GET
Interest Rates (Snapshot)

Overview

The Interest Rates Snapshot API returns the newest published policy rate of each of the 10 central banks we cover, with the date it is in effect. Pass bank to get one bank only. We source our data from authoritative sources that compile each central bank’s official policy rate. The daily series is published once a week, so the newest day is typically two to nine days behind the calendar. For the Federal Reserve the rate is the midpoint of the target range (for example 3.875 for a 3.75 to 4.00 percent range). To get started, please create an account and grab your API key at financialdatasets.ai. You will use the API key to authenticate your API requests.
