Consolidates Information from the Federal Government Payment Card.

📦 cpgfR

The cpgfR package provides a consolidated database of the Federal Government Payment Card (CPGF).

The Federal Government Payment Card (CPGF) is a payment instrument used by the government that operates similarly to a regular credit card, but within specific limits and regulations. The government uses the CPGF to cover its own expenses, provided they qualify as advances of funds (suprimento de fundos).

📥 Installation

cpgfR is also available on GitHub. You can install pre-release versions via:

if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("datafobia/cpgf")

How does it work?

Database the Federal Government Payment Card CPGF - Brazil (2013 up to April 2025)

# Load the package
library(cpgfR)

# Access the dataset
dataset <- cpgf_data()

# See the data
View(cpgf_data)

But you may need the database directly from the source: https://portaldatransparencia.gov.br/download-de-dados/cpgf, which provides monthly data. In this case, you can use the get_cpgf function.

# Download
january24 <- get_cpgf(2024, 1)

# See the data
View(january24)

To automatically create a variable with the deflated value, simply provide the reference month and year in the deflate parameter.

# Download
january2023 <- get_cpgf(2023, 1, "01/2024")

# See the data
View(january2023)
