Brazil
Community driven API for Brazil Public Data.
About Brazil
BrasilAPI is an experimental project that centralizes and provides low-latency API endpoints for Brazilian public data, aggregating information from multiple sources into a single access point. It was created to solve access problems such as the Correios (Brazilian postal service) API lacking CORS support, which prevents direct browser-based lookups of data like postal codes (CEP).
The service is aimed at developers needing programmatic access to Brazilian public data. It is currently in beta, with usage terms still being finalized; automated crawling or full-scan requests (such as looping through all possible postal codes) are prohibited, and query volume is expected to resemble that of a real person making individual requests rather than bulk automated retrieval.
Key features
- Aggregates multiple public Brazilian data sources into unified modern API endpoints
- CEP (postal code) lookup with CORS enabled, unlike the official Correios API
- Low-latency responses regardless of underlying data source
- Open-source, community-driven project
Frequently asked questions
Is BrasilAPI free to use?
The page does not state pricing, but describes the service as an open, community project currently in beta.
What problem does BrasilAPI solve?
It provides programmatic, CORS-enabled access to public Brazilian data like CEP (postal codes) that official sources such as Correios don't allow directly from a browser.
Who is BrasilAPI for?
It's built by Brazilians for Brazilians, aimed at developers needing easy access to public Brazilian data.
Can I use BrasilAPI for high-volume automated requests?
No, the terms explicitly prohibit crawling or full scans, such as looping through all CEPs; a solution for high-volume access is planned for the future.
