}About the tenders.gov.in API
This API exposes 5 endpoints covering India's Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) and GePNIC ecosystem, returning tender listings, organisation-level tender counts, portal metadata, and full tender details. Use get_latest_tenders to pull the 10 most recently published tenders — including title, reference number, closing date, and bid opening date — or use get_tenders_by_organisation to filter active tenders by any government organisation name.
Portal and Organisation Data
The get_portals endpoint returns structured metadata for every government procurement portal in the GePNIC network, broken into six categories: Central, States, CPSEs, eAuction, ePublish, and GePNIC. Each portal object carries a webUrl, webDesc, and webCode, giving you a machine-readable directory of all participating procurement systems. The get_organisations endpoint complements this by listing every organisation currently publishing active tenders, along with a tender_count per organisation.
Tender Listings and Filtering
The get_latest_tenders endpoint returns up to 10 tenders from the eProcure homepage, each with title, reference_no, closing_date, and bid_opening_date. For targeted retrieval, get_tenders_by_organisation accepts an organisation_name string (partial, case-insensitive) and scans up to 3 pages (30 tenders) of active CPPP listings, returning matching tenders with published_date, closing_date, opening_date, title, and organisation, along with a pages_scanned count.
Tender Detail Retrieval
The get_tender_detail endpoint resolves full tender details using one of two input modes. Pass tender_index (1-based) to select from the latest tenders or from a specific organisation's results by also supplying organisation_name. Alternatively, pass a sp token obtained through session chaining from a listing endpoint for direct detail access. The response contains a details object with the full tender record.
Coverage Notes
All data reflects what is currently published on the public-facing CPPP portal. The organisation filter scans at most 30 tenders (3 pages), so organisations with large tender volumes may not be fully represented in a single call. There is no date-range filtering or keyword search across endpoints in the current version.
- Monitor newly published government tenders daily using
get_latest_tendersand alert procurement teams when relevant opportunities appear. - Build an organisation-specific tender tracker by calling
get_tenders_by_organisationwith a ministry or department name and loggingclosing_datevalues. - Enumerate all GePNIC state and CPSE portal URLs from
get_portalsto build a procurement portal directory. - Compare
tender_countvalues across organisations fromget_organisationsto identify which departments are most actively procuring. - Retrieve full tender specifications via
get_tender_detailusing atender_indexfrom a prior listing call to automate bid-eligibility screening. - Track opening dates (
bid_opening_date) fromget_latest_tendersto schedule participation in upcoming government bid openings.

Does tenders.gov.in have an official developer API?+
How does `get_tenders_by_organisation` handle partial name matching, and what is the coverage limit?+
pages_scanned field in the response tells you how many pages were actually checked.Can I search for tenders by keyword, category, or tender value?+
Does the API return tenders from state-level portals, or only the central CPPP portal?+
get_latest_tenders and get_tenders_by_organisation endpoints cover the central CPPP portal listings. The get_portals endpoint returns URLs and metadata for state and CPSE portals but does not fetch tender listings from those portals. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add tender-listing endpoints for specific state portals.
