SECOP Processes Search

Search every Colombian public procurement process from SECOP II (2015 onward) and SECOP I (2004 onward) in one place. Full-text over what is being bought, plus filters on the buying entity's NIT, department, modality, contract type, status, UNSPSC category, year, publication-date range, estimated value and whether the process was awarded. Answers in milliseconds and covers both systems at once; use secop-process when you have a noticeUID and want one process with its awards and contracts.

Dataset endpoint: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries as_of.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Example:0f8e9a42-6b7c-4d1e-9a3f-2c5d7e8f9a0b

Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID). Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup: repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is always safe. The key is echoed back in the Idempotency-Key response header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt that reaches the API counts against the rate limit.
