Per successful call, in USD, paid as USDC on Base. The MCP server is at https://veldora.no/mcp.
How payment works
Your agent sends a normal HTTP request and gets 402 Payment Required with the price. It signs a USDC authorization on Base for that amount and repeats the request, and Veldora returns the data with a receipt. There is no account or API key, and failed calls are not charged. See Pay per call and the payment section of the docs.
Questions
What is the licence of the tender data?
Doffin data is © DFØ and licensed under CC BY 4.0. TED data is © European Union and reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. Each response carries the notice in meta.attribution.
How fresh is the data?
Tenders are refreshed every night from Doffin and TED. meta.as_of gives the date of the data. Responses flag stale data.
What happens if a call fails?
You are not charged for any response with status 400 or higher. Bad input is rejected with 400 before payment is asked for, and a 503 data_unavailable costs nothing.
Do I need an API key or an account?
No. Your agent pays per call in USDC on Base with the x402 protocol. There is nothing to sign up for.
Can my agent use this over MCP?
Yes. Connect to https://veldora.no/mcp and call search_tenders, get_tender or get_company_tenders. Listing the tools is free; each call is paid at the REST price.
