List all 25 departments (regions) of Peru with their geography IDs and ubigeo codes.

Returns id_geografia (used in other tools), ubigeo (6-digit code), ccdd (2-digit dept code), and department name.

Use this first to get the id_geografia or ccdd needed by other tools.

List all provinces in a Peruvian department.

Provide ccdd (2-digit department code) — e.g. '15' for Lima, '01' for Amazonas. Get ccdd from inei_get_departments.

Returns province list with id_geografia, ubigeo, nombre, ccdd, ccpp.

Search INEI thematic statistical indicators by keyword.

The INEI Estadist database contains indicators from the National Census 2017 and other official surveys. Search by keyword to find indicators on population, education, housing, health, employment, poverty, and more.

Returns indicator ID (id_indicador), name, and hierarchical path (ruta). Use id_indicador with inei_get_indicator_data to retrieve actual values.

Example searches: 'poblacion', 'educacion', 'vivienda', 'salud', 'empleo', 'pobreza', 'analfabetismo', 'electricidad', 'agua', 'desague'

Get census data for a geography, referencing a specific indicator ID.

Note: due to API changes, returns all available census data for the geography rather than a single filtered indicator. Scan seccion1/seccion2 for your indicator.
