What It Is

BrazilGuide is a public data search and integration platform focused on the Brazilian market. Its core coverage includes CNPJ company registration data, CEP postal-code addresses, and DDD telephone area codes. It offers web-based lookup and browsing by region/category, as well as B2B advanced search and a REST API, positioning it closer to “infrastructure for Brazilian business and address data.”

Core Features and Integrations

The platform supports searches by company name, CNPJ, CEP, city, CNAE, company size, registration status, capital, and other dimensions. Users can view information such as shareholders/management QSA, branches, addresses, and primary business activities. B2B search can be used to generate and export prospect lists, making it suitable for sales lead generation and data operations. On the API side, it provides three types of endpoints: CNPJ, CEP, and DDD. Responses are returned in JSON, authentication uses HTTPS and X-Api-Key, and Swagger UI documentation is available, so developer onboarding should be relatively straightforward.

Pricing and Free Plan

Publicly available text indicates that its API plans are tiered by monthly request volume: Free at 100 requests/month, Starter at 10,000 requests/month, Profissional at 100,000 requests/month, and Empresarial with unlimited requests. All plans appear to include the same data content, differing only in quota. However, another part of the page mentions “500 requests/month free, no credit card required,” which conflicts with the plan table. Before production use, you should verify the actual quota and pricing in the dashboard. The scraped content does not disclose specific pricing amounts or payment methods.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are that it covers three types of data commonly used in Brazilian business scenarios, and offers web lookup, B2B filtering, and API access at the same time. The free account does not require a credit card, making testing easier. Company data is reprocessed and updated monthly. The drawbacks are the lack of information about team permissions, audit logs, SLA, enterprise-grade security certifications, and similar controls. Pricing transparency is also limited, and its usefulness depends heavily on whether you need Brazil-specific local data.

Who It’s For and Access from China

BrazilGuide is suitable for teams that need to verify Brazilian customers or suppliers, enrich CRM/ERP records, develop B2B prospects, conduct due diligence, or standardize addresses. For users in mainland China, the currently available text is insufficient to determine network accessibility, payment availability, or invoice support, so china_access can only be marked as unknown. If access or payment is restricted, alternatives include using Brazil’s official public datasets, Correios lookup, or building an in-house data processing pipeline.
