Overview
This node integrates with the Bedrijfsdata API to retrieve various types of business-related data. Specifically, for the Other Data resource and the Get EU Tenders operation, it queries the European Tender database to fetch tender information based on a user-provided search query.
This functionality is useful for businesses or analysts who want to monitor public procurement opportunities across Europe, track tenders relevant to their industry, or gather competitive intelligence on upcoming projects.
Practical examples:
- A company looking to find new contract opportunities in the EU by searching tenders related to construction or IT services.
- Market researchers analyzing trends in public procurement by querying tenders with specific keywords.
- Consultants preparing reports on government spending by extracting tender data matching certain criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Search Query | (Required) Enter a search query string to retrieve EU tenders matching this query term. |
The property "Search Query" accepts a free-text string that is used as the main filter parameter for querying the EU Tender database.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the results returned from the Bedrijfsdata API's /tender endpoint. The structure typically includes an array of tender records matching the search query, each with details such as tender title, description, dates, and other metadata provided by the API.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP GET requests to
https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2/tender. - Proper network access and valid API credentials are necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Empty or no results: Ensure the search query is correctly specified and not empty. The query must be meaningful to return relevant tenders.
- API errors or timeouts: Check that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions. Also verify network connectivity to the Bedrijfsdata API endpoint.
- Unexpected response format: If the API changes its response schema, the node might fail to parse results properly. Confirm the API version compatibility.
- Error messages: Errors thrown during API requests will include messages like "Failed to fetch cities" or "Unexpected API response". These indicate issues with the request parameters or API availability.
