The BrazilDataAPI package depends on two public RESTful APIs for accessing Argentine and global data:

BrasilAPI

A community-driven open API that provides programmatic access to publicly available data in Brazil, such as postal codes (CEP), banks, company registrations, holidays, and more.

The project was created to offer modern, low-latency endpoints using edge caching via Vercel Smart CDN, enabling fast access to data even when the original sources are slow or lack features like CORS. It aims to make useful public information more accessible in a modern and reliable way.

Terms of Service: The API is publicly accessible, does not require authentication, and is intended for experimental, educational, and analytical purposes.
REST Countries API An open-source project that offers information about countries worldwide, including demographics, geography, and regional groupings. This API is also publicly accessible and does not require authentication. Website: https://restcountries.com/
World Bank Open Data API

The World Bank Open Data API is a RESTful web service that provides access to a vast collection of international development indicators. It allows for real-time retrieval of economic, social, and environmental data, including metrics such as GDP, population, education, and poverty levels.

This API is publicly accessible, requires no authentication, and returns results in either JSON or XML format. It supports filtering by country, indicator code, and year. It is widely used in data science, research, and educational contexts.

In the MexicoDataAPI package, the API is used to dynamically retrieve and display real-time indicators for Mexico. Data is accessed live via HTTP requests to the API and shown directly in the R console. No data is stored or redistributed by this package.
