Updated Data not available through API

[sanketkh]

Hello,

We are using the FBOpen API, but we came to an use case where when we try to get FBO data for a solicitation number using the API, we dont get the updated data as seen in FBO site(http://www.fbo.gov).

Please can you suggest us if there is a way to retrieve the updated data using the API.

Thanks, Sanket

What is the solicitation number you are looking for?

[sanketkh]

Solicitation Number is SPE4A615TCH54

The link for it in FBO site is https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=6b62fde2ec1ff264a71b0e377c0d99b0&tab=core&_cview=1

This is available here:

http://api.data.gov/gsa/fbopen/v0/opps?q=solnbr:SPE4A615TCH54&api_key=DEMO_KEY&show_closed=true

FBOpen does not show closed solicitations by default, so the show_closed=true query parameter is necessary to see this record.

We are using the show_closed=true query parameter and also we are getting the data, but as I had mentioned earlier that we are not able to get updated/modified data for the solicitation number. For example the "notice_type" received from API for this solicitation number is "COMBINE" whereas its been updated/modified to "Award" in the (www.fbo.gov) site. Also contact information does not seem to be updated in API response.

FBOpen does not load AWARD mods. So for this record we only load the original COMBINE record.
