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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### EU Tender Data — Procurement Intelligence API **Try free** — first 10 lots per run, no credit card, no subscription. Search EU public procurement tenders across 27 countries. Get lot-level data (not notice-level), auto-translated to English, with optional winner intelligence. ![EU Tender Intelligence Dashboard](https://pub-d85bba4a71fc4b67a53117bd6a8f5bc4.r2.dev/eu-tender-data/features.svg) ### Quick start ```json { "cpvCodes": ["72000000"], "countries": ["DE"], "maxLots": 10 } ```` Click **Try for free** → Run → Download JSON/CSV. 10 German IT tenders in ~30 seconds. ### Sample output Real data from a live run. Every result is a **lot**, not a notice: ```json { "lot_id": "202124-2026-LOT-1", "title": "Kraftstoffpumpen, elektrisch, Waffensystem Leopard", "title_en": "Fuel pumps, electric, weapon system Leopard", "language": "de", "cpv_main": "35420000", "cpv_description": "Parts of military vehicles", "buyer_name": "Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr", "country": "DEU", "procedure_type": "negotiated", "document_type": "can", "publication_date": "2026-03-22T00:00:00Z", "award": { "winner_name": "Global Logistics Support GmbH", "offers_received": 6, "is_sole_tender": false }, "change_status": "new", "source_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/202124-2026" } ``` Multi-lot notices are split automatically — a 6-lot cleaning contract becomes 6 separate searchable records, each with independent CPV codes and winners. ### What makes this different | Feature | This Actor | TED API v3 | TenderWolf | Stotles | |---------|-----------|-----------|-----------|---------| | Lot-level data | Yes | No (notice only) | No | No | | Winner rankings | Yes | No | No | No | | Single-bid detection | Yes | No | No | No | | Auto-translation | Yes (24 langs) | No | No | No | | API access | Yes | Yes (limited) | No (GUI) | No (GUI) | | Price | **$0.10/lot** | Free | EUR 79/mo | GBP 475/mo | ### Pricing **First 10 lots per run are free.** Then: | Event | Price | What you get | |-------|-------|-------------| | Lot (basic) | **$0.10** | Lot data, CPV descriptions, auto-translation, change detection | | Lot (enriched) | **$0.35** | + VIES entity resolution + winner intelligence | | Intelligence report | **$1.00** | Full CPV+country analytics: winner rankings, single-bid rate, avg bidders | | Entity lookup | **$0.05** | VAT number validation via EU VIES | | Use case | Est. cost | |----------|-----------| | 50 IT lots in Germany | ~$4 | | 100 lots across EU | ~$9 | | 200 lots with intelligence | ~$70 | ### Key fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `lot_id` | Unique: `{notice_id}-LOT-{number}` | | `title` / `title_en` | Original + English translation | | `cpv_main` / `cpv_description` | CPV code + human-readable (9,454 codes) | | `buyer_name` | Contracting authority | | `country` | Buyer country | | `value_eur` | Estimated value in EUR | | `procedure_type` | open / restricted / negotiated | | `document_type` | `cn` (tender) / `can` (award) / `pin` (prior info) | | `deadline` | Submission deadline | | `award.winner_name` | Who won (awards only) | | `award.offers_received` | Number of bidders | | `award.is_sole_tender` | Only 1 bidder? (competition flag) | | `change_status` | `new` / `modified` / `unchanged` vs previous run | With enrichment: `buyer_entity_id`, `buyer_vat_valid`, `top_winners[]`. ### Use cases **IT services monitoring** — Track new IT tenders in Germany. 3,650+ IT procurement notices per month on TED. ```json { "cpvCodes": ["72000000"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "maxLots": 100 } ``` **Energy infrastructure** — 1,300+ energy tenders/month. LNG, grid, pipeline projects. ```json { "cpvCodes": ["09000000"], "countries": ["DE", "FR", "PL", "IT"], "enrichWithEntities": true } ``` **Defense procurement** — EUR 88B in EU defense spending. Winner intelligence shows who competes. ```json { "cpvCodes": ["35000000"], "enrichWithWinners": true, "intelligenceYearsBack": 3 } ``` **Competition analysis** — Enable `enrichWithWinners` to get winner rankings, single-bid rates, and average bidder counts for any CPV + country. ### Integration ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN") run = client.actor("digital_troubadour/eu-tender-data").call(run_input={ "cpvCodes": ["72000000"], "countries": ["DE"], "maxLots": 50, }) for lot in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): title = lot.get("title_en") or lot["title"] print(f"{lot['lot_id']}: {title}") print(f" {lot['cpv_main']} — {lot['cpv_description']}") ``` Schedule daily runs via **Apify Schedules** with webhooks to Slack, email, or your CRM. ### Data source All data from [TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)](https://ted.europa.eu) — the EU's official public procurement platform. 76,000+ notices per month, public domain, updated daily. Both XML formats handled automatically: eForms (UBL 2.3, since 2022) and legacy TED-XML (F02/F03/F05/F06 forms). ### FAQ **How is this different from TED API v3?** TED API returns notice-level data. Multi-lot notices can't be split reliably. We download and parse the full XML of every notice into lot-level records with CPV descriptions, translation, winner intelligence, and change detection. **Is the data legal?** Yes. EU public procurement notices are public domain by design. **What about rate limits?** We enforce TED's 700 req/min limit automatically. Typical run: 30-120 seconds for 100 lots. **Can I use this with AI agents?** Yes. Structured JSON output designed for LangChain, Claude, AutoGPT. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Search: query TED API v3 on-demand with filters. Bulk: download and parse full daily/monthly XML packages. ## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`): CPV code prefixes to filter by. Prefix match (e.g., '72' matches all IT services, '35' matches defense). Leave empty for all sectors. ## `countries` (type: `array`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes to filter by (e.g., DE, FR, IT).

Defaults to today. ## `minValueEur` (type: `integer`): Minimum estimated lot value in EUR. Only lots above this value are returned. ## `maxValueEur` (type: `integer`): Maximum estimated lot value in EUR. Only lots below this value are returned. ## `procedureTypes` (type: `array`): Filter by procurement procedure type. Leave empty for all. ## `documentTypes` (type: `array`): cn = Contract Notice (open tenders). can = Contract Award Notice (who won). pin = Prior Information Notice. ## `maxLots` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of lots to return.
