EU TED Public Tenders (Official Publications Office API)

Independent tool, not affiliated with the EU Publications Office.

Extract EU public procurement notices from Tenders Electronic Daily via the official, keyless TED Search API v3. Search by keyword, buyer, CPV codes, country and publication date. Get title, buyer, dates, CPV codes, place of performance, estimated value and the notice URL — a live pipeline feed for anyone selling to the public sector. No API key, no login.

• ⏰ Never miss a deadline — deadline dates and publication dates on every notice.
• 💶 Size the deal — estimated value and currency where published.
• 🇪🇺 All member states — filter by place of performance (SE, DE, FR, …).

Authentication

TED now issues API keys from the TED Developer Portal (Manage API Keys). The actor reads the key from the TED_API_KEY environment variable and sends it in the X-API-KEY header. Set it under the actor's Environment variables in the Console.

Requests without a key still returned 200 on 2026-09-10. The actor logs a warning and falls back to keyless when TED_API_KEY is absent, so the integration keeps running but may stop without notice when the Publications Office enforces keys.
