Tips or Advanced options

• Always filter - a keyword, department, status, or date range keeps runs fast and relevant against a 9.2M-row dataset.
• Combine entity + status - e.g. entity contains "alcaldía" + status "Adjudicado" to see a municipality's awarded contracts.
• Track by date range - run on a schedule with a recent date window to catch newly published processes.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is this legal? SECOP II data is published by the Colombian government as open data via datos.gov.co, explicitly for public and commercial reuse - no login or paywall.

Why do some processes show "No Definido" for supplier? Not every process has been awarded yet - the actor returns exactly what SECOP II publishes for that process's current stage.
