• list_documents

  The document set for one opportunity: source_documents (listed by the source engine: name, size, sha256, source url, whether NextBid stores the original) and nextbid_documents (the current Document 0 and normalized text, readable with read_file). Pipeline artifacts are counted,…

• get_document_text

  The AnyDoc extracted text of one document (sha256 = the text sha256 or the original sha256 from get_evidence), verified against its indexed hash. Offsets in get_evidence index into this text. One request.

• list_files

• list_set_asides

  Set-aside and small-business programs NextBid recognizes (federal SBA programs, California SB/DVBE, open competition): id, name, level, what it means, official reference, aliases and today's counts split into open_designated (source-marked) and open_mentioned (title language onl…

• my_account

  The account's meter: plan, allowance used and remaining, period reset or trial expiry, keys, what counts as a call, how to upgrade, and the business profile. Free.

• mark_pursuit

  Record that the customer is watching, pursuing, has submitted, won, lost or dropped an opportunity. Call it only when the customer says so; reading a bid is never a pursuit. Free.

• list_tradelines

  The trade catalog: each trade id with its name, description, specialties and search aliases, plus today's open count. Use an id or any alias in search_opportunities. Specialties describe supported categories, not open bids.
