Demo: eForms Procurement Search

Search TED procurement notices using eForms BT fields. Filter by CPV code, buyer country, procedure type, and contract value — then compare across EU member states.

Prerequisites

• A Pauhu account (free tier: 3 requests/day)
• An API key — generate one at staging.pauhu.eu/keys

All examples use curl. The same queries work in the search interface with no code.

1 Search by CPV code

curl -X POST "https://staging.pauhu.eu/v1/search" \

    "filters": {
      "bt_262_cpv": "72000000",
      "bt_514_country": ["FI", "SE"],
      "bt_27_value_min": 500000
    },
    "lang": "en",
