## Endpoints and jobs

| Endpoint | Job | Price | Runs (30 days) | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Focus survey market expectations](/public-catalog/bcb-focus-expectations) | `bcb.expectations.focus` | free | 94.1% of 17 runs without an error, median 1.1 s | no benchmark yet |
| [Latest values of an SGS time series](/public-catalog/bcb-sgs-latest) | `bcb.series.latest` | free | not enough runs to rank | no benchmark yet |
| [PTAX exchange rates for a currency and period](/public-catalog/bcb-ptax-rates) | `bcb.fx.ptax` | free | not enough runs to rank | no benchmark yet |

## How the numbers are measured

Run numbers are looot's own runs of each endpoint over the last 30 days: the share that completed without an error, and the median time to answer. An endpoint with fewer than 10 runs in that window shows "not enough runs to rank" and is never ranked. Prices are what looot charges per call or per result, fee included, read from the live catalog; you prepay credit and each call is charged when it runs.
