Brazil vs Data.gov: common questions

Both are neck-and-neck — Brazil and Data.gov each measure 100% uptime over 90 days on our probe schedule. Reliability here is verified from our own scheduled checks; use the 30-day bars above to see which has been steadier lately.

Which is faster, Brazil or Data.gov?

Brazil has the lower median latency in our checks — Brazil responds in 122 ms versus Data.gov at 931 ms (P50). Tail latency (P95) is in the table above; for most workloads the median is the number that shapes how the API feels.

Can I call Brazil and Data.gov from the browser?
