Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability eu-ted-public-tenders-contract-awards-search-8eba49da -d '' ``` Example prompt: Search TED EU tenders for 'cybersecurity' contracts in Germany and show me up to 20 results, only open tenders please. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable EU public procurement data from TED (the official EU tender journal), particularly when searching by keyword and optionally filtering by EU country and open/closed status. Prefer this over scraping TED directly or using general web search when you need structured fields like CPV codes, deadlines, estimated values, and notice types in a single API call. Not suitable for non-EU procurement, national-only tenders not published in TED, or real-time bid submission. ## Known failure modes - Missing required 'buscar' keyword returns a validation error - Invalid country ISO code may return zero results or an error - Limit outside 1-50 range may be rejected or clamped - Keyword with no matches returns empty anuncios array with total=0 - TED data source unavailable may cause timeout or upstream error - Network or payment authorization failure returns HTTP error ## How this service works Public tenders and contract awards from all EU countries published in TED (Official Journal of the EU) by keyword and country: title, buyer, notice type, date, tender deadline, estimated value, CPV codes and link. Option: only open tenders. ## Output Returns a JSON object with the search keyword, country filter applied, total number of matching notices, data source attribution (TED/Official Journal of the EU), and an array of up to 50 tender notices. Each notice includes: title, buyer/contracting authority, country, notice type (e.g. contract award, contract notice), publication date, offer deadline, estimated value, CPV codes (procurement category codes), TED notice link, and notice reference number. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method", "bodyType", "body" ], "properties": { "body": { "required": [ "buscar" ], "properties": { "pais": { "type": "string", "description": "EU country ISO code (optional)" }, "buscar": { "type": "string" }, "limite": { "type": "integer", "description": "1-50 (default 10)" }, "solo_abiertas": { "type": "boolean" } } }, "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "POST" ], "type": "string" }, "bodyType": { "enum": [ "json", "form-data", "text" ], "type": "string" } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": [ "object", "null" ], "properties": { "pais": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "total": { "type": [ "number", "null" ] }, "fuente": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "anuncios": { "type": [ "array", "null" ], "items": { "type": [ "null", "object" ], "properties": { "cpv": { "type": [ "array", "null" ], "items": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] } }, "pais": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "tipo": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "enlace": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "numero": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "titulo": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "comprador": { "type": [ "null", "string" ] }, "publicado": { "type": [ … (truncated) ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "pais": "ES", "total": 45449, "fuente": "TED, Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea (reutilización libre)", "anuncios": [ { "cpv": [ "72200000", "72212180", "72212900", "72220000", "72230000", "72240000" ], "pais": "ESP", "tipo": "can-standard", "enlace": "https://ted.europa.eu/es/notice/-/detail/678311-2026", "numero": "678311-2026", "titulo": "España – Servicios de programación de software y de consultoría – Servicio de Mantenimiento y Soporte de la Historia Clínica del SAMU (MEDICALPAD) para el Servicio de Emergencias Sanitarias C.V.", "comprador": "Servicio de Emergencias Sanitarias de la Comunitat Valenciana.
