Overview

This API provides official vehicle pricing data from FIPE (Fundacao Instituto de Pesquisas Economicas), Brazil's most trusted automotive price guide. You can query prices for cars, motorcycles, and trucks by brand, model, and year. No API key is required, making it easy to start using immediately.

💡

Beginner Tip

The API works in steps: first fetch brands, then models for a brand, then years, and finally the price for a specific year. Start by calling the brands endpoint to understand the data structure before building your queries.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found The brand code, model code, or year code provided does not exist.
✓ Always fetch valid codes from the previous step in the hierarchy (brands then models then years then price) rather than guessing IDs.
Empty response Querying a vehicle type that has no data for the given parameters.
✓ Make sure you use the correct vehicle type path: "carros" for cars, "motos" for motorcycles, "caminhoes" for trucks.
CORS error in browser The API may block cross-origin requests from browser-based apps.
✓ Use a server-side proxy or a backend function to call the API instead of directly from client-side JavaScript.
