Corporate Procurement Contract Awards

Data as of Jun 30, 2024

This set of data includes listings of large value contracts awards that were executed by the World Bank Group, pursuant to its Corporate Procurement Policies and Procedures. The listing includes both fixed price and indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with an estimated value above US$250,000. The value for Fixed Price contracts is disclosed at the award value. The value for IDIQ contracts is not disclosed and is based on an estimate of possible value which is $250,000 or greater. This data set does not list all contracts awarded by the World Bank Group, and should be viewed only as a guide to determine the distribution of major contract commitments made by the World Bank Group. "Supplier Country / Economy" represents place of supplier registration in the World Bank's Vendor Database, which may or not be the supplier's actual country / economy of origin. Please note that the Corporate Procurement Unit is responsible for ensuring that procurement awards are consistent with procurement policies and procedures, while business units are accountable for the business need, expenditure policy, procurement specification and supplier selection. The information provided is believed to be accurate; however the World Bank Group is not responsible should the data be incorrect, incomplete or if data is omitted.

JavaScript makes it super simple to fetch from an API endpoint.

fetch('https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json')
    .then(response => {
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error('');
        }
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        // Do something with the response data
        // console.log(data);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    });

Python for easily work with data.

import requests
url = 'https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json'
try:
    response = requests.get(url)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for 4XX and 5XX status codes
    data = response.json()  # Parse the JSON response
    print(data)  # Print the response data
except requests.RequestException as e:
    print(f'Error: {e}')

PowerShell code to extract data.

$url = 'https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json'
try {
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get
    # Print the response
    Write-Output $response
} catch {
    # Print error message if request fails
    Write-Error "Error: $_"
}

The following snippet brings data into your application.

require 'net/http'
url = URI('https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json')
begin
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(url)
if response.is_a?(Net::HTTPSuccess)
    puts response.body
else
    puts "Error: #{response.code} - #{response.message}"
end
rescue StandardError => e
puts "Error: #{e.message}"
end

Below code that makes usage with .NET more natural.

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var response = await new HttpClient().GetStringAsync("https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json");
        Console.WriteLine(response);
    }
}

JAVA for easily work with data.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL url = new URL("https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json");
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
        String line;
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            response.append(line);
        }
        reader.close();
        System.out.println(response.toString());
    }
}

The following snippet brings data into your application.

shell "curl -X GET https://datacatalogapi.worldbank.org/dexapps/fone/api/apiservice?datasetId=DS00028&resourceId=RS00025&top=100&type=json"
