Korea Public Tenders Scraper - KONEPS 나라장터 Bids & Awards

Korea Public Tenders Scraper: KONEPS 나라장터 Bids & Awards

Get South Korean government tenders as clean JSON / CSV / Excel with English field names. Every row comes from the official open API of KONEPS (Nara Jangteo, 나라장터), the national e-procurement system run by the Public Procurement Service (조달청), where central government, local governments, schools, hospitals and public companies post their bids.

Pick categories (goods, services, construction, foreign procurement), optionally add title keywords, an agency or a price range, and get every matching bid notice with agency, estimated price, deadlines, region restrictions and document links. Turn on award results to also see who won, at what price and against how many bidders. No scraping of web pages and no login: the data comes from the government's public API.

What you can use it for

• Find bids to win: daily list of new Korean tenders in your field (software, cloud, AI, consulting, medical equipment, cleaning, construction...) with deadlines and documents.
• Tender alerts: schedule the Actor every morning with daysBack: 1 and send new notices to Slack, email or your CRM.
• Competitor and market intelligence: with award results, see which companies win which agencies' contracts and at what winning rate.
• Market entry research for foreign companies: size the Korean public market for your product by category, agency and budget.
• Sales pipelines for local partners and consultants working with Korean public buyers.

Pricing

Pay per result: $3 per 1,000 rows (notices or award results). Region restrictions and USD amounts cost nothing extra. A typical daily run of all new notices in one field costs a few cents.

Good to know

• Titles, agencies and methods are in Korean, exactly as published, so you can search and match on the original text. Field names, categories, dates (ISO 8601, Korea time) and numbers are normalized.
• Revisions: a notice that is changed or re-posted appears with a new notice_revision; each revision is a separate row.
• Keyword search is a title substring match done by the official API. Short words can match more than you expect (청소 also matches 청소년), so prefer specific words.
• Daily API quota: the official API has a daily request limit. Normal runs use a handful of requests (up to 999 notices per request), but pulling many months across all categories at once may hit it; the run then stops with a clear warning and keeps what it already saved.
• Award results are selected by the date the award was registered, using the same date range, not by the original notice date.
• Personal data is left out: the Actor does not return the names, phone numbers or emails of procurement officers or company CEOs.

FAQ

Is there an English API for Korean government tenders? Yes, this Actor. It wraps the official KONEPS open API and returns English field names, ISO dates and numeric prices, so you do not need a data.go.kr account or to read the Korean API documentation.

How do I get daily alerts for new Korean tenders? Create a task with your categories and keywords, set daysBack to 1 and schedule it every morning (Korea time). Connect the dataset to Slack, email, Google Sheets or a webhook with Apify integrations.

Can foreign companies bid on these tenders? Most notices require registration on KONEPS and often a Korean business presence; is_international marks international bids, and the foreign category covers foreign procurement handled by PPS. Read the attached notice document for each bid's eligibility rules.

Can I see who won past tenders? Yes. Turn on includeAwards and use a date range. You get the winning company, its business registration number, the winning amount, the winning rate and the number of bidders.

What is the difference between ordering agency and demand agency? The ordering agency (공고기관) posts and runs the bid, often the Public Procurement Service itself; the demand agency (수요기관) is the organization that actually needs the goods or service.
