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 historical time series for the requested country/series combination, including each historical value with its unit, effective_from date, last_confirmed date, staleness flag, structured source citation (name and URL to official government or central bank document), country code, series name, notes with context, and a disclaimer about independent-service status.
Example use cases

“I need the complete history of Japan's central bank policy rate with official citations for each change — can you fetch that from asiaref?”

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://asiaref.dev/v1/%7Bcountry%7D/%7Bseries%7D/historyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, cited historical time-series data for Asian government reference values (policy rates, VAT, minimum wages, public holidays) across India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, or Singapore, especially when provenance and official source citations are required. Prefer over scraping government websites directly when you need clean JSON with staleness indicators and structured citations for audit or compliance purposes.
Side effects
- Invalid country code returns an error (only in, jp, kr, ph, sg are supported)
- Invalid series name returns an error (only policy-rate, vat-rate, minimum-wage, public-holidays are supported)
- Stale flag set to true if the value has not been recently reconfirmed against the official source
- Payment of 0.001 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; missing or failed payment returns HTTP 402
- Network timeout if asiaref.dev is temporarily unavailable
