}About the sercotec.cl API
The Sercotec API exposes 5 endpoints covering Chile's SME funding ecosystem, including program listings, call availability by region, and downloadable application documents. The get_open_calls_by_region endpoint lets you filter active and closed funding calls by any of Chile's 16 regions and by instrument type, returning structured call data suitable for automated monitoring or eligibility tools.
Program Discovery
list_all_programs returns every Sercotec funding program as an array of objects, each carrying a name, slug, category, and instrument_id. These slugs feed directly into get_program_detail, which returns the full program record: description, funding_support, eligibility, how_to_apply, and the canonical url. This makes it straightforward to build a program directory or eligibility screener without maintaining your own list of slugs.
Open Calls and Application Documents
get_open_calls_by_region accepts an optional region_id (integer 0–16, where 0 means all regions) and an optional instrument_id (0 for all, or specific values such as 1 for Emprende, 2 for Crece, 4 for Impulso Emprendedor, 6 for Pymes Global). The response contains a calls array with both active and closed entries. Each call object includes a link_ficha field, which you can pass as call_url to get_program_application_bases. That endpoint returns a bases array of PDF document links for that specific call — the downloadable bases documents applicants need.
Regional Office Data
get_regions_and_offices returns a regions array of region objects with IDs and slugs when called without parameters. Passing a region_slug such as 'metropolitana' or 'valparaiso' switches the response to an offices array scoped to that region, along with the resolved region name. This is useful for building regional resource directories or routing applicants to the correct Sercotec office.

Does Sercotec offer an official developer API?+
What does `get_open_calls_by_region` return and how do I filter it?+
calls array combined from active and closed listings. You filter by region_id (integer 1–16 for a specific region, 0 for all) and by instrument_id (0 for all instruments, or specific values: 1 Emprende, 2 Crece, 4 Impulso Emprendedor, 6 Pymes Global). Both parameters are optional, so omitting both returns all calls across the country.Does the API return historical call data or award outcomes?+
Are contact details or phone numbers included in the regional office data?+
get_regions_and_offices endpoint returns an offices array for a given region slug, but specific fields such as phone numbers or individual staff contacts depend on what Sercotec publishes per region. The response covers office-level data available on the regional pages. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to extract additional contact fields if they appear on those pages.
