RBA Statistical Tables alternative
The Reserve Bank of Australia publishes its statistical tables as CSV and XLS downloads, refreshed manually after each release. Every Australian macro analyst has a Python script that scrapes them.
What RBA Statistical Tables does well
- Authoritative. F1.1 is the cash rate of record.
- Free. No login.
- Long historical depth, back to 1959 for some series.
Where ausdata.io fits better
- We parse the CSV exports and serve normalised JSON, with the column conventions tracked across releases.
- Joins to ABS and APRA in one call.
- Our /v1/economic-dashboard composes RBA cash rate with ABS CPI in a single response.
How to choose
- Pick RBA Statistical Tables if
- You need only the cash rate, you write it to a database once a month, and your scrapers work.
- Pick ausdata.io if
- You want cash rate plus CPI plus unemployment in one call, with one auth header.
- Pricing
- RBA tables: free. ausdata.io: free up to 500 calls, then $39.
