Endpoint
GEThttps://zaref.dev/v1/cpi?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the official, cited South African headline consumer inflation (CPI) figure with a freshness flag and source URL — especially when building financial tools, cost-of-living calculators, or compliance workflows that require authoritative Stats SA data with minimal setup.
Side effects
- Stats SA data not yet updated for the current month — freshness flag will indicate stale data
- Network or upstream availability issues returning 5xx errors
- x402 payment not completed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required before data is served
