Portugal (public data)

What emergency services (civil protection, ANEPC) are responding to right now in Portugal, closest first. Live occurrences of every kind: fires, road collisions, fallen trees, floods, rescues, with their status (e.g. "Em Curso"), time started and resources on scene. Updated every few minutes. Police-only activity (PSP/GNR) is not published anywhere and is not included. Args: near: a postal code ("4450-208") or municipality ("Matosinhos") to search around; any other text (a parish or village) filters by the incident's location name instead. lat, lon: search around these coordinates (best when the user shares their location). radius_km: search radius around the point (default 10, max 100). kind: "all", "fire", "road", "weather" (trees, floods, wind, landslides) or "rescue". limit: max incidents listed (counts always cover every match). With no place at all, returns the national picture (counts by kind and district, biggest first).

Find Banco de Portugal statistical series by keyword. Examples: "euribor 12 meses", "taxa de juro novos empréstimos habitação", "dólar", "dívida pública", "depósitos particulares", "preços habitação". The search picks the most likely statistical domains (or the one you pass as domain_id) and searches the series inside them; it also lists every domain so you can retry with a specific domain_id. The first search of a domain takes a few seconds to a minute; then it is cached for a week. Args: lang: "PT" or "EN" (labels are richer in PT).

Observations of Banco de Portugal series (ids from bpstat_search). Args: series_ids: one or more series ids (max 10), e.g. [12559924]. last_n: latest observations per series (1-500). Ignored when `since` is given. since: "YYYY-MM-DD" — return every observation from this date. lang: "PT" or "EN".

Find Carris Metropolitana bus stops by name and/or near a coordinate. Use this first whenever the user names a place, street, station or gives a location, to get the stop_id needed by bus_next_arrivals. Results include the lines serving each stop. Args: query: Text to match in the stop name (accent/case-insensitive, all words must match), e.g. "Gare do Oriente", "Cacilhas terminal". A 6-digit stop id also works. lat, lon: A coordinate (WGS84). Results are sorted by straight-line distance from it. Note: buses inside Lisbon city are mostly run by Carris (a different company, not covered here); Carris Metropolitana serves the wider region. radius_m: Only stops within this many metres of lat/lon. Default 500 when no query is given; unlimited when a query is given. limit: Max stops to return (default 10, max 50).

Details of a Carris Metropolitana line: name, route ends, directions, municipalities. Use for "where does line 4715 go?", "which bus goes from Cacilhas to Almada?", or to check whether a line passes a stop (include_stops=True). If `line` is not an exact line number it is treated as text (e.g. "Oriente Setubal") and the matching lines are listed instead. trips_today = 0 means the line does not run today (some lines are seasonal or weekday-only). Departure times past midnight are written "24:30", "25:10" (same service day). Args: line: 4-digit line number ("4715") or free text matched against line names. include_stops: Also list every stop (id + name) in order for each direction.

Upcoming buses at a Carris Metropolitana stop, real-time where available. Use for "when is the next bus at X?" (get stop_id from bus_find_stops first). Each arrival says whether it is "realtime" (live GPS estimate) or "scheduled" (timetable only: the bus may not have started its trip yet). minutes_from_now uses the real-time estimate when present. Times are Europe/Lisbon. Only today's operational day is covered, so late at night the list may be short or empty. Args: stop_id: 6-digit stop id, e.g. "060361". line_id: Optional 4-digit line number to keep only that line, e.g. "2794". limit: Max arrivals to return (default 10, max 50).

Service alerts (detours, works, strikes, stops not served) for Carris Metropolitana. Use before recommending a trip, or when the user asks "is line X disrupted?". Filter by line and/or stop; with no filter, returns all current alerts (there are often ~100). Alerts are mostly published in Portuguese only. Args: line_id: 4-digit line number, e.g. "4407". stop_id: 6-digit stop id, e.g. "160584". include_upcoming: Also return alerts that start in the future (default True). language: Preferred language ("pt" or "en"); falls back to what exists. limit: Max alerts to return (default 20, max 100).

Live GPS positions of the buses currently running on a Carris Metropolitana line. Use for "where is the 3508 right now?" or to see how many buses are out on a line. Each vehicle includes its position, heading, speed, the stop it is at / heading to, and how many seconds old the fix is. Args: line_id: 4-digit line number, e.g. "3508".

Recent earthquakes recorded by IPMA. Args: region: "mainland" (mainland Portugal and Madeira) or "azores". days: look back this many days (max 30). min_magnitude: only quakes at or above this magnitude. limit: max rows (newest first).

Everything about one MOBI.E charging site: all its points with live status, power, connectors and price, plus operator contact, opening hours and accepted authentication (app, RFID card, credit card...). Use after ev_chargers. Accepts a site_id (e.g. "EZC-AMD-00051"), a point_id (e.g. "AMD-00051-1") or an EVSE id (e.g. "PT*EZC*E*AMD*00051*1").

Public EV charging sites near a point in Portugal (MOBI.E network), nearest first, with live status and the price the network publishes for each charging point. Use for "where can I charge near X?", "fast chargers near me", "is there a free CCS charger nearby?". Needs coordinates; if the user gives a place name, use known coordinates for it. Covers mainland Portugal, Azores and Madeira. Args: lat, lon: Point to search around (WGS84). radius_km: Search radius (default 5, max 100). min_power_kw: Only points that can deliver at least this power, e.g. 50 for fast DC. connector: "CCS" (CCS2), "Type 2", "CHAdeMO", "CEE", or "DC" / "AC". available_only: Only points whose live status is "available" right now. limit: Max sites to return (default 10, max 50). Each site: operator, address, distance_km, opening hours and its matching points, each with status (available, in use, out of order...), max power, connectors and price (per_kwh / per_minute / per_session in EUR, from the feed). IMPORTANT: these are the charging operator's published fees and may not be the whole bill: see `price_note` and tell the user. `data_freshness` says how old the inventory and live status are. The first call of the day downloads ~220 MB from MOBI.E and can take 1-3 minutes.

One-shot answer to "I need medicine X in city Y — what do I do?" in Portugal. Runs medicine_availability(medicine) and pharmacies(city or lat/lon), and returns: the shortage status (compact), the pharmacies on duty today and the ones open now (nearest first when lat/lon are given), the help lines (Linha 1400, SNS 24, 112) and next steps. It never says a pharmacy has the medicine: stock is not public. Args: medicine: Brand name or active substance, e.g. "quetiapina", "Brufen 400". city: Municipality or town, e.g. "Lisboa". Or give lat/lon instead. lat, lon: Optional user position (sorts pharmacies by distance). limit: Max pharmacies returned (default 8).

Wildfire danger (RCM, risco de incêndio rural) for a municipality, today or tomorrow. Args: municipality: concelho name, e.g. "Sintra", "Monchique". day: 0 = today, 1 = tomorrow. Scale: 1 reduzido, 2 moderado, 3 elevado, 4 muito elevado, 5 máximo.

Cheapest fuel stations in Portugal for one fuel type, cheapest first (official DGEG prices). Use for "where is diesel/petrol/LPG cheapest in Lisboa / near me / in Braga?". Give an area as a district, a municipality, or a point (lat + lon, with radius_km); with no area it searches all of Portugal. Names are case- and accent-insensitive ("evora" works). Args: fuel_type: A DGEG fuel name or id, e.g. "Gasóleo simples" (regular diesel, 2101), "Gasolina simples 95" (regular 95 petrol, 3201), "Gasolina 98", "GPL Auto" (LPG), or plain words: "diesel", "petrol", "95", "98", "lpg", "cng". See fuel_types() for the full list. district: Portuguese district, e.g. "Lisboa", "Porto", "Faro". municipality: Municipality (concelho), e.g. "Sintra", "Vila Nova de Gaia". Overrides district. lat, lon: A point (WGS84). Results get distance_km and are limited to radius_km. radius_km: Search radius around lat/lon (default 10). brand: Only this brand (substring match), e.g. "Galp", "Prio", "Intermarché". limit: How many stations to return (default 10, max 50). Each station: price_eur (per litre, or per kg/m3 for gas), brand, name, address, municipality, distance_km (with lat/lon), coordinates and last_update (the station's last price update). Also returns how many stations matched and the min/median/max price. Always mention the source (DGEG) and the last_update when quoting prices.

Full details of one fuel station: every fuel it sells with price and last update, opening hours, services (car wash, shop, tyre air...) and payment methods. Use after fuel_prices, with a station `id` from its results.

List DGEG fuel types (id, name, unit) and the districts accepted by fuel_prices. Only needed when unsure which fuel name to pass; fuel_prices also understands "diesel", "petrol", "95", "98", "lpg".

Values of an INE indicator, latest periods first. Args: varcd: 7-digit indicator code from ine_search, e.g. "0008074". place: geography name to keep, e.g. "Portugal", "Lisboa", "Norte", "Porto". Default: "Portugal" when present, otherwise all geographies. periods: how many of the latest reference periods to return (1-24). category: keep only rows whose category labels contain this text (e.g. "Total", "Mulheres"). lang: "PT" or "EN". limit: max rows.

Find INE indicators by keyword (e.g. "inflação", "desemprego", "população", "rendas", "turismo"). Searches INE's catalogue of key indicators. Returns varcd codes to pass to ine_indicator. Any other INE indicator can be read with ine_indicator if you know its code (from www.ine.pt). Args: lang: "PT" (more complete wording) or "EN".

Is a medicine in shortage in Portugal? Checks Infarmed's published availability information. Use when someone can't find a medicine, or asks whether X is in shortage ("rutura", "esgotado", "falta"). Searches by brand or active substance (Portuguese names work best, e.g. "quetiapina", "Ozempic", "ácido acetilsalicílico"; dose and form narrow it, e.g. "quetiapina 300 mg libertação prolongada"). Checks, all from www.infarmed.pt (latest versions are found automatically): - shortages Infarmed is actively monitoring (with its circulars and advice); - the monthly list of medicines whose export is temporarily suspended because of shortage / supply risk in Portugal; - the quarterly prior-notification list (LNP) of medicines with availability concerns. status is one or more of: monitored_shortage, export_suspended, prior_notification, no_issue_in_published_lists. "No issue" does not prove the medicine is available: Infarmed's full shortage search is not queried (see not_checked). Args: medicine: Brand name or active substance, optionally with strength/form. limit: Max rows returned per list (default 15).

Verified help lines in Portugal for medicine problems: 112, SNS 24, Linha 1400, Infarmed. Use when someone can't find a medicine, needs urgent advice, or asks who to call. Each line has its number, what it is for, hours where published, and the page it was checked on.

Pharmacies in a Portuguese municipality, with which ones are on duty today and open now. Use for "farmácia de serviço em X", "pharmacy open now near me", or to list pharmacies to call. Each pharmacy has name, address, phone, coordinates, today's hours, open_now, on_duty (official duty roster for the duty day 09:00-09:00) and the duty type (e.g. "Permanente - Aberta 24h"). Results are sorted: on duty first, then open now, then distance (when lat/lon are given). Stock is not public: never say a pharmacy has a medicine. Args: city: Municipality or town/parish, e.g. "Lisboa", "Porto", "Cascais", "Alvalade, Lisboa" (add ", <municipality>" to disambiguate a town). lat, lon: Optional user position: adds distance_km and allows radius_km.

Hospital outpatient consultations per month and the % of FIRST specialist consultations (referred by a family doctor via CTH/SIGA) held within the guaranteed maximum time (TMRG). Use for "how long is the wait for a first hospital appointment at X?", "is hospital Y on time with first consultations?", "how many consultations did the Centro region do?". Official monthly statistics (latest month usually 2-3 months back, provisional); there is no breakdown by specialty in the open data. Per period (latest first): consultations_in_month / _year_to_date (total, first, subsequent) and first_consultations_within_max_time_pct for the month and year-to-date. Args: institution: Hospital or ULS name; mapped to its ULS. region: Norte | Centro | LVT (Lisboa) | Alentejo | Algarve. Ignored if institution is given. period: Latest month to include, "YYYY-MM" (default: newest available). months: How many months back (default 6, max 24).

Emergency-department (urgência) visits per month: by type and by Manchester triage colour. Use for "how busy is the ER at X?", "how many emergency visits in the Algarve last month?", "what share of ER visits are green/blue (non-urgent)?". OFFICIAL MONTHLY STATISTICS ONLY — not the live queue (the latest month is usually 2-3 months back and provisional). For live waiting times send the user to https://tempos.min-saude.pt. Not medical advice: in an emergency call 112; SNS 24 (808 24 24 24) for advice. Scope: one institution, one region, or (neither) all of mainland Portugal's SNS hospitals. Per period (latest first): visits_in_month and visits_year_to_date by type (general, paediatric, obstetric, psychiatric, total), triage_in_month by colour (red = immediate, orange = very urgent, yellow = urgent, green = less urgent, blue = non-urgent, white = not clinical / other) and triage_share_in_month_pct. Args: institution: Hospital or ULS name, accent-insensitive ("Santa Maria", "São João", "Hospital de Faro").

Find SNS hospitals / local health units (ULS) by name, or the nearest ones to a coordinate. Use this first when the user names a hospital or a place ("hospitals near Lisbon", "is there an emergency department near 38.72,-9.14?"), then pass `stats_entity` to sns_emergency_stats / sns_surgery_wait_stats / sns_consultation_wait_stats. Each result: name, its parent ULS, coordinates, distance_km (when lat/lon given), whether it reports emergency / consultation / surgery data on tempos.min-saude.pt, and `stats_entity` — the name under which the official statistics report it (statistics are per ULS / hospital group, not per building). This list does NOT contain live waiting times; for live emergency waits send the user to https://tempos.min-saude.pt. Args: query: Part of the name, accent-insensitive, e.g. "Santa Maria", "Faro", "ULS Algarve". lat, lon: Sort by distance from this point (WGS84), e.g. Lisbon 38.7223, -9.1393. Without `query`, umbrella ULS entries are skipped (they duplicate a hospital's location). emergency_only: Only places that report emergency-department data. limit: Max results (default 10, max 50).

Run an ODSQL query on any SNS Transparency portal dataset (Opendatasoft Explore API v2.1). Use after sns_search_datasets for anything the curated tools don't cover. Clauses are ODSQL: - where: `instituicao like "santa maria" and tempo >= date'2026-01-01'` (`like` is a case- and accent-insensitive "contains"; dates use date'YYYY-MM-DD') - select: `tempo, instituicao, total_urgencias` or aggregates `sum(total_urgencias) as total` - group_by: `regiao` or `tempo` (combine with aggregates in select) - order_by: `tempo desc` Most hospital-activity datasets (field `tempo`, monthly) store YEAR-TO-DATE CUMULATIVE values: December is the annual total; a single month = this month minus the previous one. Many datasets have a `regiao` and an `instituicao` (or `entidade`) field. Official statistics, not live data. Args: dataset_id: e.g. "ocupacao-do-internamento" (from sns_search_datasets). where, select, group_by, order_by: ODSQL clauses (optional). limit: Rows to return (default 20, max 100). offset: Skip rows, for paging.

Search the ~150 datasets of the SNS Transparency portal (titles and descriptions are in Portuguese). Use when the curated tools don't cover the question — e.g. hospital bed occupancy ("ocupação"), births/caesareans ("partos"), INEM pre-hospital calls, SNS 24 calls, family doctor coverage ("médico de família", "inscritos"), medicines spending, staff ("trabalhadores"), cancer screening ("rastreios"). Then call sns_query_dataset with the dataset_id and the field names returned here. Portuguese keywords work best; matching is accent-insensitive. Args: query: Keywords, e.g. "ocupação internamento", "partos", "urgência". Empty = list all (id + title). limit: Max results (default 10, max 50; ignored when listing all).

Surgery access indicators per month: surgical waiting list, % within the guaranteed maximum time, mean days from admission to surgery, and surgeries performed. Use for "how long is the wait for surgery at X?", "how many people are on the surgery list in the Norte region?", "how many operations did hospital Y do?". Official monthly statistics (latest month usually 2-3 months back, provisional). The open data has NO breakdown by specialty or procedure — say so if asked for one. Per period (latest first): - waiting_list: patients on the surgical waiting list (LIC) at month end, how many are still within the legal maximum guaranteed response time (TMRG, 180 days for normal priority since 2018) and the % within it. - mean_days_before_surgery_in_month / _year_to_date: average days between hospital admission and the operation for scheduled inpatient surgery (this is NOT the time on the waiting list). - surgeries_in_month / surgeries_year_to_date: scheduled (= inpatient + day surgery) and urgent. Args: institution: Hospital or ULS name ("Santa Maria", "Coimbra", "IPO Porto"); mapped to its ULS. region: Norte | Centro | LVT (Lisboa) | Alentejo | Algarve. Ignored if institution is given. period: Latest month to include, "YYYY-MM" (default: newest available). months: How many months back (default 6, max 24).
