## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## EU TED Public Tenders, Procurement & Contract Awards B2B API (TED v3 + MCP)

Monitor **EUR 670+ Billion/year in European Union government & public-sector contracts** across all 27 EU member states + EEA directly via the **official EU TED Search API v3** — **100% browserless, zero API keys, sub-second execution in 256 MB RAM**.

Built for **IT & Software Consultancies**, **B2B Vendors**, **Construction/Medical/Defense Suppliers**, **Clay.com**, **n8n**, **Make**, and **MCP AI Agents**.

***

### Key Capabilities

1. **Zero Expert-Query Complexity**: Automatically translates simple filters (`keywords`, `countries` in ISO-2 like `CZ`, `DE`, `PL`, `FR` or ISO-3 `CZE`, `DEU`, `cpvPrefixes` like `72` IT Services / `48` Software, `noticeStage`, `minValueEur`) into valid **TED v3 Expert Queries** — while still supporting raw `customExpertQuery` for advanced procurement analysts.
2. **Two High-ROI B2B Workflows**:
   - **`OPEN_TENDERS`**: Catch new RFPs and contract notices with `submissionDeadline`, `buyerEmail`, and localized PDF tender documents.
   - **`CONTRACT_AWARDS`**: Extract newly awarded contracts (`winnerNames` + `totalValue`) so your B2B sales team can pitch subcontracting, staffing, software, or equipment directly to winning prime contractors.
3. **Multilingual Localization**: Request localized titles and official PDF links in `ENG`, `CES`, `DEU`, `FRA`, `POL`, `SPA`, `ITA`, `NLD`, or `SLK` with automatic native fallback.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keywords matched across tender titles and full text (e.g. \['software', 'cloud', 'cybersecurity']). Leave empty to match all tenders in selected countries/CPVs.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Filter by EU/EEA buyer countries (e.g. \['CZ', 'DE', 'AT', 'PL', 'SK'] or \['CZE', 'DEU']). Leave empty for all European countries.

## `cpvPrefixes` (type: `array`):

CPV prefixes or full 8-digit codes (e.g. '72' for IT/Software Services, '48' for Software Packages, '45' for Construction, '33' for Medical, '79' for Consulting).

## `noticeStage` (type: `string`):

Filter for open bidding opportunities (OPEN_TENDERS), awarded contracts with winning vendors for B2B subcontracting (CONTRACT_AWARDS), or ALL.

## `publishedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Fetch tenders published in the last N days.

## `minValueEur` (type: `integer`):

When > 0, filters to notices disclosing a total value >= this threshold.

## `preferredLanguage` (type: `string`):

3-letter language code for localized title and PDF link (automatically falls back to native notice language).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of public procurement records to return.

## `customExpertQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional raw TED v3 Expert Query string (e.g. 'PD >= 20261001 AND classification-cpv = 72\*'). Overrides standard filters when non-empty.

## `includeMcpMarkdown` (type: `boolean`):

Adds an LLM-ready 'mcpMarkdown' summary field for Claude, Cursor, Clay, and n8n AI Agents.

    "cloud"
  ],
  "countries": [

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ramirez911/eu-ted-public-tenders-api"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
