How this service works
Kenya: VAT standard rate — gazette-cited JSON with last_confirmed and stale.
Output
A JSON object containing the reference value for the requested series and country, accompanied by a citation (source name and URL), an archived-source SHA256 hash, an Ed25519 digital signature, and a verification chain — together constituting a cryptographically certified extract of official government data.
Example use cases
Compliance filing with verified tax rates
“I'm preparing a cross-border compliance report and need the certified corporate tax rate and withholding tax rate for Nigeria — with citations and cryptographic signatures so my auditors can verify the source.”
Fintech app policy rate display
“Can you pull the current central bank policy rate for South Africa, signed and cited, so I can display it in our app with a verifiable reference?”
Payroll system minimum wage check
“What is the certified minimum wage in Ghana right now? I need the Ed25519-signed value with an archived-source hash for our payroll compliance records.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://afriref.dev/v1/certified/:country/:series?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need not just a reference value but a cryptographically verifiable, citable extract — e.g. for compliance reporting, audit trails, legal documentation, or any context where the provenance and authenticity of African government reference data must be proven. Prefer it over raw or uncertified data sources when downstream consumers (auditors, regulators, counterparties) require a signed, archived record. The Ed25519 signature and SHA256 archival hash make it uniquely suited to trust-sensitive workflows.
