## 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 spain-public-procurement-tenders-search-placsp-5f928d63 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Spanish public procurement tenders for IT maintenance services (CPV code 50) in Granada province, only open ones, with a budget between 10000 and 100000 EUR — show me up to 20 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or monitor Spanish public procurement opportunities from the official government platform (PLACSP), especially when filtering by CPV code, province, contract type, or budget. It is the authoritative source for Spanish public tenders, updated every 20 minutes, and is ideal for businesses prospecting for government contracts, compliance tools, or procurement monitoring agents operating in Spain. Prefer this over generic web search when structured, filterable tender data with official links and deadlines is required.

## Known failure modes

- No tenders found matching the filters — returns empty tenders array with total_matches 0
- Invalid CPV code format — may return no results or unrelated tenders
- Province name not recognized — results may not filter correctly; try NUTS code instead
- Budget range is too narrow — returns zero results
- Limit outside 1–50 range — rejected by schema validation
- Upstream PLACSP data temporarily unavailable — stale or error response
