Frequently Asked Questions

Which procurement does this cover?
It covers public procurement processes published on Paraguay's DNCP, the national contracting authority, following the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS). You can filter by buyer entity, awarded supplier, procurement method, category, tender object keyword and award, publication or contract-signing date range.

Can I pull every process won by one supplier?
Yes. Set the supplier RUC and the scraper returns that supplier's full awarded-process 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 RUC.

How do I find all processes from a specific government entity?
Filter by the buyer SICP code to get every process that entity has published, or use the buyer name for a broader text match. Combine it with a date range to focus on recent awards.

Do I need an API key or token?
No. The DNCP OCDS API is public and needs no key. The scraper reads only data that the agency publishes as open data.

Do I need a proxy to run this?
No. The DNCP open-data API is publicly 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.
