# Search EU public-procurement notices from TED (Tenders...

`GET /api/gov/eu-tenders`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/gov/eu-tenders`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Search EU public-procurement notices from TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — the official journal of European public tenders. Filter by country (ISO 3-letter buyer country, e.g. DEU, FRA, ESP), cpv (Common Procurement Vocabulary code/prefix, e.g. 72000000 = IT services), and/or keyword (full-text). Each result: publication number, English title, buyer name + country, publication date, tender deadline, CPV codes, notice + procedure type, total value, and links to the notice page + PDF. Power users can pass a raw `query` in TED's expert query language (e.g. '(buyer-country=FRA) AND (FT~"hospital")'). Free, reusable EU open data (attribution). Live procurement intelligence agents can't get from training — for bid discovery, market research, and supplier monitoring across all EU member states.

## Query parameters

- `country` string
- `cpv` string
- `keyword` string
- `query` string
- `limit` integer
- `page` integer
- `trial` 1

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
