Economic dashboard

A five-source macro snapshot in one call: cash rate, CPI, unemployment, wage growth, and consumer spending.

history mode RBAABS

What it answers

What is the current state of the Australian economy at a glance? This call returns the RBA cash rate alongside ABS inflation, unemployment, wage growth, and household spending, each tagged with its own reference period. It saves you from fetching and aligning five separate series before you can read the macro picture.

Call it

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key' \
  https://api.ausdata.io/v1/economic-dashboard

History mode

Add start_period and end_period to walk the series back through time instead of returning only the latest point.

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key' \
  'https://api.ausdata.io/v1/economic-dashboard?start_period=2015-Q1&end_period=2024-Q4'

Returns

Every response uses the same envelope, {data, meta, links}. The data field carries the answer (an object for a single snapshot, a list when there is one row per entity). The meta field carries the trust contract: the reference periods, retrieved_at, the per-source attribution you reproduce on publish, and the stale flag. The links field offers a csv alternative when one is available.

Draws from

This signal joins data from 2 sources. Each source page lists the underlying datasets and canonical series.

Cross-source signals join multiple sources into one response. Reliability: a signal returns current data or a clear 503; it never serves an older vintage as the current answer.
