El Tablero: Argentina economic data

Bring an amount in Argentine pesos from one month to another using an official index: "ipc" (default) composes INDEC's monthly inflation month by month, the way contracts indexed "por IPC" are updated; "cer" and "uva" divide the BCRA index of one month by the other (the way inflation-adjusted loans and deposits work). Use it for "how much is X pesos from <month> worth today", "what would a rent of X from <month> be now" or "how much was today's X worth back in <month>" (pass a "from" later than "to"). Only "ipc" can go past the last published month: up to 12 months ahead are completed with El Tablero's projection of monthly inflation, and the response says exactly which months are published and which are projected, with 80% and 95% ranges for the adjusted amount. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

Project a series forward: point values with 80% and 95% bands, the models combined (ETS, ARIMA, Theta, chosen by walk-forward backtest), backtest errors and, when the series has one, the BCRA market-expectations survey (REM) median for the same months. Use it for "what's next" questions about inflation, exchange rates, interest rates or reserves; use get_series for past values. It is a statistical reference, not a forecast or advice: say so when you quote it. Needs a key from search_series. Series with too little history return an error. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

List the scheduled INDEC releases (CPI inflation, EMAE activity, wages, trade, industry, construction, employment, poverty) between two dates, each with date, time in Argentina, report name, period covered and the series keys it updates. Use it to answer "when is the next inflation figure out" or to know whether a value is about to change. Defaults to the next 60 days from today. Only INDEC for now. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

Return the historical values of one series with its metadata (name, unit, frequency, source, page URL, last date and value). Use it for past and current values; use get_projection for future ones. Needs a key from search_series; well-known keys: bcra:27 monthly inflation, bcra:28 annual inflation, bcra:4 retail USD rate, bcra:5 wholesale USD rate, bcra:1 reserves, bcra:7 BADLAR rate, bcra:44 TAMAR rate, bcra:31 UVA, bcra:30 CER. Without range or from it returns the last year for daily series and the last five years for the rest. At most 500 points, the most recent ones; a note says how many older points were left out. An unknown key returns an error that asks to search first. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

Return the current value of Argentina's headline indicators in one call: USD retail and wholesale (BCRA), blue, MEP and CCL dollars, the blue FX gap, country risk (EMBI), monthly and annual inflation, BADLAR and TAMAR rates and international reserves. Each comes with its date, source, page URL and the change versus 7 days, 30 days (previous month for monthly series) and one year earlier. Use it for "how is the economy doing today" or to compare now against a week, a month or a year ago; use get_series for history, get_projection for the future and get_weekly_summary for the narrative of a closed week. Indicators whose source does not answer are listed under "missing" instead of failing the call. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

Return one plain-Spanish sentence per indicator (USD retail and wholesale, reserves, interest rates, inflation, UVA) describing how it moved during a closed week, with direction and links, plus the permalink of that week's summary page. Use it for a quick "how did the Argentine economy do this week" overview; use get_series for exact values. Defaults to the last closed week (Monday to Sunday). Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.

Find Argentine economic time series by keywords and get their keys. Call this first whenever you don't already know a series key, then pass the key to get_series (history) or get_projection (forecast). Covers BCRA (exchange rates, reserves, interest rates, monetary aggregates, UVA, CER), INDEC via datos.gob.ar (inflation, activity, wages, trade, employment, poverty) and derived series (real rate, FX gap). Matches every word, ignoring accents and case; series names are in Spanish, so Spanish keywords work best ("inflacion", "dolar", "reservas", "badlar", "salarios"). Returns up to 15 matches with key, name, category, source and page URL; an empty list means no match, not an error. Read-only, no side effects, no authentication. Rate limited to 60 calls per minute per IP. Data updates at most once per business day.
