Frequently asked questions
Can my agent try a document before paying?
Yes. During the pilot, the same X-Agent-Pass credential from the index entitles you to one sponsored premium document of up to 50 pages and up to 100 basic reads of PDFs of up to 50 pages and 32 MiB. Basic delivers native text and local OCR per page, without review or structured tables. Premium offers Markdown, package and evidence when prepared, with quality indicators; automatic review does not guarantee fidelity. See /api/avaliacao for validity and /avaliacao.md to integrate. The grant is individual, subject to the pilot's capacity and budget, with no automatic renewal. Beyond it, premium access costs US$ 0.02 per page.
Can I buy more data reads?
Start with a free 1,000-read evaluation per agent and product for 30 days using a persistent X-Agent-Pass. The paid package provides 1,000 shared basic reads for US$1, valid for 30 days. Instructions are in /api/acesso. Neither renews automatically. Document access, OCR and AI have separate prices.
Can I register my company to check the requirements?
Yes. Open Companies without creating an account. Search by CNPJ or legal name, import the registration and attach certificates and PDF supporting documents. In the tender, select the company in Requirements and run the automatic analysis. When it finishes, Pending and Met show reasons, next steps and source excerpts. A missing document does not mean non-compliance, and a CNAE alone does not prove a certificate. The analysis helps the review; it does not guarantee qualification nor replace the agency's decision. You can keep up to 20 companies; link an account when you want to use them on another device. Runs depend on the service's availability and limits.
Do I need a wallet installed in the browser to pay?
No. Choose to pay by address or QR Code: EditalMD shows a unique address, the amount in USDC and the Base network. You can send from a wallet app or exchange that supports USDC on Base. Check the net amount and any sending fees. Pay within 30 minutes; confirmation may take a few minutes and releases your access automatically. Reopen the document in this browser to follow along. Connected wallet, x402 and credit remain available.
How do I read the tender notice?
Explore the five free examples or open a purchase from the search or the catalog. Check the pages and the total and buy your access, even when the text is already ready. If Markdown is missing, generation is included and you follow its phases. Reading and Markdown show the paginated content; Original lets you check the PDFs. The top bar gathers the downloads; Data and Requirements organize the dossier with the source pages. Reopen with your authorization without paying again.
When is it free and when is it charged?
Search, purchase record, five examples and progress checks are free. Each buyer pays US$ 0.02 per page for their own access, even when the document is already ready. Needed generation, Markdown, original, images and ZIP are included. Pay by x402, credit or USDC deposit. The total appears first: 152 pages cost US$ 3.04. Unknown pages are not charged. Reopening with your authorization does not charge again. The first alert and the first watch are free; further ones cost US$ 0.10 per alert (30 days) and US$ 0.05 per watch.
How do alerts and watches work?
Use Save to keep up to 200 tenders, Follow changes to watch a purchase, or Create alert to find similar ones. Saved and Alerts are in the My area menu, next to the theme, with counters. Saving is a bookmark and does not buy access to the document. Adjust terms, state, municipalities, procurement types, values and exclusions, check a preview and edit later. Alerts can notify you on the site, by confirmed email or by webhook. Keep the access code to recover your lists in another browser.
How does the alert by CNPJ work?
On the site, enter the CNPJ to get term suggestions from the company's activities (CNAE). Pick a suggestion, adjust what your company supplies and check the preview before creating. A suggestion does not turn alerts on. The API also lets you create one alert per CNAE family, with an explicit charge for what exceeds the free allowance. Activities outside the dictionary need their own terms.
How do I know the price that wins a tender for my item?
In the search, open the Prices paid tab. For the term and state searched, EditalMD shows the median, the range between the first and third quartiles, the lowest and highest awarded unit value, how far below the agency's reference the winners were, how much was won by small businesses (ME/EPP), who won and who bought (the top ten of each), by state and by month — over up to 2,000 similar items from the last 12 months, with the period covered stated on screen. It is free, also available at GET /api/precos and in the MCP tool precos_homologados, and the tab link is shareable. Check the unit of measure before comparing prices.
What is the qualification list?
It is the list of the document's legal, tax, economic-financial and technical requirements, with conditions, exceptions and source excerpts. The Data tab separates Identification, Items and Deadlines; Requirements separates Qualifications, Certificates and Obligations. Each sub-tab shows its counter and lets you open the cited page. The full JSON is available when the analysis finishes. Everything is included in the document access and uses the same analysis already prepared, with no further AI call when you consult it.
Why is the challenge deadline estimated?
The deadline is calculated from the session date. Article 164 of Law 14,133/2021 gives three business days before the session to file a challenge; EditalMD counts those days with the national holidays and marks the deadline as estimated. A state or municipal holiday may change the day — check the tender notice.
Does the catalog cover every purchase?
Coverage depends on the records and documents available. Check the catalog numbers at /api/health and each purchase's reference. Generation requires an authorized request and an available file; opening a page does not start processing.
Do I need to create an account?
You can pay without creating an account. My area → My purchases shows the documents bought in this browser, with a counter and a link to reopen them. That menu also has Saved, Alerts and Sign in or create account. To use it on other devices, keep the purchase in your account and confirm the code received by email. Purchases made while signed in go to the account automatically; My account also offers the history. Without a link, download and keep the private recovery code: it keeps opening the document, so do not share it. Saved, Alerts and Watches can also be brought into the account with their own code.
Can I sponsor, advertise or partner?
Yes. This product's placements, the suggested 30-day price and the proposal form are at /parceria; we reply within 3 business days.
