Filter and transform series

Download a table with one or many series

ids parameter allows querying up to 40 series simultaneously, separated by commas.

!!! note “PCI by categories”

[`http://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series/?ids=103.1_I2N_2016_M_15,101.1_I2NG_2016_M_22,102.1_I2S_ABRI_M_18,102.1_I2B_ABRI_M_15,103.1_I2R_2016_M_18,103.1_I2E_2016_M_21&format=csv`](http://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series/?ids=103.1_I2N_2016_M_15,101.1_I2NG_2016_M_22,102.1_I2S_ABRI_M_18,102.1_I2B_ABRI_M_15,103.1_I2R_2016_M_18,103.1_I2E_2016_M_21&format=csv)

Filtering by dates

start_date and end_date parameters allow limiting a query to a particular range in time.

!!! note “Exchange rate since January 2016”

[`https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&start_date=2016-01&limit=1000&format=csv`](https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&start_date=2016-01&limit=1000&format=csv)

!!! note “Exchange rate up to December 2016”

[`https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&end_date=2016-12&format=csv`](https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&end_date=2016-12&format=csv)

!!! note “Exchange rate from January 2016 up to December 2016”

[`https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&start_date=2016-01&end_date=2016-12&format=csv`](https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&start_date=2016-01&end_date=2016-12&format=csv)

Changing temporal aggregation

By default, all series are shown in the highest possible frequency (this is, the lowest frequency between all the series in the query). collapse parameter allows to choose a lower frequency than this one.

!!! note “General, Brasil and China Real Exchange Rate Indexes. Monthly values quarterly averaged.”

[`http://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series/?limit=1000&collapse=quarter&ids=116.3_TCRMA_0_M_36,116.3_TCRC_0_M_22,116.3_TCRB_0_M_23&format=csv`](http://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series/?limit=1000&collapse=quarter&ids=116.3_TCRMA_0_M_36,116.3_TCRC_0_M_22,116.3_TCRB_0_M_23&format=csv)

Changing temporal aggregation function

By default, when the API calculates temporal aggregations (ie. converting a monthly series into a quarterly one) it does an average of series values in each period.

This function of aggregation can be changed for all the series in the query using collapse_aggregation parameter, or to any individual series without affecting the others (sum, max, min, etc.).

!!! note “Exchange rate. Daily values a the end of the month.”

[`https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&collapse=month&collapse_aggregation=end_of_period&format=csv`](https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26&collapse=month&collapse_aggregation=end_of_period&format=csv)

!!! note “Exchange rate. Daily values minimum, maximum, average and end of the month.”

Apply transformations

Series can be transformed into different units (percentage variation, year-to-year variation, etc.) individually or for all the query, using representation_mode parameter.

!!! note “Exchange rate, Core PCI and General PCI from January 2016. Percentage variation of monthly values, period to period.”

[`https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26,103.1_I2N_2016_M_15,103.1_I2N_2016_M_19&collapse=month&format=csv&start_date=2016-01&representation_mode=percent_change`](https://apis.datos.gob.ar/series/api/series?ids=168.1_T_CAMBIOR_D_0_0_26,103.1_I2N_2016_M_15,103.1_I2N_2016_M_19&collapse=month&format=csv&start_date=2016-01&representation_mode=percent_change)

!!! note “Core PCI, Core PCI (percentage variation period to period) and Core PCI (percentage variation year to year) from January 2016. Monthly values.” Note: series with different scale units, can be hard to visualize in a single graphic.

Apply transformations and changing the temporal aggregation function in individual series, at the same time

It is possible to apply both a transformation and a temporal aggregation function to any particular series.

In any case, the API will always apply first the temporal aggregation function and then the transformation.

!!! note “Exchange rate. Percentage variation of daily values at the end of each month, period to period.”
