# ausdata.io

ausdata.io is a single HTTP API and MCP server over nine Australian government data sources (ABS, RBA, ATO, APRA, AIHW, ASIC, AEMO, WGEA and BOM-aggregated weather). It serves canonical FRED-style series, raw passthrough datasets, charts and cross-source signals from one API key. A free key allows 500 calls a month; paid tiers raise that and add history, caching, webhooks and an SLA.
