Guides

• The UK publishes every public contract as OCDS JSON — and the money isn't where you'd look — Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, the UK's two official procurement portals, both have free key-free OCDS APIs. The award value is rarely on the award, one rate-limit error is plain text (not JSON), and the other silently caps every page at 100 rows unless you ask it exactly the right way.

Only publicly accessible pages are read. Respect the source site's terms when using the data.
