### ⚡ What you get
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `publicationNumber` | TED notice ID |
| `title` | Notice title (English) |
| `buyer` / `country` | Contracting authority + country |
| `publishedDate` / `deadline` | Timeline |
| `noticeType` | Contract notice / award / etc. |
| `url` | Link to the full notice |

### 🎯 Use cases
1. B2B vendors tracking relevant public contracts
2. Bid / proposal teams monitoring deadlines
3. Market-intel analysts sizing public demand by CPV
4. Consultancies watching competitor awards

### 🚀 Sample inputs
```json
{ "cpvCodes": ["72000000"], "countries": ["DEU","FRA"], "sinceDays": 14 }
````

```json
{ "cpvCodes": ["45000000"], "keyword": "bridge", "maxResults": 100 }
```

### 📦 Sample output

```json
{ "publicationNumber": "189976-2026", "title": "IT services framework", "buyer": "European Banking Authority", "country": "FRA", "publishedDate": "2026-06-01", "deadline": "2026-07-15", "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/189976-2026" }
```

### 📊 Sample Output

### 🛠 How it works

1. **Source** — official TED API v3 (`api.ted.europa.eu`), no login.
2. **Query** — builds an expert query from CPV + country + date + keyword.
3. **Normalize** — picks English values from TED's multilingual fields.
4. **Schema** — one row per notice with a direct link.
5. **Schedule** — run daily; route new tenders to your CRM/Slack via n8n.

### ⚖️ Legal & data sources

Data from the official EU **TED** open-data API (re-use permitted under the EU open-data licence). Identified User-Agent.

### ❓ FAQ

**What are CPV codes?** The EU Common Procurement Vocabulary — a category taxonomy (e.g. 72000000 = IT services).
**Which countries?** All EU/EEA; filter with ISO 3-letter codes.
**Do I need a key?** No.
**Fresh?** Live from TED; use `sinceDays` for the window.
**Awards too?** Yes — all notice types; filter downstream by `noticeType`.
**Languages?** Output is normalised to English where available.

### 🆘 Troubleshooting

- **0 results** — widen `sinceDays`, drop the country filter, or check the CPV code.
- **Wrong sector** — refine `cpvCodes`.
- **Missing deadline** — some notice types have no tender deadline.
- **Too many** — narrow CPV/country or lower `maxResults`.
