Colombia SECOP II Contracts Scraper

What does Colombia SECOP II Contracts Scraper do?

This Actor returns contract records from SECOP II, Colombia's official electronic public procurement system, straight from the government's open data API. Each result includes the contracting entity, department and city, contract value in Colombian pesos, supplier, contract type, status, key dates and a link back to the original SECOP record. Use the keyword, department, status and date filters to keep runs small and focused, since pricing is per result returned.

Data source

Data comes from the "SECOP II - Contratos Electrónicos" dataset published by Colombia Compra Eficiente on datos.gov.co (Socrata Open Data API), which is updated by the government daily.

Why use it?

• Lead generation: find recently signed government contracts by sector, department or keyword to identify agencies and suppliers active in your market.
• Competitor and market research: see who is winning contracts with which entities, at what values, and under which contracting method.
• Compliance and spend monitoring: track contract status changes and values for entities or suppliers you already work with.
• Replaces manually searching the SECOP II web portal one province or entity at a time.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set keywords, department, status and a signed-after date to match what you are looking for.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new contracts automatically.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set maxResults to cap any run.

Limitations

• Only covers SECOP II, the platform used since 2019. Older SECOP I contracts are not in this dataset.
• startDate and city are only as complete as the entity's own filing. Many contracts do not have these fields populated at the source.
• Data reflects the government's daily publication cycle, not real time.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads the open data API that Colombia Compra Eficiente publishes for public use on datos.gov.co, and stores only the procurement information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.
