How this service works
Authoritative European government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Germany (de), France (fr). 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. Each entry includes the numeric value (with unit), effective date, last-confirmed date, a staleness boolean, the series identifier, country code, an official primary-source citation (name and URL), and explanatory notes where applicable. A disclaimer about independence from government is also included.
Example use cases
ECB rate history for financial model
“Pull the historical policy-rate series for Germany (country code 'de') from euroref — I need every value with its effective date and the official ECB source citation so I can update my interest-rate model.”
France VAT rate compliance check
“Look up the current VAT rate for France on euroref, including the effective date and whether the value is stale, so I can verify our invoicing system is using the right rate.”
German minimum wage timeline
“Fetch the minimum-wage history for Germany from euroref — I want all historical entries with their effective dates and the official government gazette citations.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://euroref.dev/v1/%7Bcountry%7D/%7Bseries%7D/historyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, citeable European government reference values (ECB rates, VAT, minimum wages, public holidays) for Germany or France, especially when you require an official primary-source citation, an effective date, and a staleness indicator. Prefer it over general web search or LLM knowledge when regulatory compliance, auditability, or up-to-date accuracy is required. It is not suitable for countries beyond Germany and France, or for non-reference data such as GDP, CPI, or market prices.
Side effects
- Unsupported country code returns a 404 or error response
- Unsupported series identifier returns a 404 or error response
- Data may be stale if the official source has not been re-confirmed recently (staleness flag will be true)
- Response may be truncated or incomplete if the upstream official source is inaccessible
- Payment required (HTTP 402) if x402 payment header is not provided

"notes": "STRUCTURAL NOTE: Germany has NO national policy rate. The Deutsche Bundesbank has had no independent monetary-policy competence since 1 January 1999; monetary policy for the euro area is set by the ECB Governing Council under Art. 127-133 TFEU and the ESCB/ECB Statute. The value served is the euro-area-wide ECB deposit facility rate (DFR), which applies identically in all 20 euro-area members, not a German-specific rate. On 11 June 2026 the Governing Council raised all three key rates by 25 basis points with effect from 17 June 2026: deposit facility 2.25%, main refinancing operations (MRO) 2.40%, marginal lending facility 2.65%. This was the first ECB increase since September 2023, reversing part of the eight cuts delivered between June 2024 and June 2025; the ECB cited energy-driven inflation pressure from the Middle East conflict. The DFR is served here because since the 18 March 2024 framework change the ECB steers short-term money-market rates through the DFR and narrowed the MRO-DFR spread to 15bp; the MRO rate (2.40%) remains the headline 'refinancing' rate cited by some sources. No Governing Council monetary-policy meeting fell between 17 June 2026 and the last_confirmed date, so 2.25% is still in force. Note separately that the German statutory Basiszinssatz under Section 247 BGB, published semi-annually by the Bundesbank and used for default interest, is a distinct national figure and is NOT a monetary policy rate.
