## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

16 fields per notice
32 countries coverage
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
Updated 2026-06-27
### What you get
Each record is one TED procurement notice, from prior information through contract notices to award results, with the buyer, the winning supplier, the value and the deadline. Use it for bid discovery, competitor and supplier intelligence, and public-spending analysis.
- **title**: notice title in English (country, CPV category and the buyer's own project name)
- **publicationNumber**: the TED notice number, for example 424706-2026
- **tedUrl**: direct link to the notice detail page on ted.europa.eu
- **buyerName**: name of the contracting authority (the public buyer)
- **buyerCountry**: buyer country as an ISO three-letter code, for example DEU or FRA
- **supplierName**: winning supplier or contractor, on contract award notices
- **noticeType**: type of notice, for example contract notice or contract award notice
- **procedureType**: procurement procedure, for example open or restricted
- **value**: total contract or award value when disclosed
- **currency**: currency of the value, usually EUR
- **cpvCodes**: Common Procurement Vocabulary codes that classify the work
- **place**: place of performance as NUTS region and country codes
- **publicationDate**: date the notice was published on TED
- **deadlineDate**: tender submission deadline, on open contract notices
- **observedAt**: when this notice was last seen by the scraper
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Find live tenders to bid on by country and CPV | Companies selling to the public sector |
| Track who wins contracts and at what value | Market and competitor analysts |
| Build supplier and buyer lead lists | Sales and business development teams |

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries and notices does TED cover?**
TED is the EU's official procurement journal. It publishes notices from all 27 EU member states plus the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), Switzerland and others, covering contract notices, prior information notices, contract award notices and design contests above the EU thresholds.
**How many notices can I collect in one run?**
There is no fixed cap. TED publishes thousands of notices per day, and the scraper pages through every match for your filters up to the Max Items you set. Use a tight publication-date window to keep large runs fast.
**Can I filter by country, sector or tender type?**
Yes. You can filter by buyer country, by CPV code (the EU sector classification, for example 45000000 for construction or 72000000 for IT), by notice type and by procedure type, and add a free-text keyword search. Advanced users can pass a raw TED expert query.
**Why is the value or deadline empty on some notices?**
Not every notice discloses a value, and only open contract notices carry a submission deadline. Prior information notices and many award notices leave these fields blank at the source, so the scraper returns them as empty rather than guessing.
**What date format and codes does the scraper expect?**
Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. Countries use ISO three-letter codes shown in the dropdown, and CPV codes are the standard eight-digit EU procurement codes entered comma-separated.

Maximum number of procurement notices to collect across all matching filters. Optional.
## `publicationDateFrom` (type: `string`):
Only include notices published on or after this date, format YYYY-MM-DD, for example '2026-06-01'. If left empty, the scraper defaults to the last 7 days.
## `publicationDateTo` (type: `string`):
Only include notices published on or before this date, format YYYY-MM-DD, for example '2026-06-27'. If left empty, the scraper uses today.

Filter by the country of the contracting authority (buyer). Select one or more EU, EEA or partner countries. Leave empty for all countries.
## `cpvCodes` (type: `string`):
Filter by Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes, comma-separated, for example '45000000, 72000000'. 45000000 is construction work, 72000000 is IT services, 33000000 is medical equipment, 79000000 is business services.
