## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper 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.

# README

## EU TED Tender, Award & Change Radar

**Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the European Union, the Publications Office of the European Union, or TED.**

Turn the official, anonymous TED Search API into a structured EU public-procurement feed. Find opportunities, awards, buyers, winners, deadlines, values, CPV codes, locations, and published change metadata without a browser or API key.

### What it delivers

- English-preferred multilingual notice title and buyer names;
- publication, notice, procedure, and version identifiers;
- buyer countries and identifiers, CPV codes, and places of performance;
- estimated procurement value, currency, submission deadlines, and days remaining;
- award winners, winner identifiers/countries, contract values, and conclusion dates when published;
- change-notice reason, description, and previous version identifier;
- canonical TED detail, XML, HTML, and PDF links;
- stateful deduplication for schedules, webhooks, API, and MCP workflows.

The default is a repeatable snapshot. Enable `onlyNew` and keep the same `stateKey` for an unseen-notice monitor.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "keywords": "cybersecurity services",
  "lookbackDays": 14,
  "countries": ["DEU", "FRA", "NLD"],
  "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
  "scope": "ACTIVE",
  "minimumEstimatedValue": 100000,
  "preferredLanguage": "eng",
  "stateKey": "eu-cyber-opportunities",
  "onlyNew": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

Advanced users can paste a complete TED expert query. The API currently allows up to 250 notices per page and a 15,000-result page-number window; this Actor uses bounded pages and a configurable scan cap.

### Pricing

The live price shown by Apify Store is the source of truth. The Actor is prepared for pay per result after creator payout onboarding; until the Store explicitly displays that model, no separate per-result fee is promised.

### Data-use note

TED notices are published by contracting authorities. Values, dates, classifications, and time zones may reflect source-entry errors. Verify a record against the linked official notice before bidding or making a commercial decision.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Full-text phrase searched across published notices. Leave empty to use only structured filters.

## `lookbackDays` (type: `integer`):

Include notices published within this many calendar days.

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

Optional ISO alpha-3 codes such as DEU, FRA, ESP, or NLD.

## `cpvCodes` (type: `array`):

Optional 8-digit Common Procurement Vocabulary codes.

## `noticeTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional TED types such as cn-standard (competition) or can-standard (award).

## `scope` (type: `string`):

ACTIVE keeps current opportunities and recent results; ALL searches the available archive within the date filter.

## `onlyLatestVersions` (type: `boolean`):

Hide superseded versions while retaining published change notices and their change metadata.

## `minimumEstimatedValue` (type: `number`):

Optional numeric threshold applied after retrieval. Compare together with estimatedValueCurrency.

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

TED three-letter language key for title and buyer name, for example eng, deu, fra, spa.

## `expertQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional complete expert query. When supplied, it replaces keywords, countries, CPV, notice type, and lookback filters.

## `maxNoticesScanned` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap before post-retrieval value filtering.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Keep unchanged across scheduled runs; use another key for another procurement feed.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Enable for schedules to skip publication numbers already delivered under this state key.

## `resetState` (type: `boolean`):

Forget saved publication numbers and replay the query window.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many dataset rows.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("signalfoundryhq/eu-ted-tender-radar").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);
});

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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("signalfoundryhq/eu-ted-tender-radar").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)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call signalfoundryhq/eu-ted-tender-radar --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,signalfoundryhq/eu-ted-tender-radar"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
