What is the mindicador.cl API?

mindicador.cl is a free Chilean economic indicators API requiring no key. A single request to the root returns the current value of the UF, UTM, observed dollar, euro, IPC and several other official indicators, each with its own reference date.

Chile prices a surprising amount of everyday life in Unidades de Fomento rather than pesos — rents, mortgages, insurance and many contracts — so a Chilean application usually needs the UF before it can render a single price. This API returns the UF alongside the UTM, the observed dollar and the euro in one call, sourced from Banco Central de Chile publications.

The critical thing is that each indicator carries its **own** `fecha`, and they are not the same. The dollar and UF update daily while IPC is monthly and `dolar_intercambio` in the current response is stamped 2014 — a series that stopped updating years ago but is still present in the payload. Read the per-indicator date and show it, or suppress anything staler than your threshold; the top-level `fecha` describes the response, not each value in it.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`/{indicator}`	path segment	Optional	Fetch one indicator's full history, for example `/uf` or `/dolar`. `uf`
`/{indicator}/{year}`	path segment	Optional	Historical values for a single year. `uf/2025`

Response fields

version / autorstring: API version and attribution string.
fechastring: When this response was assembled — not the reference date of any individual indicator.
ufobject: Unidad de Fomento, in pesos. The inflation-indexed unit most Chilean contracts are denominated in.
utmobject: Unidad Tributaria Mensual, the monthly tax unit, in pesos.
dolar / euroobject: Observed exchange rates in pesos per unit.
ipcobject: Consumer price index change, expressed as a percentage, updated monthly.
{indicator}.fechastring: Reference date for that specific indicator. Always read it — some series are years stale.
{indicator}.unidad_medidastring: `Pesos`, `Porcentaje` or similar; states what the value means.

Common errors and how to fix them

404 on a date

The date is formatted `YYYY-MM-DD` instead of `DD-MM-YYYY`.

Fix: The path expects day first with hyphens, for example `21-08-2026`.

Stale value

Some indicators in the root response stopped updating years ago.

Fix: Check each indicator's own `fecha` and suppress anything older than your tolerance. `dolar_intercambio` is the usual offender.

Empty serie array

No published values for that year or date.

Fix: Weekends and Chilean holidays have no daily value; monthly indicators only have twelve points a year.

mindicador.cl API — frequently asked questions

What is the UF and why does a Chilean app need it?

The Unidad de Fomento is an inflation-indexed unit of account. Rents, mortgages, insurance premiums and many contracts are denominated in UF rather than pesos, so converting to pesos requires the day's UF value.

Is mindicador.cl free to use?

Yes. It requires no key or account and sends permissive CORS headers, so it can be called directly from browser code.

Why is one of the indicators dated 2014?

Not every series in the root response is still maintained. `dolar_intercambio` in particular has not updated in years. Each indicator carries its own `fecha` precisely so you can detect this.

Can I get historical values?

Yes. Request a single indicator to get its full published history, add a year for that year only, or add a `DD-MM-YYYY` date for one value.
