BASE.gov.pt

The reproducible guide to wire this source into production. We say clearly what is open, what needs a key, and what remains to confirm.

1 · What it is

Portugal's public-contracts portal. Connector wired in production (tested 2026-06-26) via the Base4 JSON API (POST), no key. These are AWARDED contracts (downstream: who won what), like France's DECP. Scope : national.

2 · Licence

Réutilisation secteur public (à confirmer)

3 · Access

Open access (no key). No key (public-sector reuse). BASE.gov.pt exposes its results as JSON via its Base4 engine, by POST (type=search_contratos), response { total, items }. Connector wired in production (tested 2026-06-26): paged request sorted by publication date descending, dedicated mapping to the unified schema. These are AWARDED contracts (downstream: who won what), hence no open deadline, like France's DECP. Cron plan: daily fetch of the latest published contracts.

4 · Endpoint / format

Base4 JSON API (POST, paged results)
https://www.base.gov.pt/Base4/pt/resultados/

5 · Where to paste the key

No key. To override the endpoint at deployment : TENDVEO_SRC_BASE_ENDPOINT.

6 · How to test

Run node connectors/run.mjs base and check that N real contracts come back.
