Macrobond vs Brazil CVM Filings API

Macrobond vs CVM filings API compares different products. Macrobond focuses on macro time series / charting research UX. apicvm focuses on CVM regulatory filings over HTTP. Complementary — never "replace Macrobond".

Side-by-side

Capability Macrobond apicvm
Macro time series / research UX Core product focus No
CVM DFP/ITR/FRE PDF by document ID Not the product shape Yes
Resolve by Brazilian ticker / CNPJ for filings Not a filings API Yes
Async page markdown extraction No Yes (Pro)

Developer shape

import os, requests

BASE = os.environ["APICVM_URL"]
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APICVM_KEY']}"}

company = requests.get(
    f"{BASE}/v1/companies/resolve",
    headers=H,
    params={"query": "PETR4", "by": "ticker"},
).json()

Pair Macrobond (or any quotes/research stack) with apicvm when models need the filing PDF. See Quotes APIs vs filings.

When apicvm is the better fit

  • Regulatory document archives for Brazil
  • Agent tools that must cite CVM document UUIDs
  • FRE section retrieval

When Macrobond is the better fit

  • Workloads centered on macro time series and chart books
  • Apps that do not need Brazilian CVM PDF filings
  • Teams standardized on Macrobond elsewhere

Current limitations

  • apicvm does not ship OHLCV endpoints
  • We do not document Macrobond's entitlements or symbol coverage
  • Filings availability follows ingestion, not tick prints
