rbnz-data

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) public statistics endpoints into usable, machine-readable datasets for AI workflows, without forcing you to reverse-engineer file URLs or chart payloads.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Discover official NZ datasets via data.govt.nz: Searches the Reserve Bank of New Zealand organization on the data.govt.nz CKAN catalogue to find dataset packages and resource URLs relevant to your question.
• Fetch browser-accessible RBNZ XLSX and chart data: Downloads verified public XLSX series (e.g., exchange rates and interest rate charts) and retrieves public chart-cache JSON used on the RBNZ Statistics pages.
• Preview and inspect without heavy tooling: Uses lightweight XLSX parsing to preview worksheet rows and returns small CKAN datastore previews for quick validation.
• Use Case: An agent needs to answer “What are the latest daily exchange rates and how do they trend?” by locating the correct RBNZ dataset resource, downloading the current XLSX series, and optionally previewing rows before analysis.

Quick Start

Use rbnz-data to search for an NZ interest-rate dataset, download the matching public XLSX series, and preview the first few rows by asking your agent: “Find the daily exchange-rates dataset, download the daily match, and preview the first 5 rows.”
