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:
Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material
The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
Under the following terms:
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
NonCommercial — You may not use the material for commercial purposes.

No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.
A contracting process has several stages: tendering, awarding, contracting and implementation. You can learn about the contracting stages in this tutorial.
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
