Brazil Central Bank Indicators (Selic, IPCA, IGP-M, CDI, USD)

Clean, ready-to-use time series from the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), the SGS system, without dealing with its quirks: Brazilian date formats, numbers as strings, the 10-year limit on daily series, missing names and units.

Pick indicators from a curated catalog (or any SGS code), choose a period, and get either the full history or a one-line summary with the accumulated change, e.g. "IPCA accumulated over the last 12 months" for rent and contract adjustments.

Input examples

IGP-M and IPCA accumulated over 12 months (rent adjustment):

{
  "series": ["igpm", "ipca"],
  "modo": "acumulado",
  "dataInicial": "2025-10-01",
  "dataFinal": "2026-09-30"
}

15 years of daily CDI (split into valid requests automatically):

{ "series": ["cdi_diario"], "dataInicial": "2011-01-01" }

Output

observacoes mode (default): one row per observation:

{ "chave": "dolar_venda", "codigo": 1, "nome": "Dólar americano (venda) — PTAX", "unidade": "R$/US$",
  "periodicidade": "diária", "data": "2026-10-16", "dataFim": null, "valor": 5.0826 }

acumulado mode: one summary per indicator:

{ "chave": "ipca", "codigo": 433, "nome": "IPCA — variação mensal", "unidade": "% a.m.",
  "dataInicial": "2025-10-01", "dataFinal": "2026-09-30", "primeiraData": "2025-10-01", "ultimaData": "2026-09-01",
  "observacoes": 12, "primeiroValor": 0.09, "ultimoValor": 0.82, "minimo": -0.32, "maximo": 0.88, "media": 0.374167,
  "variacaoAcumuladaPct": 4.57612, "metodo": "produto de (1 + taxa/100) no período" }

How variacaoAcumuladaPct is computed:

• Period rates (IPCA, IGP-M, INPC, daily Selic/CDI…): compounded, ∏(1 + rate/100) − 1.
• Prices and indexes (USD, EUR, IBC-Br): last value ÷ first value − 1.
• Annualized or anniversary-based rates (Selic target, annualized CDI, TR, poupança): not accumulated (null); min/max/average are still provided.

Dates are ISO (YYYY-MM-DD), values are numbers. For monthly series, the BCB includes the month that contains your start date (start 2025-10-17 → October 2025 is included).

How much does it cost?

You pay US$ 0.0005 per row delivered to your dataset (US$ 0.50 per 1,000), plus a tiny start fee per run. One row is one observation, or one indicator in acumulado mode.

• 12 months of IPCA (12 rows): about US$ 0.006.
• Accumulated IPCA, IGP-M and CDI for a rent or contract adjustment (3 rows): about US$ 0.002.
• 10 years of daily Selic (about 2,500 rows): about US$ 1.25.
