Brazil Central Bank Open Data vs Colorado Information Marketplace

A CKAN-based open-data catalogue from Banco Central do Brasil covering 4,200+ datasets — exchange rates, interest rates, public debt, and other monetary time series. Dataset metadata is browsable via the standard CKAN Action API, and most series resolve to the Central Bank's SGS (Sistema Gerenciador de Séries Temporais) endpoints, which return JSON or CSV for a specified date range with no key required.

The Colorado Information Marketplace is the state's open-data portal, built on the Socrata platform and covering budget, transportation, public-safety, and demographic datasets from Colorado agencies. Every dataset is queryable through Socrata's SODA REST API without an account, with an optional free app token only needed to raise the anonymous rate limit. Results are returned as JSON by default, with CSV and XML also available per dataset.
