DNCP Paraguay Scraper: Licitaciones & Public Tenders

Paraguayan public tenders from DNCP's official OCDS API: open bids, new calls or awards with buyer, value, items, deadlines and winning companies. $1.20 per 1,000 tenders.

Use this DNCP API alternative to scrape Paraguay public tenders from the official Dirección Nacional de Contrataciones Públicas OCDS API. Search licitaciones and awards and export results to CSV.

Paraguay's Dirección Nacional de Contrataciones Públicas publishes every public procurement in the Open Contracting Data Standard, from the call for bids through award and contract. This Actor turns it into a filtered, flat list.

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": 50
}

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.
