## Pricing

from $10.20 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

## EU CORDIS Research Projects & Funding Scraper

> Extract EU-funded research projects from CORDIS (Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, FP7 and earlier) with funding, timeline, coordinator and full partner list. Filter by keyword, programme, country and year and export clean structured data for research, market intelligence and lead generation.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Market intelligence | Analysts mapping who wins EU research funding and how much |
| Lead generation | Vendors targeting funded coordinators and consortium partners |
| Research | Academics and policy teams studying funding trends and topics |
| Partnerships | Teams finding potential partners active in a topic or country |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **search keywords** (for example `hydrogen`, `artificial intelligence`, `cancer`).
2. Optionally filter by **framework programme**, **country**, **year range** or **status**.
3. Set **Max Projects To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

You are only charged for real projects returned. Empty runs cost nothing.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Which programmes are covered?**
Horizon Europe (HORIZON), Horizon 2020 (H2020), FP7 and earlier framework programmes. Filter to one or several with the programmes field.

**Can I get only projects from a specific country?**
Yes. Add ISO country codes (for example `DE`, `FR`, `ES`) to the countries filter to keep only projects that involve an organisation from those countries.

**Does it include the full partner list?**
Yes. Each record includes the coordinator plus every participant organisation with its country, and a count of participants.

**How fresh is the data?**
Projects are read live at run time, so each record reflects the source at the moment of the run (see observedAt and lastUpdateDate).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

One or more keywords or topics to search across CORDIS projects (for example 'hydrogen', 'artificial intelligence', 'cancer'). Each keyword runs its own search and the results are merged. Leave empty to list all projects.

## `programmes` (type: `array`):

Optional. Keep only projects funded under these EU framework programmes. Use codes such as HORIZON (Horizon Europe), H2020 (Horizon 2020), FP7 or FP6.

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

Optional. Keep only projects that involve at least one organisation from these countries. Use 2-letter ISO codes such as DE, FR, ES, IT, NL.

## `fromYear` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Only include projects that start in or after this year.

## `toYear` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Only include projects that start in or before this year.

## `status` (type: `string`):

Optional. Filter by project status.

## `maxProjects` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of projects to collect across all keywords. Optional.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "hydrogen"
