How this service works
Authoritative Pan-African government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Côte d'Ivoire (ci), Egypt (eg), Ethiopia (et), Ghana (gh), Kenya (ke), Morocco (ma), Nigeria (ng), Rwanda (rw), Senegal (sn), Tanzania (tz), Uganda (ug). Every value carries a citation to its official primary source (government gazette or central-bank statement), an effective date, a last-confirmed date and a staleness flag.
Output
A JSON object containing the full historical series of the requested government reference value for the specified country, including: the numeric value with units, series identifier, country code, effective start date, last-confirmed date, a staleness boolean flag, human-readable notes, and a source object with the official URL and name (e.g. government gazette or central-bank communiqué). Also includes a disclaimer noting the service is independent and data should be verified against the cited official source.
Example use cases
Compliance check for African payroll
“I need to verify Ghana's current national minimum wage and see how it has changed over the past few years — can you get the full history with official citations so I can make sure our payroll is compliant?”
Macro research on African monetary policy
“Pull the complete history of Nigeria's central bank policy rate changes with their effective dates and source citations — I'm building a macroeconomic model and need authoritative data.”
Tax rate audit for cross-border business
“Get me the full historical VAT rate record for Morocco with official government sources and effective dates — I need to reconcile our past invoices against the legally correct rates at the time.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://afriref.dev/v1/%7Bcountry%7D/%7Bseries%7D/historyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the complete time-series history of a government reference value rather than just the latest figure, or when you need machine-readable official citations and effective dates for compliance, audit, or research purposes. Prefer this over web scraping or general search when you need structured, citable African government data with staleness tracking. Best for fintech, compliance, payroll, tax, and macroeconomic applications operating across the 11 supported African markets.
Side effects
- Unsupported country code returns an error — only ci, eg, et, gh, ke, ma, ng, rw, sn, tz, ug are supported
- Unsupported series name returns an error — only policy-rate, vat-rate, minimum-wage, public-holidays are valid
- Stale data flagged with stale:true when the underlying official source has not been re-confirmed recently
- BCEAO/UEMOA shared rates (applicable to ci and sn) may not reflect country-specific nuance and carry a shared-rate note
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient or wallet is not configured
- Rate limiting or 402 payment errors if the micropayment header is malformed
