The ChileDataAPI package provides a unified interface to
access open data from the FINDIC API and the REST Countries
API, with a focus on Chile. It allows users to easily retrieve
up-to-date time series data on financial indicators such as the
UF, UTM, Dollar, Euro, Yen, Copper price per pound, Bitcoin, and
the IPSA index, as well as international metadata on countries
via standardized API calls.
All API-based functions return data as tidy tibble objects, making
them ready for immediate use in data pipelines. The financial indicator
functions, such as get_chile_dollar(),
get_chile_uf(), and get_chile_bitcoin(),
provide real-time series of daily or monthly values, with each row
representing a timestamped observation. This makes
ChileDataAPI a valuable tool for working with economic time
series data in a reproducible manner.
You can install the ChileDataAPI package from CRAN with
the following R function:
install.packages("ChileDataAPI")After installation, load the package and start exploring and using its functions and datasets.
library(ChileDataAPI)get_chile_bitcoin(): Retrieves the daily Bitcoin
price in Chilean Pesos over the last month.
get_chile_copper_pound(): Returns historical daily
copper prices (per pound).
get_chile_dollar(): Provides the exchange rate of
the U.S. Dollar in CLP.

get_country_info(“Chile”),get_country_info(“chile”),get_country_info(“Peru”)
view_datasets_ChileDataAPI(): Lists all curated
datasets included in the ChileDataAPI package
Each dataset in ChileDataAPI is labeled with a
suffix to indicate its structure and type:
_df: A standard data frame.
_ts: A time series object.
_tbl_df: A tibble data frame object.
In addition to API access functions, ChileDataAPI
provides several curated datasets offering valuable insights into
Chile’s recent history, population health, territorial
divisions, electoral processes, and seismic activity. Here are some
featured examples:
census_chile_2017_df: Data frame containing
microdata from the 2017 Chilean census, specifically from the commune of
San Pablo. The dataset includes 7,512 observations, all variable names
and data values are in Spanish.
chile_earthquakes_tbl_df: Tibble containing
information about significant (perceptible) earthquakes that occurred in
Chile from January 1st, 2012 to the present.
malleco_tree_rings_ts: Time series object

measured in millimeters, for Araucaria Araucana trees located in the
Malleco region of Chile.
