Data

Where the information comes from and what happens when a provider fails.

1. Minha Receita (minhareceita.org): primary provider. It consolidates the open data of the Receita Federal. Learn more.
2. ReceitaWS (receitaws.com.br): used only if the primary fails. Its limit is about 3 requests per minute.

If Minha Receita answers 404 we return 404 right away, without trying the fallback. The database reference date is at /updated.

Paginated search and /updated exist only on Minha Receita and are forwarded with no fallback.
