U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data

The U.S. Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service manages the government's finances including collecting revenue, paying federal bills, managing federal debt, and producing the nation's financial accounts. Their Fiscal Data API provides free, open access to federal financial data through a standardized RESTful API covering 80+ datasets. Key datasets include the Debt to the Penny (daily public debt outstanding), Treasury Reporting Rates of Exchange (quarterly foreign currency rates), Average Interest Rates on U.S. Treasury Securities, Daily Treasury Statements, Monthly Treasury Statements, and U.S. savings bond data. No authentication required.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data the way a machine reads it — 69 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data scores 52.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 39/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 4

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data Exchange Rates API

Treasury reporting rates of exchange for foreign currencies.

U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data National Debt API

Federal debt, public debt outstanding, and interest rate data.

U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data Securities API

Treasury securities, savings bonds, and investment data.

U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data Treasury Statements API

Daily and monthly Treasury financial statements.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Features 6

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

No Authentication Required

All Treasury Fiscal Data API endpoints are publicly accessible without API keys or registration, enabling immediate programmatic access.

Flexible Field Selection

Use the fields parameter to request only the specific data fields needed, reducing response payload size and improving performance.

Advanced Filtering

Filter datasets using field:operator:value syntax supporting equality, range, and set membership operators across any field in the dataset.

Pagination Support

All endpoints support page[number] and page[size] pagination with metadata indicating total record count and total pages available.

Multiple Output Formats

API responses available in JSON, XML, and CSV formats suitable for programmatic consumption, data warehousing, and spreadsheet analysis.

Comprehensive Coverage

80+ datasets covering all major Bureau of the Fiscal Service financial reports from the Debt to the Penny to Monthly Treasury Statements.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 14

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
