# BR Intelligence - Brazil Snapshot API

> BR Intelligence - Brazil Snapshot API is a paid API for AI agents from br-intelligence.brverify-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns a single aggregated snapshot of key Brazilian financial and economic indicators: official PTAX FX rates (USD/BRL, EUR/BRL), Selic rate, CDI, IPCA inflation, and business day calendar info — all sourced from the Central Bank of Brazil.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability br-intelligence-brazil-snapshot-api-21deec3e
```

Example prompt: What's the official USD/BRL exchange rate, Selic rate, and IPCA inflation right now, and is today a business day in Brazil?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, authoritative call for Brazil's core financial metrics — PTAX FX rates, Selic, CDI, IPCA, and business day status — all from the official Central Bank of Brazil source. Ideal for agents that need Brazil macro context without managing multiple BCB API integrations. Prefer over general FX APIs when official PTAX rates are required for compliance, invoicing, or financial reporting. Best when you need several Brazilian indicators in one low-latency, low-cost call.

## Known failure modes

- Central Bank of Brazil API unavailable — partial data returned with missing fields listed in the 'missing' array
- No PTAX rate available for today (e.g. weekend or holiday) — missing array will include 'fx'
- Selic/CDI/IPCA data temporarily unavailable from BCB — indicators returned as null
- Network timeout to BCB data sources — empty or degraded response
- Payment not completed via x402 — 402 Payment Required returned before data is delivered

## How this service works

Brazil snapshot in one call: official USD/BRL and EUR/BRL (PTAX), Selic, CDI, IPCA inflation from the Central Bank of Brazil, and whether today is a Brazilian business day (next business day, holiday). Each value with its reference date.

## Output

A JSON object containing: country and date fields; fx object with official PTAX USD/BRL and EUR/BRL closing and latest bulletin rates with reference dates; indicators object with Selic target, CDI, IPCA monthly and 12-month values each with reference date; businessDay object indicating whether today is a Brazilian business day, the holiday name if applicable, and the next and previous business day dates; and a missing array listing any data the official sources did not return.
