About this API
IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) is Brazil's statistics office — the equivalent of Poland's GUS. Its data services are a set of keyless REST APIs with statistical, territorial (regions, states, municipalities) and demographic data. For Brazil, IBGE plays the role Destatis does for Germany or INE for Spain.

Can this API be called directly from a browser?
