Tenderned Scraper

What does TenderNed Scraper do?

TenderNed Scraper collects public procurement announcements from TenderNed — the Dutch platform for European and national tenders. It returns structured JSON you can use in spreadsheets, CRMs, BI tools, or your own apps.

The Actor uses the same public data as the TenderNed website (official JSON endpoints behind the overview pages). No TenderNed account or API key is required.

You can:

• Search tenders by keyword and date range (e.g. last 30 days)
• Browse recent publications with an empty search and a date preset
• Open specific tenders by publication ID or overview URL
• Optionally load full detail (CPV codes, TED number, reference, keywords) and document lists with download links (metadata only — files are not downloaded into the dataset)

Why use this Actor?

• Monitor new opportunities — schedule runs and get fresh tenders in your Apify dataset
• Market research — filter by keyword, procedure, or contracting authority fields in the output
• Integrations — export JSON, CSV, Excel, or call results via the Apify API
• Predictable limits — cap pages and results so large searches stay under control

See the Input and Output tabs in Apify Console for the full schema and optional raw JSON fields.

Search mode vs direct lookup (read this first)

The Actor picks the mode automatically — there is no extra toggle.

Your input	What happens
Publication IDs and/or Start URLs are filled in	Direct lookup — only those tenders are scraped. Search keywords and date filters are ignored.
Both are empty	Search — uses keywords if you entered them; if Search keywords is empty, it browses tenders in the Publication date preset (e.g. last 30 days).

How to scrape TenderNed

1. Open this Actor on Apify and click Start.
2. Pick a mode using the table above:
   • Search / browse — leave Publication IDs and Start URLs empty. Optionally fill Search keywords; set Max search pages and Max publications from search.
   • Specific tenders — add Publication IDs or Start URLs (e.g. https://www.tenderned.nl/aankondigingen/overzicht/440107). Do not rely on search fields in this case.
3. Turn on Include full publication detail for CPV, TED, and reference fields (recommended).
4. Include document list is on by default (file names and download links). Turn it off to save API calls.
5. Start the run and download the dataset from the Output tab (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and more).

Browse recent tenders (no keyword)

Leave Search keywords empty, set Publication date preset (e.g. last 30 days), and limits. Use Sort order → Publication date for newest first.

{
  "search": "",
  "publicatieDatumPreset": "AF30",
  "sort": "publicatiedatum",
  "pageSize": 10,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "maxResults": 10,
  "includeDetail": true
}

Scrape one tender by ID

{
  "publicatieIds": ["440107"],
  "includeDetail": true
}

Input

Configure everything from the Input tab in Console. Main options:

Option	Purpose
search	Keyword filter; empty = browse by date preset (when no IDs/URLs)
publicatieIds / startUrls	Direct lookups; if set, search is not run
publicatieDatumPreset	Limit by publication date (e.g. AF30)
sort	Relevance, publication date, or closing date
maxPages / maxResults / pageSize	Pagination and caps
includeDetail / includeDocuments	On by default; turn off to skip extra API calls
maxRequestsPerMinute	Throttling (default is suitable for most runs)
proxyConfiguration	Usually not needed; available if your network requires it

Output

Each run writes one dataset row per publication. You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS, or fetch them with the Apify API.

By default, each row includes full publication detail and a documents array (file names, types, sizes, and download URLs). File bytes are not stored in Apify — only links.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event on Apify (see the Pricing tab on the Store listing for current rates). Charges typically apply per publication saved and per search results page fetched. Set a maximum cost in the run options if you want a hard spending cap.

Exact pricing depends on your Apify plan and the Actor’s configured events in Console. For setup, see docs/APIFY_BILLING_SETUP.md.

Tips

• Use maxResults and maxPages on first runs to estimate volume before a large crawl.
• Turn off includeDocuments if you only need summary fields and want fewer API calls per tender.
• Sort by publication date when you care about the newest notices, not relevance ranking.
• Schedule the Actor in Apify to check for new tenders daily or weekly.
