## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## EU TED Procurement Notice Search — official api.ted.europa.eu, no login

Search **TED (Tenders Electronic Daily)** — the official portal for public procurement notices
across all 27 EU member states plus the EEA/EFTA area. Over 740,000 tender notices are
published here every year. This actor calls TED's own public Search API (`api.ted.europa.eu`)
directly — no login, no API key, no scraping of the ted.europa.eu website.

### Licensing

TED's own legal notice: "Procurement notices published in the Supplement to the Official
Journal of the European Union can be freely reused, for commercial or non-commercial
purposes." EU institutional content defaults to CC BY 4.0 (attribution required for
reuse of editorial content; the notices themselves are explicitly free to reuse).

### Tested (2026-09-02)

| Query | Notices found (ACTIVE scope) |
|---|---:|
| `classification-cpv=72000000 AND buyer-country=DEU` (IT services, Germany) | 4,764 |
| `classification-cpv=72000000` (IT services, all countries) | 33,158 |

### EU tenders API — input

```json
{
  "targets": ["72000000:DEU", "45000000:FRA,ITA"],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

Each target is a **CPV code** (Common Procurement Vocabulary — the EU's standard product/
service category code, e.g. `72000000` = IT services, `45000000` = construction work),
optionally followed by `:COUNTRY` (ISO 3-letter buyer country code). Comma-separate multiple
CPV codes or multiple countries for an OR match. Omit the CPV and start with `:` to filter
by country only (e.g. `:DEU`). Results are open/active notices, newest first.

### EU tenders API — output fields

One dataset item per notice:

| Field | |
|---|---|
| `publication_number` | TED's notice ID (e.g. `603485-2026`) |
| `notice_type` | notice category code (e.g. `can-standard`) |
| `title` | notice title (English where TED provides it) |
| `buyer_name` | contracting authority / buyer name(s) |
| `buyer_country` | buyer country code(s) (ISO3) |
| `buyer_city` | buyer city/cities |
| `publication_date` | date published on TED |
| `cpv_codes` | CPV classification codes on this notice |
| `notice_url` | direct link to the full notice on ted.europa.eu |

### Use Cases

- **Government sales / BD**: surface new EU tender opportunities by CPV code and country
  before competitors see them
- **Market research**: measure total public procurement volume by sector, country, or
  buyer over time
- **Procurement monitoring dashboards**: feed fresh TED notices into a CRM or BI tool
  instead of checking the TED website manually
- **Competitive intelligence**: track which buyers (contracting authorities) a specific
  competitor is winning contracts from

### Why this over TED's own website

ted.europa.eu's search is a browser UI for one query at a time. This actor runs a batch of
CPV/country combinations and hands back structured rows — for sales/BD pipelines tracking
new government contract opportunities, market research, or feeding a monitoring dashboard.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$2.00 per 1,000 notice records** collected. Nothing else.

# Actor input Schema

## `targets` (type: `array`):

調達分野を表す CPV コード（例: 72000000=IT関連サービス）を指定。':' の後にカンマ区切りで発注国（ISO3、例 DEU,FRA）を絞り込める。CPV を省略して ':DEU' のように国だけの指定も可。CPV・国どちらも複数指定は OR 条件になる

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

1 run で取得する最大件数

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "targets": [
    "72000000:DEU"
  ],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `items` (type: `string`):

取得した各件（type=item）と、選択した分析の結果（type=analysis）

## `overview` (type: `string`):

件数・平均評点・期間・ネガティブ比率（下側信頼限界つき）

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "targets": [
        "72000000:DEU"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pappy-dev/eu-ted-procurement").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "targets": ["72000000:DEU"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("pappy-dev/eu-ted-procurement").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "targets": [
    "72000000:DEU"
  ]
}' |
apify call pappy-dev/eu-ted-procurement --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pappy-dev/eu-ted-procurement"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
