About IBGE

The IBGE API documentation portal provides access to a collection of data services published by Brazil's Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (national statistics and geography agency). It covers statistical, geographic, and geodesic data, including administrative divisions of Brazil, geographic meshes at various resolutions, economic activity classifications (CNAE), geodesic station data, coordinate transformation and GNSS post-processing tools, population name trends, country-level socioeconomic indicators, agricultural census and city data, and IBGE news releases and publications.

Each listed API is versioned independently, with services ranging from version 1.0 to 4.0. The portal serves as an index of these APIs rather than a single unified service, directing users to documentation for each individual endpoint.

This is intended for developers building applications that require official Brazilian government statistical, geographic, or geodesic data, such as tools working with census figures,地图ing/mesh data, economic classifications, or location-based services tied to Brazil's administrative boundaries.
