How this service works
Côte d'Ivoire: CPI inflation (year-on-year) — gazette-cited JSON with last_confirmed and stale.
Output
A JSON array of historical data points for the requested country and series, each entry containing the reference value (e.g. rate percentage, monetary amount, or holiday list), the effective date, gazette or statutory citation, a last_confirmed timestamp, and a stale boolean flag indicating whether the entry may be out of date.
Example use cases
Tracking VAT rate changes over time
“Get me the complete history of Nigeria's VAT rate — I want every recorded change with the gazette citations and when each value was last confirmed.”
Minimum wage compliance audit
“Pull the historical minimum wage series for South Africa so I can see how the statutory minimum has changed each year and check if our pay records kept up.”
Central bank policy rate trend analysis
“Fetch the full historical policy rate time-series for Ghana so I can chart how their central bank rate has moved and spot any gaps or stale data.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://afriref.dev/v1/:country/:series/history?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the full longitudinal record of a government reference series for a specific African country — not just the current value. It is ideal for trend analysis, compliance audits, historical modelling, or verifying how a regulatory figure has changed over time. Prefer this over the snapshot endpoint when time-series context matters.
Side effects

- Country/series combination with no historical data returns empty array
- Network or payment (x402) failure returns 402 or 5xx
- Stale data returned without error when gazette source hasn't been re-confirmed
