How it works
Open to try, keyed to build on
- Try it now, no key: the open API serves the latest 12 months of the same datasets, up to 100 rows a call, with a five-minute cache and attribution. For research, journalism, teaching and non-commercial apps.
- Pilot and licensed customers get a key: send it as
Authorization: Bearer afk_…for the full history and up to 5,000 rows a call. Keyed calls are served fresh, never from the shared cache, and counted per key so you get usage reports. Any commercial use, including internal use at a fund, bank or firm, needs a key. - Every figure has its source: each auction result links to the central bank’s own notice, and corrections are logged publicly.
- Also as files: CSV for every dataset; Excel, Google Sheets and SFTP delivery on the enterprise plan.
Example
Nigeria’s last ten 364-day auctions
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer afk_YOUR_KEY" \ "https://www.afronomicsfeed.com/api/v1/tbills/nigeria?tenor=364&limit=10"
Government bond auctions (Kenya, Zambia, Egypt, Nigeria, Uganda, Morocco and the eight WAEMU markets), by market and ISIN:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer afk_YOUR_KEY" \ "https://www.afronomicsfeed.com/api/v1/bonds/egypt?from=2015-01-01"
Leave out the header to call the open API: the latest 12 months, up to 100 rows, marked "truncated": true when a key would return more.
Terms
What is free, what needs a key, what is Enterprise
Free, no key
- Reading the site: every page, table and chart.
- Quoting and citing figures with the credit “Source: Afronomics” and a link.
- The JSON API and CSV downloads for the latest 12 months (by auction or settlement date), up to 100 rows a call.
- For research, journalism, teaching and non-commercial apps.
A key: pilot or paid licence
- Full history (rows older than 12 months), more than 100 rows a call, and bulk CSV beyond the free window.
- Any commercial use, including internal use at a fund, bank, insurer, DFI or other firm: analysis, models, committee papers and client work.
- Start with a free 30-day pilot key, then Analyst, Team and API, or the Startup licence for one product.
Enterprise only: redistribution
- Passing the data, or files and feeds built from it, to clients or other third parties, or reselling it.
- No other plan includes redistribution. Enterprise also covers several teams, custom delivery and a service agreement, from $5,000 a month.
Can a fund, bank or firm use the free API for its own internal analysis? No. Internal use at a fund, bank or firm is commercial use and needs a pilot key or a paid licence. The free tier is for research, journalism, teaching and non-commercial apps.
