📊 IBGE Brazil Statistics Scraper

🚀 Export the official Brazilian statistical catalogue in seconds. Pull 27 states, 5,500+ municipalities, the full SIDRA aggregate catalogue, observation data, available periods, and aggregate metadata across the entire IBGE catalogue. No sign-up needed.

The IBGE Brazil Statistics Scraper taps the official Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics catalogue and returns clean, structured records covering the full SIDRA aggregate library plus the official territorial reference (states, municipalities, regions, mesoregions, microregions). Pull aggregate names, subjects, frequencies, variables, units, periods, and observation values keyed by territorial level (N1 country, N2 region, N3 state, N6 municipality, N7 mesoregion).

Coverage spans every Brazilian municipality (5,500+), every state and federal district, IBGE administrative regions, and 4,000+ SIDRA aggregates including IPCA inflation, PNAD employment, GDP, demographic census, agricultural surveys, industrial production, foreign trade, and tourism. This Actor turns the territorial reference, full aggregate catalogue, single-aggregate metadata, available periods, and observation data into downloadable CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in minutes.

📋 What the IBGE Brazil Scraper does

Five workflows in a single Actor:

• 🗺️ Localidades mode. Pull the official IBGE territorial reference: 27 states, 5,500+ municipalities, 5 regions, mesoregions, or microregions. Each record includes the IBGE numeric ID, padded ID string, sigla, name, region nesting, and a deep link to the official cidades-e-estados page.
• 📚 Aggregados mode. List every SIDRA aggregate with name, subject, and source URL - or pass a single aggregate ID to pull its full metadata block (variables, classifications, territorial levels, frequency).
• 📈 Data mode. Pull observation values for one or many aggregates by period, variable, and territorial level. Each row carries the variable label, unit, locality, and period.
• 🧾 Metadata mode. Get the variable + unit list for one aggregate or batch up to 100 aggregates in a single run.
• 📅 Periods mode. List every available period for one or many aggregates with last-modified timestamps.

Every record carries the official SIDRA deep link (sidra.ibge.gov.br/tabela/{id}), so you can verify any number against the source page in one click.

💡 Why it matters: Brazilian official statistics underpin lending decisions, agribusiness analytics, public-health research, real-estate underwriting, and journalism. Building your own pipeline against the SIDRA catalogue means handling territorial codes, classification cross-products, and Portuguese-only labels by hand. This Actor skips all of that and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: assunto, assuntoId, id, idString, nome, scrapedAt, url. All 7 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
