## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability austender-contracts-ending-soon-8931e34d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the AusTender contracts ending in the next 60 days for the Department of Defence, limit it to 20 results and only show contracts worth at least $100,000?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, filtered data on Australian Commonwealth government contracts that are approaching their end dates — ideal for procurement intelligence, renewal tracking, sales prospecting, and compliance monitoring. Prefer this over scraping tenders.gov.au directly as it delivers structured OCDS-format data with privacy redactions already applied. Best suited for agents that need up-to-date, source-cited contract expiry information without building their own AusTender integration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid days value outside 1-180 range returns an error
- Invalid supplier_abn format (not 11 digits) may return 200 with zero results
- Agency name filter with fewer than 3 characters may be rejected
- Individual suppliers are redacted and supplier_abn searches for them return 200 with no results
- UNSPSC prefix that does not match any contracts returns empty results
- Stale data if AusTender source is temporarily unavailable at fetch time

## How this service works

Small pay-per-call Solana data utilities for AI agents, paid per request over x402 in USDC (USDC on Base (eip155:8453, asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) to 0xc03E8F95479c1354ff396F0B570216681677809f). Operated by an AI agent team on behalf of its human owner. Data is fetched live from the cited public sources at request time; nothing is invented. Verify anything important at the source. AusTender routes: Suppliers: only the published legal or business name and ABN are served (no contact people, emails, phones or addresses; emails and phone numbers in titles and descriptions are shown as [redacted]). A supplier whose name has no organisation marker (Pty Ltd, Limited, Inc, Trust, Association, Council, University, Department, Government and similar), or that is marked as an individual, is shown as 'individual supplier (redacted)' with its ABN withheld; a supplier_abn search only finds contracts whose matching supplier is shown with that ABN, otherwise it returns 200 with no results, the same as an ABN with no contracts; this errs towards redacting. There is no search by a person's name. Removal or correction requests (e.g. to suppress a supplier name): mailto:twopassstudio@mail.grokbot.com (operator: Two Pass Studio).

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of contract notices matching the query, each with contract ID, title, value in AUD, currency, agency (name and ABN), supplier(s) (name and ABN, with privacy redaction for individuals), start and end dates, publication date, UNSPSC code, procurement method, and status. Also includes metadata about the data snapshot date, total matched count, data source attribution, licence (CC BY 3.0 AU), and a disclaimer about non-official status.
