SECOP II Scraper: Colombia Public Tenders & Contracts

Open Colombian public tenders from SECOP II: entity, budget, modality, deadline, UNSPSC and department, filtered by keyword, entity, budget and date. $1.50 per 1,000 tenders.

Use this SECOP II API alternative to scrape Colombian public tenders from the official open dataset. Search by entity, department or UNSPSC code and export procurement results to CSV.

SECOP II is Colombia's national e-procurement platform: every national and local public entity publishes its tenders there. This Actor turns the official open dataset into a clean feed of competitive tenders you can still bid on.

Quick start

1. Press Start. The form is already filled with this example input, so the first run returns real rows in under a minute:

{
  "maxResults": 20
}

2. Swap in your own values, or call the Actor through the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n or the Python/JS clients with the same JSON.
3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or schedule the run to repeat.
