## 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 Tenders Scraper – TED Public Procurement & Tender Search

Find public tenders across Europe from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the EU's official journal for public procurement. Every notice comes as a clean row: title, buyer, country, deadline, estimated value and currency, CPV codes, description, winners for awards, and the official PDF. Filter by keyword, country and CPV code, and schedule it for daily or weekly tender alerts.

Built for companies that sell to the public sector, bid managers and consultants, market researchers sizing public spend, competitor watchers (who won what), and AI agents that need live procurement data.

The data comes from TED's own public search API, the official source, with no login.

### What you get

- **Open calls for tender** to bid on, or **contract awards** with the winning companies, or all notices.
- **Filters:** keywords searched in the full notice text, buyer country or place of performance (EU, EEA and more), CPV codes at any level (`72` = all IT services).
- **One clean row per notice:** title, buyer, country, procedure, services/supplies/works, CPV codes, publication date, deadline, estimated value, lot title, description, winners, notice link and PDF.
- **Your language:** titles and descriptions in English or the language you pick, falling back to the original.
- **Tender alerts:** set "Published in the last ... days" to 1 and schedule the run daily; send the rows to a Google Sheet, Slack or email with an integration.

### Example output row

A real open call from Sweden:

```json
{
  "publication_number": "704487-2026",
  "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/704487-2026",
  "title": "Sweden – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – Webbanalysverktyg",
  "buyer": "Specialpedagogiska Skolmyndigheten",
  "buyer_country": "SWE",
  "notice_type": "contract notice",
  "procedure": "open",
  "cpv_codes": ["72000000", "48220000"],
  "published": "2026-10-13",
  "deadline": "2026-11-13",
  "estimated_value": 2000000.0,
  "currency": "SEK",
  "description": "Upphandling av webbanalysverktyg för övervakning och statistik av SPSM:s externa och interna webbsidor.",
  "winners": [],
  "pdf_url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/704487-2026/pdf"
}
```

### How to use

1. Click **Try for free** (or **Start**) at the top of this page to open the input form.
2. Fill in **Keywords**. Words or phrases searched in the full text of the notice (any language TED holds). The form comes with a working example, so you can also run it as it is.
3. Optional: adjust **Countries**, **CPV codes (optional)**, **Notices**, **Published in the last ... days**. Every field has a sensible default.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results as Excel, CSV or JSON from the **Output** tab, or get them through the Apify API, a schedule or an integration (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets ...).

### Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

- **$0.50 per 1,000 notices** ($0.0005 per notice).
- $0.002 per run start.

Examples: the pre-filled run (software tenders in Norway, Sweden and Denmark from the last 7 days, up to 200 notices) costs at most $0.102. A daily alert that finds 20 new notices costs $0.012 a day. Error rows are never charged.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Words or phrases in the notice text. Empty = all. |
| `countries` | Codes (NO, DEU) or English names. Empty = all. |
| `cpvCodes` | CPV codes; shorter = broader (72 = all IT services). |
| `noticeTypes` | `open` (calls to bid on), `awards` (with winners) or `all`. |
| `publishedWithinDays` | 1 for daily alerts, 7 for weekly, 0 = any time. |
| `maxResults` | Up to 10,000 (default 200). |
| `language` | en, de, fr, sv, no ... for titles and descriptions. |

### Good to know

- **Above-threshold tenders:** TED publishes the tenders that EU rules require, usually larger contracts. Small national tenders appear only on national portals.
- **Values and deadlines are from the first lot** of a notice; open the notice for every lot.
- **No contact persons:** buyer names are public bodies; contact persons are not included, and email addresses inside titles and descriptions become `[email removed]`.
- Not affiliated with the EU Publications Office.

## MCP server setup

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rowfeed/eu-tenders-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
