[OpenSpending] Procurement app?

Wed Nov 5 05:08:51 UTC 2014

Hi Francesco,

the WB procurement app looks really interesting; I was wondering if there
was an underlying API that was available to people? I understand that I
might be able to find the data in the finances.wb socrata instance, is that
what you're using to drive the app?

Best,

- Friedrich
