About

Maintained by Wilson FreitasFirst published 2017-03-2213 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The Brazilian Central Bank API delivers many datasets which regard economic activity, regional economy, international economy, public finances, credit indicators and many more. For more information please see http://dadosabertos.bcb.gov.br/. These datasets can be accessed through 'rbcb' functions and can be obtained in different data structures common to R ('tibble', 'data.frame', 'xts', ...).
