Argentina Time Series API

Argentina Time Series API

Argentina's open-data portal (datos.gob.ar) publishes a keyless JSON/CSV API for government time series — prices, activity, exchange rates, fiscal, labour — called the API de Series de Tiempo, with per-series publisher metadata. A live series query confirms the service (national CPI base December 2016).

Coverage

Argentine government time series — prices, activity, exchange rates, fiscal, labour — confirmed live today via a series query (148.3_INIVELNAL_DICI_M_26, national CPI base December 2016); the same query with metadata=full reports a per-series "license": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0" field for that series only. Licences are set per publisher, not asserted catalogue-wide. History start and update frequency: Not stated.

Verdict

Keyless JSON/CSV API (API de Series de Tiempo) for Argentine government time series — prices, activity, exchange rates, fiscal, labour — with per-series publisher metadata (confirmed live today via a series query, 148.3_INIVELNAL_DICI_M_26). Licensed Custom: the API's conditions page says (Spanish; Signal Lab translation in brackets): "Los datos de la API de Series de Tiempo bajo las licencias aplicadas por sus publicadores, que pueden ser consultadas en la tabla de metadatos de las series o en el objeto meta devuelto en una consulta a la API con parámetro metadata=full." [The data in the Time Series API are under the licences applied by their publishers, which can be consulted in the series' metadata table or in the meta object returned by an API query with the metadata=full parameter.] Signal Lab does not generalize the sampled series' CC BY 4.0 licence to the rest of the catalogue; licences are set per publisher. Rate limits: the conditions page states usage quotas per IP (Spanish; Signal Lab translation in brackets): "Por segundo: 60 consultas Por minuto: 2000 consultas Por hora: 40000 consultas Por día: 200000 consultas" [Per second: 60 queries; per minute: 2000 queries; per hour: 40000 queries; per day: 200000 queries] Signal Lab links only.
