What it costs

Notices	This actor
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00
100,000	$100.00

Plus $0.001 per run. One flat price, platform usage included, so there is no separate compute or proxy bill. A daily run of 200 new notices costs about $0.20, or about $6 a month.

Why use it

• The official source. Rows come from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's journal for public procurement, through its own open search API. No key and no web page scraping.
• Open calls and results. Contract notices (open calls for tenders), results (contract awards, with the winner names) and planning notices (prior information).
• Filters done by TED. Keywords, buyer country, CPV code (a short code such as 72 matches everything under it), date range, value range and "still open" run on TED's side, so you pay only for the notices you keep.
• Big pulls are fast. A 1,000 notice run took about 85 seconds in our tests.

Quick start

1. Open the actor, type a keyword, press Start.
2. Or paste this input:

{ "keywords": ["software"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "cpvCodes": ["72"], "noticeKind": "competition", "onlyOpen": true, "daysBack": 14, "maxItems": 100 }

3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/one_dollar_store~eu-tenders-ted-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["cloud"], "daysBack": 7, "maxItems": 50}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("one_dollar_store/eu-tenders-ted-scraper").call(
    run_input={"countries": ["Germany"], "cpvCodes": ["72"], "daysBack": 7, "maxItems": 100}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["publishedOn"], item["buyerCountry"], item["buyerName"], item["title"], item.get("value"))

Use it from an AI assistant

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants can call this actor through Apify's MCP server. Add it with this server address:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=one_dollar_store/eu-tenders-ted-scraper

Then ask, for example: "Find open EU tenders for IT services published in the last 10 days with a value above 200,000 euros."

Switching from another TED actor

Most take a search text, a country and a result limit. Here they are keywords (a list), countries (two letter codes, three letter codes or names) and maxItems, with daysBack or publishedFrom and publishedTo for dates. The core fields are noticeId, title, buyerName, buyerCountry, cpvCodes, value, deadline and noticeUrl.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
keywords	list of text	none	Full text search in the notice (title, description, buyer). A notice is kept when it matches any line.
countries	list	none	Buyer countries as two letter codes (DE), three letter codes (DEU) or English names (Germany).
cpvCodes	list	none	CPV codes. A short code such as 72 or 7222 also matches every code that starts with it.
noticeKind	text	any	competition (open calls), result (contract awards) or planning (prior information).
daysBack	number	7	Notices published in the last N days (up to 3,650).
publishedFrom, publishedTo	text	none	Dates such as 2026-09-01. They replace daysBack.
onlyOpen	true or false	false	Only notices whose submission deadline has not passed.
minValue, maxValue	number	none	Keep notices whose estimated or total value is in this range, in the notice's own currency.
maxItems	number	100	Total notices for the run. Minimum 10.

Example:

{
  "keywords": ["software", "cloud services"],
  "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72"],
  "noticeKind": "competition",
  "minValue": 100000,
  "onlyOpen": true,
  "daysBack": 14,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Limits

• One row per notice. A notice with many lots is one row. Lot titles and lot values are not listed separately.
• Value is often missing. Many open calls give no value at notice level, and TED shows values per lot instead. In a 50 notice test run about half the rows had a value. minValue and maxValue drop notices with no stated value.
• Deadline is the earliest submission deadline among the lots. Result notices have none. Dates have no time of day.
• Language. Titles and buyer names come in the language the buyer used. The English text is used when TED has it.
• Keywords are matched by TED's full text search. Quotes and backslashes in keywords are removed before the search.
• Coverage. TED holds notices above the EU thresholds and some below them. Contracts a country publishes only on its own portal are not here.
• Pace. The actor makes about two requests a second and reads up to 250 notices per request. A 1,000 notice run took about 85 seconds in our tests.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 EU tenders? $10, plus $0.001 for each run.

Do I pay for compute or proxy on top? No. Platform usage is included in the $1 per 1,000 price. The actor needs no proxy.

Where does the data come from? From the search API of TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's official procurement journal. The API is open to everyone and needs no key. The actor uses no login.

Can I see who won a contract? Yes. Set noticeKind to result. Result notices list the winners in winners and the awarded total in value.

How do I get only tenders I can still bid on? Set noticeKind to competition and turn on onlyOpen.

Can I watch for new tenders every day? Yes. Schedule a daily run with daysBack set to 1 and use noticeId to drop notices you already have.

Is it legal? The actor reads public data only, with no login. TED notices are published for reuse by the EU. How you use them is up to you: follow the reuse conditions on TED, data protection law for any personal data, and the law where you live.

Is this an official EU product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Union or the Publications Office of the EU.

Do I need an Apify account? Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can sign up here. This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

Is there a limit on the free plan? Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.
