Paraguay DNCP Public Procurement (OCDS)

Search Paraguay DNCP (Dirección Nacional de Contrataciones Públicas) public procurement processes via the official Datos API v3 and return structured OCDS notice/contract rows: ocid, title, buyer, dates, value, status and source URL.

No API key for search/record. Official public open data (CC BY 4.0).

Docs: DNCP Datos API v3
Endpoints used:

• GET …/datos/api/v3/doc/search/processes (filters: keyword / ocid / date range)
• GET …/datos/api/v3/doc/ocds/record/{ocid} (compiled release detail)

---

What it does

1. Builds a filtered search against DNCP search/processes (requires at least one filter — keyword, ocid, or date range).
2. Optionally fetches each hit’s compiled OCDS release for buyer, value, status and periods.
3. Writes one Dataset row per process (ocid).

Scope is intentionally focused (search + detail) — not a full DNCP mirror.

Who it's for

• LatAm bid desks and BR→PY procurement consultants
• Infrastructure / public-works data rooms
• Compliance and supplier-intel agents that already use PNCP-style Actors
• ETL jobs that need official OCDS JSON, not scraped HTML
