What it does.

The portal lists the calls of Horizon Europe, LIFE, Digital Europe, CERV, the European Defence Fund, Creative Europe, CEF and the other EU programmes. This tool uses the portal's public search API and returns the calls as rows you can filter, sort and load into a spreadsheet or a CRM. Cascade funding calls, the open calls run by EU funded projects, are included, and tenders of the EU institutions can be added with types.

Filter by keywords, programme, type, status and a deadline range. The portal keeps many calls marked open after their last deadline, so only calls with a deadline today or later are returned unless you include closed. A run with empty input returns the 50 calls that close soonest. The sample below comes from a search for hydrogen or artificial intelligence in Horizon Europe and LIFE on 4 October 2026, which returned 8 calls.

What a run costs

A run with the default input returns at most 50 calls, so it costs at most 1.00 USD. The run with empty input on 8 October 2026 returned 50 calls in about 5 seconds, which is 1.00 USD, and the search shown above returned 8 calls, 0.16 USD. maxResults caps every run, and platform usage is included in the price.

Run it on a schedule.

  1. Ask for new rows only

    Set onlyNew to true. The actor remembers what it has already delivered for the same input, in a named key-value store in your own Apify account (nightwave-state-eu-funding-tenders-calls).
  2. Add a schedule

    Add the actor to a schedule in Apify Console, for example with the cron expression 0 7 * * * for 07:00 every day.
  3. Get what is new

    The first run returns everything in the selection. After that, each run returns and charges only what is new. A run with nothing new finishes with 0 rows and costs nothing.
