# Public procurement of a Portuguese company

Every week IMPIC publishes, as open data (public domain), every Portuguese public contract registered on Portal BASE since 2012 — about 170,000 to 250,000 contracts a year, thirty-nine fields each, with contract modifications and the notices of the Diário da República. This route finds a company by its NIPC, as winner and as buyer.

## What the route returns

Catalogue description, exactly as agents read it:

**Public-procurement record of a Portuguese company from IMPIC's Portal BASE (weekly open-data files on dados.gov.pt, public domain; every public contract since 2012): contracts WON by NIPC — buyer, subject, procedure, CPV, lots, contract, base and final prices in EUR, dates, duration, framework agreement, closure, bidder count, contract modifications — contracts ISSUED as a buyer and notices in the Diário da República; newest first, capped at 100. Winners without a published NIF are never named.**

## Expected identifier

Nine-digit **NIPC** (check digit verified; PT prefix, dots and spaces tolerated), e.g. 504904493.

> ⚠️ A wrongly formatted identifier in the **path** returns `400` and is **not billed** — but it costs you a round trip. It is the leading cause of failed calls on the foreign routes. A **search** parameter, by contrast, is cleaned up: unsupported characters are stripped and the usable query is served.

## Price and billing

Price: **$0.02**. The authoritative amount is the one in the `402` quote returned by the route itself — not this text, which derives from the same grid but is still just a page.

An error response **cancels the payment**: a `400`, `404` or `503` is never billed. An upstream outage closes the route with a `503` rather than serving a degraded response.

## Calling the route

```
# 1. Le devis, sans rien payer : la route répond 402 avec son montant
curl -i https://api.sirenic.eu/v1/eu/entreprise/PT/{nipc}/marches-publics

# 2. L'appel réglé — le client x402 paie le devis et rejoue la requête
npx x402-fetch https://api.sirenic.eu/v1/eu/entreprise/PT/{nipc}/marches-publics

# 3. Ou en MCP, dans Claude Code / Cursor / un agent
claude mcp add --transport http sirenic https://api.sirenic.eu/mcp
```

## What this route does not do

Partial coverage by construction: **11.6 % of winners and 8.8 % of bidders are published without a NIF** (natural persons or foreign entities) — never named, only counted; bidders are served as counts only; the portal is declarative. Zero never means “never won a contract”. Amounts in EUR as published.

## Neighbouring routes

- `/v1/eu/entreprise/PL/{nip}/marches-publics` — $0.02
- `/v1/eu/entreprise/LV/{regnr}/marches-publics` — $0.02

## How you pay

Every route is paid **per call**, in USDC or EURC on the Base network, over the x402 protocol: no account to create, no API key, no subscription. The first call returns a `402` quote your client settles, then replays the call. A failed call is never billed.

Would you rather have a euro invoice and prepaid credits? That is **in preparation**, and we will not announce a date until it is open. Write to [contact@sirenic.eu](mailto:contact@sirenic.eu?subject=Euro%20credit%20packs) and we will let you know when it opens.

Paid responses are **Ed25519-signed**: you can later prove what was served to you, and when. The whole catalogue is free to read in the [OpenAPI document](https://api.sirenic.eu/openapi.json) and in [llms.txt](https://api.sirenic.eu/llms.txt).

**One call, end to end**
