# Querying Indonesian Government Data

🇮🇩 STARTER_CHARACTER = 🇮🇩

Route the user's intent to the right child reference, then follow its patterns.

## Router

| User intent | Load reference | Quick pattern |
|------------|---------------|---------------|
| Halal certification, halal product check | [references/bpjph-halal.md](references/bpjph-halal.md) | `POST cmsbl.halal.go.id/api/search/data_penyelia` JSON, no auth |
| Food/drug/cosmetic registration, BPOM | [references/bpom-products.md](references/bpom-products.md) | Session + CSRF → `POST cekbpom.pom.go.id/produk-dt` |
| Is this fintech/investment legal, OJK | [references/ojk-legality.md](references/ojk-legality.md) | `GET sikapiuangmu.ojk.go.id/FrontEnd/AlertPortal/Search` |
| Weather in Indonesia, earthquake, tsunami | [references/bmkg-weather.md](references/bmkg-weather.md) | `GET data.bmkg.go.id/DataMKG/TEWS/autogempa.json` |
| GDP, inflation, population, trade stats | [references/bps-statistics.md](references/bps-statistics.md) | `GET webapi.bps.go.id/v1/api/...` (free API key) |
| USD/IDR exchange rate, BI Rate | [references/bank-indonesia.md](references/bank-indonesia.md) | Scrape `bi.go.id/id/statistik/informasi-kurs/` |
| Indonesian law, regulation, specific pasal | [references/pasal-id-law.md](references/pasal-id-law.md) | MCP (third-party): `claude mcp add --transport http pasal-id ...` |
| Government datasets on any topic | [references/ckan-portals.md](references/ckan-portals.md) | `GET {portal}/api/3/action/package_search` |
| Disaster risk for a location | [references/inarisk-disaster.md](references/inarisk-disaster.md) | `GET inarisk.bnpb.go.id/api/risk/score?lat=&lon=` |
| Verify company is registered | [references/company-verification.md](references/company-verification.md) | OpenCorporates → OCCRP → AHU cross-ref |
| Indonesian stock prices, IHSG | [references/idx-stocks.md](references/idx-stocks.md) | `yfinance` with `.JK` suffix |

## Workflow

1. Match user intent to a row in the Router table above
2. Read the linked reference file for full endpoint docs and code
3. Adapt the pattern with user's specific query/parameters
4. Execute and handle failures per the section below

## Failure Modes

**IP Blocked (403 / Timeout):** Most `.go.id` sites block datacenter IPs. Add 2-5s delays or route through Cloudflare Workers proxy.

**CSRF Expired:** Re-fetch the HTML page, extract fresh `csrf-token` from `<meta>` tag. Applies to BPOM.

**Rate Limits:** BPS ~100/day, OpenCorporates 500/day, OCCRP 60/min, BPOM 2s gap minimum.

**Required Headers:**
```python
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36",
    "Accept-Language": "id-ID,id;q=0.9,en;q=0.8",
}
```

**Data Formats:** Indonesian gov sites use Excel (.xlsx) and PDF heavily. Parse with `openpyxl` and `pdfplumber`. JSON APIs are the exception.

## Extended Docs
