- search_opportunities
Search open government solicitations (SAM.gov, DLA DIBBS, CalProcure, OpenGov, PlanetBids, PublicPurchase, Bonfire, and agency notices syndicated by InstantMarkets) in NextBid's normalized corpus. Returns one deduplicated record per opportunity with agency, deadline, codes…
- get_opportunity
Full record for one opportunity by NextBid id (NB########): description, AI summary, buyer contacts (current and historical), amendments, filed documents. One request; counts as a delivered solicitation the first time this account receives it.
- list_documents
The document set for one opportunity: source_documents (listed by the source engine: name, size, sha256, source url, whether NextBid stores the original) and nextbid_documents (the current Document 0 and normalized text, readable with read_file). Pipeline artifacts are counted…
- get_document_download
A time-limited download link for one stored original document of an opportunity (sha256 from list_documents, where stored is true). One request; the file is served by NextBid's object store, not through the API.
- get_evidence
The evidence for one opportunity: every indexed document (identity, version, hashes, whether the original is downloadable, whether the AnyDoc extracted text is verified) and the Graphify claims - each a GENERATED label with the SOURCE passage it cites (document, UTF-16 offsets…
- get_document_text
The AnyDoc extracted text of one document (sha256 = the text sha256 or the original sha256 from get_evidence), verified against its indexed hash. Offsets in get_evidence index into this text. One request.
- list_files
The current stored documents for one opportunity: Document 0 markdown/json and normalized attachment markdown (class document0 / normalized_text). include="all" adds pipeline artifacts (case files, graphs, packets) and superseded Document 0 generations. Use read_file to fetch…
- read_file
Read one stored text artifact of an opportunity (path from list_files). Returns the text, truncated to max_chars (default 60,000).
- corpus_stats
The corpus numbers with their definitions: total_solicitations (distinct, duplicates excluded), open (listed open by the source with the deadline ahead or unstated, or deadline ahead with no status; passed deadlines and unknown status are separate: listed_open_past_deadline…
- list_set_asides
Set-aside and small-business programs NextBid recognizes (federal SBA programs, California SB/DVBE, open competition): id, name, level, what it means, official reference, aliases and today's counts split into open_designated (source-marked) and open_mentioned (title language…
- my_account
The account's meter: plan, allowance used and remaining, period reset or trial expiry, keys, what counts as a call, how to upgrade, and the business profile. Free.
- mark_pursuit
Record that the customer is watching, pursuing, has submitted, won, lost or dropped an opportunity. Call it only when the customer says so; reading a bid is never a pursuit. Free.
- list_tradelines
The trade catalog: each trade id with its name, description, specialties and search aliases, plus today's open count. Use an id or any alias in search_opportunities. Specialties describe supported categories, not open bids.
- my_usage
The account's meters: requests used and remaining, unique solicitations delivered and remaining, plan period or trial expiry. Free.
