## 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 Feed (TED)

Get open EU public tenders as clean rows: title (English country + category prefix, then original-language title), buyer, country,
city, buyer email & website, submission deadline, estimated value, CPV codes, procedure, and direct links to the notice and PDF.

**Who it's for:** bid consultants, B2B sales teams selling to governments, SaaS/IT, construction, and energy firms.

### Why this one

- **Official source, legal to reuse.** Uses the EU's official TED Search API. TED notices "can be freely reused, for commercial or
  non-commercial purposes" (ted.europa.eu/en/legal-notice). No login, no proxies, no blocking.
- **Daily lead feed.** Turn on *Only new since last run* and schedule daily — you get only fresh tenders, never duplicates.
- **Filters that matter:** keyword, country, CPV prefix (matches any CPV code on the notice, not only the main one), date range, minimum value, open-only.
- **Flat, spreadsheet-ready output** (one row per tender, total value summed across lots, earliest deadline).
- Cheap: pay only per tender returned.

### Example input

```json
{"keywords":["software"],"countries":["DEU","IRL"],"cpvPrefixes":["72"],"minValue":100000,"onlyNewSinceLastRun":true,"maxItems":500}
```

### Output fields

noticeId, title, titleEnglishAvailable, buyerName, buyerCountry, buyerCity, buyerEmail, buyerWebsite, publicationDate,
submissionDeadline, estimatedValueTotal, currency, lotCount, cpvCodes, mainCpv, procedureType, noticeType, contractNature,
placeOfPerformance, url, pdfUrl, source.

Notes: only ~1/3 of notices publish an estimated value. Source: TED — Tenders Electronic Daily, © European Union. Always check the
official notice before bidding. Not affiliated with the EU Publications Office.

### Pricing

$1.70 per 1,000 tenders (pay per result). No start fee.

# 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 = {
    "keywords": [
        "software"
    ],
    "noticeTypes": [
        "cn-standard",
        "cn-social"
    ],
    "maxItems": 50
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapeworkshq/eu-tenders-feed").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 = {
    "keywords": ["software"],
    "noticeTypes": [
        "cn-standard",
        "cn-social",
    ],
    "maxItems": 50,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapeworkshq/eu-tenders-feed").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)

## MCP server setup

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

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).
