Python client for ausdata.io

The ausdata.io API is plain JSON over HTTPS with a single bearer header. Any Python HTTP client works. The 8-line client below is what every Python user writes on day one, copy it and skip the boilerplate.

No pip package yet. The snippet above is the canonical client.

Install

Shell

pip install httpx

Canonical client

Python

import os, httpx

class AusData:
    def __init__(self, key: str | None = None):
        self.key = key or os.environ["AUSDATA_KEY"]
        self.base = "https://api.ausdata.io"

    def get(self, path: str, **params):
        r = httpx.get(f"{self.base}{path}",
                      headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {self.key}"},
                      params=params, timeout=20)
        r.raise_for_status()
        return r.json()

Use it

Python

client = AusData()
snapshot = client.get("/v1/economic-dashboard")
print(snapshot["data"]["cash_rate"])

Notes

.Set AUSDATA_KEY in your environment. Never commit a key.
.httpx supports async if you switch to AsyncClient with the same headers.
.Responses are JSON with a top-level data key and a sources array.
