Description

Stedica MexKPI adds always-current pages for 12 Mexican economic and fiscal indicators to any WordPress site. The figures come straight from the official publications and, once you allow the connection, update themselves twice a day.

Indicators

DOF (FIX) US dollar exchange rate
Euro exchange rate
Inflation, annual and monthly
INPC (Índice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor)
UDIS (Unidades de Inversión)
TIIE: 28, 91 and 182 days, and overnight (fondeo)
Cetes: 28, 91, 182 and 364 days
S&P/BMV IPC (Mexican Stock Exchange)
GDP (PIB) growth, annual and quarterly
UMA (Unidad de Medida y Actualización)
General minimum wage
Tax surcharge rate (recargos)

Each indicator page shows

The latest values and how they changed
An answer-first summary sentence with the current figures
An interactive chart with period buttons
The full history table, with a year selector for daily series
A CSV download
Frequently asked questions, the official source and a disclaimer
Dataset and FAQPage structured data (JSON-LD)

A hub shortcode shows one card per indicator, with its latest value, the change and a small chart.

Works with any theme or page builder

The shortcodes work wherever WordPress runs shortcodes: the block editor, the classic editor, widgets and page builders such as Elementor. They load their own styles and scripts only on the pages that use them, and the styles adapt to the theme’s fonts.

Settings

Choose which of the 12 indicators to show, and in what order (drag and drop or arrow buttons)
Choose 1 to 6 columns for the hub cards
Fill the theme’s or editor’s container, or set a maximum width
Pick the colors of the title section, cards, buttons, text, borders and chart lines, with a live preview
Enter the yearly values (minimum wage, surcharge rates) and correct any value by hand

Completely free

Every feature is included. There is no paid version, no upgrade prompt, no tracking and no ads.

Languages

The plugin is in English and includes a complete Spanish (Mexico) translation. Other Spanish locales use the Spanish (Mexico) translation until they have their own.

Shortcodes

[mexkpi_hub] – the hub with one card per indicator. Optional: columns="3", ids="inpc,uma", width="container" or width="1000".
[mexkpi id="inpc"] – one indicator page. Ids: tipo-de-cambio, euro, inflacion, inpc, udis, tiie, cetes, ipc, pib, uma, salario-minimo, recargos. Optional: hero="0" hides the title section, heading="h1" makes its heading an H1, and width works as above.

Third-party code

The charts use uPlot 1.6.30 by Leon Sorokin, released under the MIT license (see assets/LICENSE-uplot.txt). Source: https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot/tree/1.6.30

External services

This plugin connects to two public services of the Mexican government to fetch the indicator data. It does not send any information about your visitors.

Nothing is contacted until you allow it. Activating the plugin makes no external request and schedules nothing. Stedica MexKPI Status & Data explains both services, what is sent and when, and links to their terms and privacy notices; the connection starts only when an administrator presses “Allow connection and start updates” (or runs wp mexkpi connect). “Stop automatic updates” on the same screen ends it at any time.

Diario Oficial de la Federación (SIDOF API), operated by the Secretaría de Gobernación

What it is used for: the USD exchange rate, UDIS and TIIE values, and the INEGI notices with the monthly INPC and the yearly UMA.
What is sent: HTTP requests for an indicator code, a date or a date range. Like any web request, it includes your server’s IP address, and the user agent Stedica-MexKPI/1.0.5 (WordPress plugin; +https://wordpress.org/plugins/stedica-mexkpi/). Nothing about your site or its users is sent.
When: only after an administrator allows the connection. Then: right away for a first sync, in short background runs to load the history since 1995, twice a day (WP-Cron, 05:20 and 17:20 UTC), and when an administrator presses “Sync now”.
Service: https://sidof.segob.gob.mx/datos_abiertos
Legal notice (terms of use): https://sidof.segob.gob.mx/avisoLegal
Privacy notice: https://www.gob.mx/privacidadintegral

Banco de México, Sistema de Información Económica (SIE API)

What it is used for: the euro exchange rate, Cetes, the S&P/BMV IPC and GDP. It is only used after an administrator saves a Banxico token in Stedica MexKPI Settings.
What is sent: HTTP requests for series identifiers and a date range, with your free Banxico token in the Bmx-Token header. Like any web request, it includes your server’s IP address and the same user agent as above.
When: only after an administrator has both allowed the connection and saved a token. Then: when the token is saved (to check it and load the history), twice a day with the regular sync, and when an administrator presses “Sync now”.
You request your own token from Banco de México and accept its terms: https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/token
Service: https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/
Terms of use: https://www.banxico.org.mx/footer-es/salvedad-politicas-uso-banco-.html
Privacy notice: https://transparencia.banxico.org.mx/proteccion-datos-personales.html

The charts and year selector on your pages load data from your own site’s REST API (/wp-json/mexkpi/v1/), not from these services.

Installation

Install and activate the plugin from Plugins Add New, or upload the stedica-mexkpi folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
On activation the plugin creates a page called “Indicators” with the [mexkpi_hub] shortcode and loads the history bundled with it. It contacts no external service yet.
Go to Stedica MexKPI Status & Data, read how the plugin uses the official data sources, and press “Allow connection and start updates”. The first values arrive within minutes and the rest of the history loads in the background.
Optional: to show the euro, Cetes, IPC and GDP, request a free token from Banco de México and save it in Stedica MexKPI Settings.
Optional: create a page for each indicator with [mexkpi id="…"] (or run wp mexkpi pages). The hub cards link to them automatically.
Choose the indicators, their order, the columns and the width in Stedica MexKPI Settings.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?: From the official publications: Banco de México and INEGI figures published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación, Banco de México’s Sistema de Información Económica, CONASAMI resolutions for the minimum wage, and the Ley de Ingresos de la Federación and the Código Fiscal de la Federación for the surcharge rates. Each page names its source and links to it.
Does the plugin connect to anything when I activate it?: No. Activation only creates the data table, loads the bundled history and creates the “Indicators” page. The plugin contacts the Diario Oficial de la Federación and Banco de México only after an administrator allows it in Stedica MexKPI Status & Data, and you can stop it there at any time. See External services for what is sent.
How often is it updated?: Twice a day, automatically, once you allow the connection. The INPC is added when INEGI publishes it in the DOF (around the 10th of each month) and the UMA in January. The minimum wage and the surcharge rates change once a year: enter them in Stedica MexKPI Status & Data, and the plugin emails the site administrator a reminder from December 10 until they are entered.
Do I need a Banxico token?: Only for the euro exchange rate, Cetes, the S&P/BMV IPC and GDP. The other eight indicators work without one. The token is free; request it at https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/token.
Does it work with my theme or page builder?: Yes. Use the shortcodes in a Shortcode block, a text widget or your builder’s shortcode element. The plugin was tested with Twenty Twenty-Five, Twenty Twenty-One, Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence and Hello Elementor with Elementor.
My theme already shows the page title. Can I hide the plugin’s title section?: Yes: [mexkpi id="inpc" hero="0"].
Can I choose which indicators appear and in what order?: Yes, in Stedica MexKPI Settings. Hidden indicators keep updating, so you can show them again at any time.
Can I change the colors?: Yes, in Stedica MexKPI Settings Colors: twelve color pickers (title section, main color, accent, text, cards, borders and more) with a live preview. Developers can also set the CSS custom properties on the .mexkpi element, such as --mexkpi-primary.
Is there a paid version?: No. Stedica MexKPI is completely free.
Does it track visitors or set cookies?: No. The plugin stores no information about visitors and sets no cookies.
What happens when I delete the plugin?: Its data table, settings and scheduled tasks are removed. Pages you created, including the “Indicators” page, stay.
Is there a public API?: Yes, read-only: /wp-json/mexkpi/v1/indicadores lists the latest value of every indicator, and /wp-json/mexkpi/v1/indicadores/{id}/datos?formato=json|csv returns its history.

Changelog

1.0.5

Fixed a false “no new data” warning for GDP: a quarter’s figure now counts as late only after INEGI’s usual publication delay.
The late-data warning names the month or quarter of the latest value instead of its first day.

1.0.4

The euro now reads “Euro exchange rate” (“Tipo de cambio Euro” in Spanish) on its card and in the sentence above the cards.

The footer link in the admin screens points to Stedica’s wordpress.org profile.

1.0.2

The Author URI now points to Stedica’s wordpress.org profile.

Works on servers without the mbstring PHP extension.
Fixed PHP 8.4 deprecation notices in the CSV import and download.
