What you can automate

What does the Brasil API Make integration do?

The Brasil API Make integration lets a Make scenario (the automation you build, a chain of steps) ask Brasil API for Brazilian reference data and pass the answer to your other tools. Each step is a module, one brick of the scenario, and Brasil API brings 7 of them, all actions.

Clean addresses from a CEP. A customer types a CEP, the Brazilian postal code, in a form. Buscar CEP looks it up so the next module can write the result to your CRM instead of trusting what was typed.

Check a company before you bill it. For a B2B signup, Buscar CNPJ queries the company registration number the prospect gave you, and your sales team reads the answer in the record rather than searching by hand.

Plan around public holidays. Listar Feriados Nacionais (por Ano) returns national holidays for a year you choose, useful when a delivery or support calendar has to skip them.

Keep the limits in mind. Make itself says the Brasil API documentation is limited because little public information exists about the app, and there is no trigger: something else has to start the scenario. For endpoints the listed modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the API with the same connection. If you are weighing tools, read n8n vs Make; to learn the editor properly, Make training is a good start, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.

Connect

How do you connect Brasil API to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Brasil API module

    In your scenario, click the +, type Brasil API in the search box and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your Brasil API access saved once in Make and reused by every module of the app.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Give it a name you will recognize later, for example the project it serves. This field is optional, but a clear name saves time once several people share the same Make team and pick connections from a list.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    If Make opens an authorization page or asks for a key, follow it with the details Brasil API gives you, then click Save. The Make documentation lists no prerequisite for this app, so the screen you see is the reference.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Brasil API

GoalWhen a customer submits a form with a CEP and a phone number, Make looks up both in Brasil API and hands the results to the next step.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first module comes from the app that collects your forms, since Brasil API has no trigger of its own.

  2. 02

    Add Buscar CEP

    Click the + on the right of the form module, search Brasil API and choose Buscar CEP. Create the connection, then map the CEP answer from the form into the module.

  3. 03

    Add Buscar DDD

    Add one more module with the +: Buscar DDD. Map the area code part of the phone number the customer typed. This module reuses the same Brasil API connection.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and submit a test form. Each module shows the bundles it received, one bundle being one item passed along. Check that both lookups return what you expect.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module (a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. From now on, every run counts operations, one per module per bundle.

Modules

What can Brasil API do in Make?

Brasil API gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Brasil API1

Buscar CEP

ActionIn the docs only

Turns a CEP typed by someone into a lookup against Brasil API, so the rest of your scenario works from the reply rather than a raw string. The name is Portuguese for "search CEP", the Brazilian postal code.

When to use it
a checkout or signup form in Brazil where people type their postal code and you want to verify it.
Watch out
the Make docs do not list the output, so run it once and read the bundle before mapping.
Brasil API2

Buscar CNPJ

ActionIn the docs only

Gives you a registry lookup on a CNPJ, the Brazilian company number, straight from a scenario. Your team sees the reply next to the lead instead of copying numbers into a browser tab.

When to use it
a new B2B lead or supplier arrives with a CNPJ and you want the check done before anyone calls.
Watch out
the name suggests it expects the CNPJ itself. Map that field, not the company name.
Brasil API3

Buscar DDD

ActionIn the docs only

Answers a simple question for you: what does this DDD, the two-digit Brazilian area code, correspond to. Handy to route a phone lead to the right regional team without asking the person where they live.

When to use it
your form only collects a phone number and you still need a region.
Watch out
the Make docs do not say whether it takes the full phone number. Test with Run once, and split out the area code if needed.
Brasil API4

Buscar Taxa (por sigla)

ActionIn the docs only

Fetches a rate from Brasil API when you know its acronym; that is what the Portuguese name says. It spares you from pasting a figure by hand into a quote or a report.

When to use it
a document or a spreadsheet row needs a Brazilian reference rate at the moment the scenario runs.
Watch out
the Make docs do not list which acronyms are accepted, so test the one you need with Run once.
Brasil API5

Listar Feriados Nacionais (por Ano)

ActionIn the docs only

Hands you the list of Brazilian national holidays for the year you pick, ready to feed a calendar or a planning sheet. Its name starts with Listar, list, so expect several items back, not one.

When to use it
you plan deliveries, shifts or campaigns in Brazil and need the days off in advance.
Watch out
each holiday can become its own bundle, so each downstream module spends an operation per holiday.
Brasil API6

Listar Municípios (por UF)

ActionIn the docs only

Brings back the municipalities of one Brazilian state, the UF being its two-letter code. You get a reference list to fill a dropdown, check a city name or split a territory between sales reps.

When to use it
you open a new region and want its cities in a sheet.
Watch out
expect one bundle per city. Every module that follows then counts an operation for each.
Brasil API7

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Opens the rest of the Brasil API to your scenario, reusing the connection you already created. It is the fallback when none of the six named modules covers the data you are after.

When to use it
you found an endpoint in the Brasil API reference that has no module in Make.
Watch out
here you write the request yourself, so check the path and the answer with Run once before you switch the scenario on.

FAQ

Brasil API and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Brasil API Make integration free?
Yes, Brasil API is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan. That plan has limits worth knowing: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one per module per bundle, so a list of holidays or municipalities spends more than a single CEP lookup.
02What do you need to connect Brasil API to Make?
A Make account and a Brasil API module in a scenario. You click Create a connection, optionally name it, follow the authorization or key screen if Make shows one, and click Save. The Make documentation lists no prerequisite for this app and states that its information on Brasil API is limited. So the connection screen is the reference: if it asks for nothing, there is nothing to prepare. The same connection then serves all 7 modules, including Make an API Call.
03Can Brasil API trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No, Brasil API has no trigger module in Make, so it cannot start a scenario by itself. Something else starts it. The usual choice is a trigger from another app, such as a new form entry or a new CRM record, followed by the Brasil API lookup. The other option is the schedule on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan and 1 minute on paid plans.
04What if a Brasil API module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Brasil API with the connection you already have, so you are not limited to the six named modules. The catch is that you build the request yourself, and Make says its Brasil API documentation is thin. Test the call with Run once and read the returned bundle before mapping it further. If the data you need is not in Brasil API at all, another app from the catalog is the better route.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Brasil API?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Brasil API comes with 7 action modules, a shared connection and Make an API Call for anything else, and it is available from the Free plan. Check whether n8n offers a node for Brasil API before comparing, because a dedicated module saves setup either way. After that, judge on what matters to you: how your team likes to build, which other apps you connect, and how usage is counted on each side.
