Working with European public procurement data through the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform is crucial for many civic and business projects. However, dealing with the official API or massive data dumps can be challenging due to the complexity of XML/JSON schemes and query structure. A common scenario involves extracting daily software development tenders in Spain and structuring them in a database, which requires writing repetitive code.
