About this data

Look up Colombian companies in the national business registry (RUES on datos.gov.co) by NIT or company name: legal name, status, chamber of commerce, CIIU activity. Each company also gets its public contract history from SECOP II: award count, total value, top public buyers and latest award.

From the actor’s Apify Store listing. The per-call endpoint may return a bounded subset; its own description is below.

How x402 payment works

Your client sends the request. The API answers 402 Payment Required with the price and where to pay.
The client pays from its own wallet: USDC on Base or Solana over x402, or over MPP on Tempo. No account, sign-up or API key.
The client retries with the payment attached and gets the JSON answer in the same call. You are only charged for answers.

The AgentCash CLI in the example does all three steps for you and pays from your AgentCash wallet. Any x402 or MPP client works the same way.
