# Corporate suppliers ranked by PLACSP award procedures

`GET /api/v1/contracts/top-companies`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://openmercantil.es`
- URL: `https://openmercantil.es/api/v1/contracts/top-companies`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/openmercantil/apis/openmercantil-public-api/docs/api/v1/contracts/top-companies/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Compatibility alias of `/api/v1/tenders/suppliers`. Reads only `placsp_public_company_summary`, ranks corporate suppliers by award-procedure count and never publishes a monetary ranking or rollup. Natural persons are excluded. `province` and `cnae` are rejected until dedicated offline projections exist.
