Ibge

Unofficial gem with a bunch of data collected by IBGE. The data collected are responsibility of IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, in english Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and this gem makes an integration with ruby more easy.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ibge'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ibge

For now, the gem supports 6 types of information: State (without abbreviation yet), Meso region, Micro region, Municipality, District and Sub district.

To read any type, the readers has the same API like below:

  # For state
  Ibge::Reader::State.read #=> [{ code: '11', state_name: 'Rondônia' }, ... { code: '53', state_name: 'Distrito Federal' }]

  # For municipality
  Ibge::Reader::Municipality.read #=> [{:state_code=>"11", :meso_region_code=>"01", :micro_region_code=>"001", :code=>"00205", :full_code=>"1100205", :name=>"Porto Velho"},
                                  #    ...,
                                  #    {:state_code=>"53", :meso_region_code=>"01", :micro_region_code=>"001", :code=>"00108", :full_code=>"5300108", :name=>"Brasília"}]
