EU tenders (TED) search API and alerts

Short answer: Use the Apify Actor wsystem/eu-tenders-search. It calls the official TED v3 Search API of the EU Publications Office and returns flat JSON notices (title, buyer, country, CPV, deadline, estimated value, URL, PDF). Filter by keywords, CPV codes, countries, notice type and value; Monitor mode returns only notices you have not seen, for daily alerts. AI agents can call it via the Apify MCP server.

Key facts

Source: TED – Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU's official journal for public procurement (EU Publications Office), via its v3 Search API. No scraping.
