Frequently Asked Questions

Which contracts does this cover?
It covers electronic contracts published on SECOP II, Colombia's official public-procurement platform, across every department from Bogotá to Amazonas. You can filter by contracting entity, supplier, department, contract type, status, signing date and minimum value.

Can I pull every contract for one supplier?
Yes. Set the supplier NIT or document number and the scraper returns that supplier's full contract history across all government entities, which is ideal for KYC and competitor intelligence. You can also search by supplier name when you do not have the document number.

How do I find all contracts from a specific government entity?
Filter by the entity NIT to get every contract that entity has signed, or use the entity name for a broader text match. Combine it with a date range or minimum value to focus on recent or high-value awards.

Does it include payment and supplier banking details?
Yes, when the entity has published them. Records carry amounts paid, invoiced and pending, the supplier bank name and account, the legal representative document number and nationality, and the supervisor and spending authority. These fields populate on contracts that are already in execution or payment; very recently signed contracts may leave them empty.

Do I need an API key or token?
No. The datos.gov.co open-data API is public and needs no key. You can optionally supply a free Socrata application token to raise the rate limit on very large runs, but it is not required.

Do I need a proxy to run this?
No. The open-data portal is globally accessible and responds from standard datacenter connections, so runs work out of the box. An optional proxy setting is available only if you ever hit rate limits.
