Detects whether Brazilian economists are revising inflation (IPCA), policy-rate (Selic), growth (PIB Total) or FX (Câmbio) expectations, and measures the speed and dispersion of those revisions — 1-week, 4-week and 13-week changes in the Focus survey median, plus a deterministic rising/falling/stable direction and accelerating/ decelerating/stable speed classification (method_id focus_revisions_v1). Built directly on Focus historical vintages — never recalculates a past date using data published after it. Use when: assessing sentiment shifts among professional economists for Brazil's main macro indicators, or whether a recent revision is speeding up or slowing down. Do not use when: you want market-implied pricing (use get_brazil_copom_path) or a market-vs-consensus comparison (use compare_brazil_market_vs_focus) — this tool is Focus-survey-only. Units are NOT always basis points — check the `unit` field in the response (bps for Selic/IPCA, percentage_points for PIB Total, BRL for Câmbio). Args: indicator: one of "Selic", "IPCA", "PIB Total", "Câmbio". reference_period: e.g. "2027" (the forecast year). Defaults to the current year. segment: "general" (all respondents) or "top5". Never mixed. as_of: optional YYYY-MM-DD date. Defaults to today. payment_token: required in staging ($0.05/call per pricing.yaml).
