The fine print

License note: The BCB dataset page names the ODbL without a version and links an unversioned description, so Custom, version not stated (same as bcb-ptax-api).
Required attribution: Required under ODbL: credit Banco Central do Brasil as the source.

// Overview

Banco Central do Brasil SGS Time-Series API

The Banco Central do Brasil time-series system (SGS) serves numbered series, such as the Selic rate, inflation, credit, monetary aggregates and external accounts, through a keyless JSON and CSV API.

Coverage

Brazil, series-dependent frequency. Requests take a series number and either the last N values or a date range; the dataset page says "Consultas por período de datas serão limitadas a 10 anos, retornando erro caso não satisfaça essa condição." [Date-range queries are limited to 10 years and return an error otherwise.]

Verdict

Brazil's core macro series through one API; the PTAX exchange-rate API is a separate catalog entry (bcb-ptax-api). Licence: Custom (ODbL named, version not stated): the dataset page says (Portuguese) "Licença Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)" and links an unversioned description. Rate limits: Not stated beyond the 10-year query window. Signal Lab links only.
