What do you mean that it's not updated? – Nick ODell – 2013-05-13T15:25:48.053

@NickODell as the bitcoin value keep fluctuating, accordingly the value of the BRL currency also changing so this value is not shown as it changes. – sandip – 2013-05-14T09:48:12.440

There are actually a couple of Brazilian exchanges that publish rates, but what they're not doing is providing an API. That's going to make it more difficult to curl in. – Yitzhak – 2014-03-04T02:01:04.577

Something you could do is use the btc-e api to get the bitcoin to dollars or euros price, and find a forex api that does dollars or euros to Real, and mash the whole thing together. – Yitzhak – 2014-03-04T02:02:36.140

@DoctorEvil Bitcoin is overcharged in Brazil, so your procedure won't return the actual price there. Mercado Bitcoin now has an API, see my answer. – Felipe Voloch – 2014-06-02T13:08:14.310

BitPay have a JSON API on https://bitpay.com/api/rates
You can get BRL value with this command and calculate, (this API update every 1 minute)

curl -ks https://bitpay.com/api/rates | python -m json.tool | grep -iA 1 'Brasilian Real' | grep -i 'rate' | cut -f2 -d ':' | tr -d ' '

You will need:
- CURL
- Python 2.7+
- grep + cut + tr

This is a simple way to print the value of 1 BTC in BRL with PHP.

You could manipulate the string containing the value for 1 BTC in BRL further if you need.

<?php

$jsnsrc = "https://blockchain.info/ticker";
$json = file_get_contents($jsnsrc);
$json = json_decode($json);
$one_Btc_To_Brl = $json->BRL->last;

print "1 BTC = " . $one_Btc_to_Brl;
?>
