For detailed installation instructions and requirements, see our Installation Guide.

Quick Start

Get up and running in seconds:

from bcra_connector import BCRAConnector

# Initialize the connector
connector = BCRAConnector()

# 1. List principal variables published by BCRA
variables = connector.get_principales_variables()
print(f"Found {len(variables)} variables.")

# 2. Get the latest value for a specific variable (e.g., using the ID of the first one)
if variables:
    target_var = variables[0]
    print(f"Fetching data for: {target_var.descripcion} (ID: {target_var.idVariable})")

    latest = connector.get_latest_value(target_var.idVariable)
    print(f"Latest Value: {latest.valor} on {latest.fecha}")

# 3. Get historical data (last 30 days)
#    (Note: Date range filtering is handled by the API or post-processing)
