Frequently asked questions

What is a CNPJ?

The Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica, the 14-digit tax number every Brazilian company has, written like 47.960.950/0001-21. You can pass it with or without the punctuation.

Which sources do you use?

BrasilAPI, ReceitaWS and CNPJ.ws, which all read the public CNPJ register of the Receita Federal. Each costs $0.0005 a call and returns the same fields, so you can switch sources or compare them without changing your code. The live price, speed and success rate of each are on the comparison page.

How fresh is the data?

It follows the Receita Federal register as each source reads it, so a change made in the last few days may not show yet.

How much does it cost?

$0.0005 per lookup, and failed calls are not charged. New accounts get $5 of credit, enough for 10,000 lookups.

Can my AI agent use it?

Yes. Add the Superpowers MCP server to Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT and ask in plain words, or call POST /v1/run with the tool brasilapi.cnpj. The Portuguese version of this guide is at /pt/api-cnpj.
