BrasilAPI

API

Community-driven API for Brazil's public government data

Overview

BrasilAPI provides RESTful endpoints for accessing Brazil’s public government data, including CEP (ZIP code) details, IBGE geographic data (states, cities), CPF/CNPJ tax ID validation, bank information, national holidays, and more. Responses are in JSON format. It’s community-maintained, so endpoints are updated by contributors. Use cases include integrating address validation in e-commerce apps, verifying tax IDs for fintech services, displaying local holidays in travel tools, or accessing geographic data for regional Brazilian apps.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://brasilapi.com.br/')
