No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: UK Contracts Finder OCDS API for search and records (contractsfinder.service.gov.uk). UK Find a Tender OCDS API for release packages and procurement processes (find-tender.service.gov.uk). TED API for EU procurement notices (api.ted.europa.eu). USAspending API for federal contract awards and recipient details (api.usaspending.gov). Limitations: UK Contracts Finder and Find a Tender APIs filter by date, stage, and identifiers only. Keyword, CPV, location, and value filtering is performed locally against returned records. TED CPV and NUTS codes are hierarchical; consult official documentation. USAspending data is limited to federal spending; state and local spending not included. Not all procurement opportunities may be available through these public APIs. Match scores are heuristic indicators and do not guarantee a chance of winning. Review each opportunity individually before submitting a bid. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings.
