Overview

This node integrates with BrasilAPI, a public API providing various Brazilian data endpoints. Specifically, the "Taxa por Sigla" operation fetches financial rate information based on a given abbreviation (sigla). This is useful for workflows that need up-to-date financial indicators such as interest rates or indexes identified by their standard abbreviations.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving the current CDI rate to calculate investment returns.
  • Fetching SELIC or other official rates for financial reports or alerts.
  • Integrating financial rate data into accounting or ERP systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Sigla Taxa The abbreviation of the financial rate to retrieve. Common values include "CDI", "SELIC", etc.

Output

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "sigla": "CDI",
  "nome": "Certificado de Depósito Interbancário",
  "valor": 13.15,
  "data": "2023-06-30"
}

No binary data is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires internet access to call the BrasilAPI public endpoints.
  • No authentication or API keys are needed since BrasilAPI is publicly accessible.
  • Uses HTTP GET requests with a timeout of 10 seconds per request.

Troubleshooting

  • Timeouts: If the API does not respond within 10 seconds, the request will fail. Check network connectivity or BrasilAPI service status.
  • Unsupported Operation Error: Occurs if an invalid operation name is set. Ensure the operation is exactly "taxaBySigla".
  • Invalid Sigla: If the provided abbreviation does not exist in BrasilAPI, the response may be an error or empty. Verify the sigla spelling and availability.
  • API Changes: Since this relies on an external public API, changes or downtime in BrasilAPI can affect node functionality.
