Reserve Bank of Australia statistics — cash rate target, AUD exchange rates, and any of the 71 published statistical tables (interest rates, bond yields, CPI, monetary aggregates, and more), scraped keyless from RBA’s own CSV endpoints.

Tools

• rba_cash_rate(recent?) — the RBA’s official cash rate target (AU’s monetary-policy rate) plus recent monthly history.
• rba_exchange_rates(currency?, recent?) — latest AUD exchange rates against major currencies, or one pair’s recent history.
• rba_series(series?, table?, series_id?, recent?) — any RBA statistical series. Preferred usage: pass series as a NAME or description (e.g. "90-day bank bill rate", "3-year government bond yield") and it resolves the (table, series_id) pair by fuzzy-matching series titles/descriptions — the interest-rate and bond-yield tables (F1, F1.1, F2, F2.1, F16) are searched first, then the broader catalog if nothing scores there. Returns resolved_from/resolved_to on a clean resolution, or an error: "ambiguous" with candidates when the name doesn’t disambiguate on its own (never invents an id). Pass table + series_id directly for the legacy exact-id path.
• rba_list_series(query?, keyword?, table?) — discovery/directory tool. query searches series NAMES/descriptions directly (same engine rba_series uses to resolve names) and returns ranked (table, series_id) matches in one call. keyword searches table titles/categories instead and returns every series in the matched tables. table lists all series in one table. No arguments browses every table by category.

Auth

Keyless. RBA publishes every statistical table as CSV with no authentication or rate limit documented.

Data sources

• https://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/csv/<table>-data.csv — one CSV per table id (e.g. f1.1, f2.1, g1). Row layout is fixed: a title line, then labelled header rows (Title, Description, Frequency, Type, Units, Source, Publication date, Series ID), then data rows keyed by date. Columns 1..N are series, matched by position across the header rows.
• https://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/ — the index page RBA_TABLES in src/index.ts was scraped from (2026-08-28). No official endpoint lists every table + series in one call; regenerate that scrape if RBA adds/renames a table (rare).

Gotchas

• Dates use two formats across tables: DD/MM/YYYY (e.g. f1.1) and DD-Mon-YYYY (e.g. f11.1 exchange rates) — both normalized to YYYY-MM-DD by toIso().
• RBA republishes several series in both a daily and a monthly table with the same or near-identical name (e.g. “Cash Rate Target” in both f1 and f1.1; "EOD 3-month BABs/NCDs" in f1 vs "3-month BABs/NCDs" in f1.1). Name resolution collapses these via dedupeMatches() and prefers the monthly/interpolated table — otherwise every named query looks falsely ambiguous against its own daily twin.
• Day-count finance shorthand (“90-day”, “180-day”) doesn’t literally appear in RBA’s own series titles — RBA calls them “1/3/6-month BABs/NCDs”. expandDaySynonyms() converts common day counts (30/90/180/365) to their month equivalent before scoring, so “90-day bank bill rate” still finds FIRMMBAB90 (“3-month BABs/NCDs”).
