Hey Product Hunt,
I built Crime Brasil because Brazilian crime data is scattered across state-police PDFs and CSVs with inconsistent formats and no geocoding. Journalists and researchers spend weeks cleaning data before they can ask the real questions.
Crime Brasil does the boring work:
- Daily scraping of official sources
- Geocoding + normalization (neighborhood-level where available, municipality level otherwise)
- Consistent categories across years and jurisdictions
- Free REST API, CSV/Parquet downloads, daily updates
What we have:
ā Rio Grande do Sul: 2.99M incidents (2022ā2025), 497 municipalities, 79,024 neighborhoods, 99.99% geocoded ā the only state we currently have at neighborhood level
ā Minas Gerais: 965K violent incidents (municipality-level)
ā Rio de Janeiro: 37K ISP/CISP records (municipality-level)
ā National transit accidents (PRF DATATRAN 2020ā2026)
ā National interpersonal violence (DATASUS SINAN 2009ā2024)
ā Freedom-of-information requests filed in 14 states
It's 100% free, no account needed, no paywall. If you build anything with this (civic tech, journalism tools, research), use it freely ā all I ask is a credit link back to crimebrasil.com.br when you do.
What I'd love feedback on:
- API design (endpoints, filters, rate limits)
- Which states to publish next
- Use cases I should prioritize
