# Depending on your internet connection
# it may take up to 6 minutes for each month
# if you run for all states. Consider selecting
# only the states you want to work on.

Dataframes

This package exports some pandas dataframe with the following columns:

• city_id : unique integer from state and city,

• year : from 2015 to 2020,

• month : from 1 to 12,

• region : [North, Northeast, South, Southeast, Center_West],

• state : one of the 27 states of Brazil, including country capital,

• city : city name

• deaths : number os deaths

from brazil_monthly_deaths import (
  data, # full data
  data_2015,
  data_2016,
  data_2017,
  data_2018,
  data_2019,
  data_2020 # always out of date, you need to update it
)

brazil_deaths

You can use this function to scrap new data directly from the Civil Registry Offices website. Just make sure you have installed the chrome driver, as pointed above.

Oficial note about the legal deadlines:

The family has up to 24 hours after the death to register the death in the Registry, which, in turn, has up to five days to perform the death registration, and then up to eight days to send the act done to the National Information Center of the Civil Registry ( CRC Nacional), which updates this platform.

It means: The last 13 days are always changing.

from brazil_monthly_deaths import brazil_deaths

Since it will access an external website, it will depend on your internet connection and world location. Consider selecting only the states you want to work on. For each month, for all states it may take up to 6 min to run for a single year.

df = brazil_deaths(
    years=[2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020],
    months=range(1, 13, 1),
    regions=_regions_names,
    states=_states,
    filename="data",
    return_df=True,
    save_csv=True,
    verbose=True,
    *args,
    **kwargs
)

The _regions_names is:

["North", "Northeast", "South", "Southeast", "Center_West"]

The _states is:

[
  "Acre", "Amazonas", "Amapá", "Pará",
  "Rondônia", "Roraima", "Tocantins", "Paraná",
  "Rio Grande do Sul", "Santa Catarina", "Espírito Santo",
  "Minas Gerais", "Rio de Janeiro", "São Paulo",
  "Distrito Federal", "Goiás", "Mato Grosso do Sul",
  "Mato Grosso", "Alagoas", "Bahia", "Ceará",
  "Maranhão", "Paraíba", "Pernambuco",
  "Piauí", "Rio Grande do Norte", "Sergipe"
]

The *args and **kwargs are passed down to df.to_csv(..., *args, **kwargs)

update_df

Use this function after you have scraped recent data from the Civil Registry Offices website to update the data provided in this package.

from brazil_monthly_deaths import brazil_deaths, data, update_df

new_data = brazil_deaths(years=[2020], months=[5])
current_data = update_df(data, new_data)

It basically put the new data below the old data in the dataframe, then remove the duplicates (excluding deaths) keeping the most recent entries.
