Overview

The Interest Rates Snapshot API lets you pull the latest published interest rate data for all major central banks in the world. We source our data directly from global central banks like the Federal Reserve, People’s Bank of China, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and other major monetary authorities. The real-time interest rate data comes from official monetary policy announcements. 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.

​
Available Central Banks

You can fetch a list of available central banks with a GET request to: https://api.financialdatasets.ai/macro/interest-rates/banks/

Getting Started

There are only 2 steps for making a successful API call:
