The CBRT package includes functions for finding, and downloading data from the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey’s database.
The CBRT database covers more than 40,000 time series variables.
With the change made in CBRT API in April 1924, the “key” value is required to be added to the HTTP Request Header in web service calls. The current version of the CBRT package (0.1.1) has been adapted to the required change. Since there is no change in function parameters, the users can use the code prepared for version 0.1.0 without any modification.
The package is now available at CRAN (November 13, 2024), and can be installed by
You can install the package from the source by using the following command (the CBRT package depends on the data.table and curl packages):
install.packages("http://users.metu.edu.tr/etaymaz/files/CBRT_0.1.1.tar.gz",
repos = NULL, type = "source")You may also install it from GitHub. Install the the devtools package if not installed, then
Please kindly note that you need a key to download data from the CBRT’s database. To get the key, register at the CBRT’s Electronic Data Delivery System. Registration is free of charge and takes only a few minutes.
All data series (variables) are classified into data groups, and data groups into data categories. There are 44 data categories (including the archieved ones), 496 data groups, and 40,826 data series.
To find variables, use the searchCBRT function:

## 11: lastYou can download either one or more data series you specified, or all data series in a data group.
To download individual data series, use the
getDataSeries function:
mySeries <- getDataSeries("TP.D1TOP", CBRTKey = xxxxxx)
mySeries <- getDataSeries(c("TP.D1TOP", "TP.D2HAZ", "TP.D4TCMB"), CBRTKey = xxxxxx)
mySeries <- getDataSeries(c("TP.D1TOP", "TP.D2HAZ", "TP.D4TCMB"), CBRTKey = xxxxxx,
startDate="01-01-2010")To download all data series in a group, use the
getDataGroup function:
If you create an object called myCBRTKey in R session to store your CBRT key, you do not need to define it for downloading:
myCBRTKey <- your-key
Then,
mySeries <- getDataSeries("TP.D1TOP")
mySeries <- getDataSeries(c("TP.D1TOP", "TP.D2HAZ", "TP.D4TCMB"))
mySeries <- getDataSeries(c("TP.D1TOP", "TP.D2HAZ", "TP.D4TCMB"), startDate="01-01-2010")
myData <- getDataGroup("bie_dbafod")You can also specify the frequency and the aggregation method for the series to be downloaded.
The freq parameter defines the frequency of the data. If
you do not define any frequency, the default frequency will be used.
The aggType paremeter defines the method to be used to
aggregate data series from high frequency to low frequency (for example,
weekly data to monthly data). If no aggregation method is defined, the
default will be used. (For the default values, use the
showGroupInfo function.)
For example, if you define monthly frequency for weekly data, and
“sum” as the aggregation method, then the monthly totals will be
returned. Since a data group includes more than one series, the
getDataGroup function does not have any
aggType parameter, and it aggregates data series by using
their default aggregation method.
The following frequencies are defined (from high frequency to low frequency):
1 Day2 Work day3 Week4 Biweekly5 Month6 Quarter7 Six months8 YearThe following aggregation methods are available:
avg Average valuefirst First observationlast Last observationmax Maximum valuemin Minimum valuesum SumThe myData object is in data.table and
data.frame classes, and it includes a
time variable, and data series. The
time variable will be either in date or
numeric format depending on its frequency.
