Baltic Public Tenders API — open tenders in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia

Baltic Public Tenders API gives one flat feed of public procurement notices from the three Baltic states: Latvia from the official EIS open data, Lithuania and Estonia from the EU TED service. No keys, no proxies.

What it does

• Search - by country, CPV code, keyword, value and publication date.
• Monitor - only new or changed tenders since the last run (tender alerts).
• Same fields for every country: title, buyer, CPV, value, deadline, link.
• Open-only filter for bid managers.

Who it's for

• Bid managers and tender-alert services
• Exporters and contractors selling into the Baltics
• Procurement consultants and analysts
• Lead generation teams

Pricing

Pay per event — you pay only for results, never for empty or failed lookups (not_found, invalid_input and source_error rows are free).

Event	What is charged	Price	Per 1,000
tender	Tender record	$0.004	$4
change-event	Alert event	$0.03	$30

Apify platform usage (compute, storage) is included in the event prices. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spending; the Actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached. Apify subscribers on Bronze, Silver and Gold plans get automatic discounts on the event prices.

Use with MCP, n8n, Make and Zapier

• Apify MCP server — add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tiger19935/baltic-public-tenders to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client so an AI agent can call this Actor as a tool.
• n8n / Make / Zapier — use the Apify integration, pick Run Actor, select tiger19935/baltic-public-tenders and map the dataset items. Saved Tasks + a schedule turn it into a monitor with webhooks.
• API — POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tiger19935~baltic-public-tenders/runs or the official Apify clients for JavaScript and Python.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this data? The Actor only reads official open data from the Latvian Electronic Procurement System (EIS) and the EU Publications Office (TED). Official open data and a public API. Every row carries source and sourceUrl so you can attribute it. No captcha, login or personal data of private individuals is bypassed or collected.

How fresh is the data? Each row has dataAsOf - the publication date of the source file or API. If the publisher stops updating, dataAsOf stops moving and the daily self-test run fails, so you can tell stale data from a broken Actor.

What happens when nothing is found or the source is down? You get a not_found or source_error row and you are not charged. The Actor never fails silently with an empty dataset.

How do I get alerts? Create a Task with mode: monitor, schedule it (hourly or daily) and add a webhook, or connect the Apify integration in n8n, Make or Zapier. Only new, changed and removed records are returned and charged.

Why is Estonia from TED? Tenders above EU thresholds are published in TED; national-only notices are not included.
