BrazilDataAPI

The BrazilDataAPI package provides a unified interface to access open data from the BrasilAPI, REST Countries API, Nager.Date API, and World Bank API, with a focus on Brazil. It allows users to easily retrieve up-to-date information on postal codes, banks, economic indicators, holidays, company registrations, international country-level data, public holidays information, and economic development data relevant to Brazil.

In addition to API-access functions, the package includes a collection of curated datasets related to Brazil, covering diverse domains such as demographics (male and female population by state and year), river levels in Manaus, environmental emission factors in São Paulo, Brazilian film festivals, and historical yellow fever outbreaks.
