How this service works
Authoritative Asian government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for India (in), Japan (jp), South Korea (kr), Philippines (ph), Singapore (sg). 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 numeric or structured reference value, its unit, the country and series identifiers, an effective_from date, a last_confirmed date, a stale boolean flag, a source object with the official document name and URL, human-readable notes explaining context or recent changes, and a disclaimer noting the service is independent of government.
Example use cases
Policy rate check for investment model
“What is the current central bank policy rate for Japan? I need the exact value, the date it took effect, and a link to the official source so I can plug it into my interest rate model.”
VAT compliance for e-commerce checkout
“What is the current VAT rate in Singapore? I need the authoritative figure with its official government citation so I can make sure our checkout system is charging the right tax.”
Payroll compliance minimum wage check
“What is the current national minimum wage in the Philippines? Give me the value, the effective date, and the official source so our payroll team can confirm we're compliant.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://asiaref.dev/v1/%7Bcountry%7D/%7Bseries%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single, authoritative, cited reference value for a specific Asian country's policy rate, VAT rate, minimum wage, or public holidays — especially when you need traceability to official government or central bank primary sources. Prefer this over general web search when accuracy, citation integrity, and a machine-readable staleness flag matter (e.g. compliance workflows, financial models, or regulatory reporting). It covers only IN, JP, KR, PH, and SG; use other sources for other countries.
Side effects
- Invalid country code returns an error (supported: in, jp, kr, ph, sg)
- Invalid series name returns an error (supported: policy-rate, vat-rate, minimum-wage, public-holidays)
- stale flag set to true when the value has not been reconfirmed recently against the primary source
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not provided
- Upstream source unavailable may delay last_confirmed refresh
