Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.3.0, the argument 'currency' was renamed to 'code' in the `get` method. Existing code using `currency=` will fail.

fix

Replace `currency` with `code` in all BCB.get() calls.

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchaThe library returns data in pandas DataFrame format by default. If pandas is not installed, the library may silently fallback to dict/list types, causing attribute errors.

fix

Ensure pandas is installed: `pip install pandas`. Explicitly check import.

affects: all

deprecatedThe method `bcb.get_currency_codes()` is deprecated in favor of `bcb.codes()`. The old method may be removed in future versions.

fix

Use `bcb.codes()` instead of `bcb.get_currency_codes()`.

affects: >=0.3.0
