What you get

Every record is a single flat observation with these fields:

• country and countryCode — Peru / PE, Argentina / AR, Colombia / CO
• centralBank — BCRP, BCRA or Banco de la Republica
• indicator — human-readable name (for example "Official USD/PEN Exchange Rate", "Monetary Policy Reference Rate", "Inflation Rate (Annual)")
• indicatorType — exchange_rate, policy_rate, inflation or reserves
• value, unit and currency — the number plus how to read it (for example ARS per USD, percent, USD millions)
• date and frequency — the observation date and whether it is daily or monthly
• source and observedAt

Because every country and indicator lands in the same columns, you can chart Peru, Argentina and Colombia side by side without any reshaping.

1. Pick the countries (Peru, Argentina, Colombia) and indicator types (exchange_rate, policy_rate, inflation, reserves). Leave empty for everything.

3. Set Max Data Points and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which exchange rate is this? The official reference rate published by each central bank: Peru's interbank sell rate, Argentina's official retail and wholesale rates, and Colombia's TRM (Tasa Representativa del Mercado). These are the government reference rates, not parallel or informal quotes.

What indicators are included? Official USD exchange rate, monetary policy interest rate, monthly and annual inflation, and international reserves, depending on the country. Every indicator is tagged with indicatorType so you can filter easily.

How far back does the history go? Set any start date. The sources hold long daily and monthly histories; the actor returns everything in your date range up to the max you set.

You only bill for real data, right? Yes. You are charged per data point actually returned. A run that matches no indicators or returns nothing costs nothing.
