Mexico: QuiénEsQuién.Wiki

The Project on Organizing, Development, Education, and Research (PODER) is a regional not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that re-publish data from Mexico’s national contracting system Compranet, and other data sources.

Most of the information contained in the QuienEsQuienWiki API has its origin in datasets published by different institutions of the Mexican State. Especially those referring to public contracting of the Ministry of Finance and Public Control. Additionally, there are data sets from other countries, from civil society organizations, and data from requests for access to public information or obtained from journalistic sources.

QuienEsQuienWiki contains information from many different sources of public access, each with a different data structure. This is a list of all data sources:

Data quality

Summary

The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:

  • awards, contracts and parties are not a JSON array
  • There are some additional fields that are not part of the standard, for example:
    • parties/buyer
    • parties/suppliers
    • awards/documents/list
    • awards/documents/urls

Access data

This OCDS dataset is available for download in JSON, Excel or CSV format. You can download the data for contracting processes in a specific year or for all time.

JSON

Each contracting process is represented as one line of JSON text in the .jsonl file.

The .jsonl file is compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .gz file.

Excel

Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main sheet. Other sheets link to it via the _link_main column.

Excel files can have at most 1,048,576 rows. If a year is missing, it had too many rows. Download the CSV files, instead.

CSV

Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main.csv file. Other files link to it via the _link_main column.

The .csv files are archived using tar and compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .tar.gz file.
