RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) as a JSON API
The RBA sets the cash rate and publishes the headline statistical tables for monetary policy. ausdata.io exposes the cash rate target (with a derived real cash rate), AUD exchange rates from the F11 table, and household debt-to-income ratios as JSON. Skip the RBA CSV and XLS downloads and pull the same numbers with one bearer token.
