Australian Government Contract Notices Published Between Two Times (AusTender)

austender/contracts-published-between

Lists the Australian Government contract notices (AusTender CNs) published between two UTC times, in OCDS release-package format: each with its contract id, title, description, value in AUD, start and end dates, UNSPSC classification, procurement method, the buyer agency and the supplier with ABN and address. At most 100 notices come back per call, newest first (about 190 KB at the cap), so keep the window short: minutes to a few hours; a longer window silently drops its oldest notices. A window in which nothing was published, or whose end is before its start, returns an error rather than an empty list.
