Deschave — Argentine Government Transparency Data

Export risk-ranked vendors, officials, suspicious cases, and official gazette alerts from deschave.com — Argentina's government transparency platform powered by open public data.

What is this?

Deschave processes millions of public procurement contracts, subsidies, asset declarations, and political donations to generate risk scores for companies and individuals that interact with the Argentine state. This actor gives you programmatic access to that data in structured, ready-to-use format.

No configuration required — just pick a dataset and run.

Example: Export top 500 high-risk vendors

{
  "dataset": "TOP_VENDORS",

}

Example: Look up entities by CUIT

{
  "dataset": "ENTITY_LOOKUP",
  "cuits": ["30715589443", "20123456789"]
}

Example: Flagged gazette acts from the last 7 days

{
  "dataset": "BO_ACTS",
  "daysBack": 7,
