Brazil CVM Filings for Antitrust and Competition Research

Brazil filings antitrust competition teams covering B3 issuers need durable document IDs for memos and workpapers. apicvm delivers DFP/ITR/FRE over HTTP. It is not a portfolio, CRM, or market-data system.

The persona

Antitrust counsel and competition economists

Pull annual DFP packs and quarterly ITR updates
Ground narratives on FRE sections with citable UUIDs
Automate multi-issuer archives without portal clicks

The problem

Task	Typical filing
Market structure context	FRE
Financial capacity / deals	DFP / ITR

Manual CVM portal downloads do not scale across a coverage list.

Solution flow

Watchlist → resolve → list DFP/ITR/FRE → download → cite UUID

export APICVM_URL='https://apicvm.dev'
export APICVM_KEY='apicvm_...'

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICVM_KEY" \
  "$APICVM_URL/v1/documents?ticker=ABEV3&type=DFP&year=2024&perPage=20"

Example: coverage pull

import os, requests

BASE = os.environ["APICVM_URL"]
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APICVM_KEY']}"}
tickers = ["ABEV3", "ASAI3", "MGLU3", "LREN3"]

for t in tickers:
    docs = requests.get(
        f"{BASE}/v1/documents",
        headers=H,
        params={"ticker": t, "type": "DFP", "year": 2024, "perPage": 20},
    ).json()["data"]
    print(t, [d["id"] for d in docs[:2]])

Current limitations

No real-time material-fact push in v1 MVP scope — re-list on a schedule
Extraction is async via callback (Pro); downloads do not consume credits
Empty lists can mean corpus gaps, not "issuer never filed"
