A3.8/5.0

Scored across 14 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clear source or function boundaries (ABS, RBA, APRA, derived series, curated concepts, discovery). However, get_derived_series and get_economic_series both retrieve time-series data and could be confused; list_catalogue and search_datasets also overlap in discovery. The descriptions help, but these pairs require careful reading.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent lowercase verb_noun pattern with underscores (describe_, get_, list_, search_). Verbs are used predictably: get for retrieval, list for enumeration, search for discovery. No mixed conventions or camelCase.

Tool Count4/5

14 tools is on the higher end but appropriate for a multi-source economic data API covering ABS, RBA, and APRA. The inclusion of a deprecated alias (list_rba_tables) adds slight redundancy, but the overall count is justified by distinct operations.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers discovery (search_datasets, list_catalogue), metadata (describe_dataset, structure), retrieval (source-specific and curated), and convenience wrappers (latest/top observations). Minor gaps include lack of a unified structure tool for RBA/APRA and no bulk download option, but core read-only workflows are well covered.

Available Tools

14 tools
describe_datasetDescribe DatasetA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Describe a source-native ABS, RBA, or APRA dataset without hiding native IDs.

Inputs: source (required), identifier (required), table_id, include_structure. Returns: Plain-English dataset description preserving source-native identifiers.

get_abs_dataGet ABS DataB
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Expert/source-native ABS SDMX retrieval in a normalised response shape.

Inputs: dataflow_id (required), key, last_n, end_period, +3 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_abs_dataset_structureGet ABS Dataset StructureA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get ABS SDMX dataset dimensions and codelists.

Inputs: dataflow_id (required). Returns: ABS SDMX dataset structure with dimensions and codelists.

get_apra_dataGet APRA DataA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Expert/source-native APRA public XLSX publication retrieval.

Only curated official APRA publication IDs are accepted; arbitrary URLs are not.

Inputs: publication_id (required), last_n, end_date, table_id, +3 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_derived_seriesGet Derived SeriesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Read-only retrieval for the narrow transparent derived series layer.

Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN, YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and are normalised to the derived series frequency.

Inputs: concept (required), end, start, last_n. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_economic_seriesGet Economic SeriesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Preferred analyst-facing retrieval tool for curated ABS/RBA economic concepts.

Use list_economic_concepts for discovery. Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN, YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and are normalised to the resolved source.

Inputs: concept (required), end, start, last_n, +4 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_latest_observationsGet Latest ObservationsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Source-aware convenience wrapper for the latest observations.

For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of returning every series it contains.

Inputs: source (required), identifier (required), key, count, +2 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_rba_tableGet RBA TableB
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Expert/source-native RBA statistical table retrieval in a normalised response shape.

Inputs: table_id (required), last_n, end_date, series_ids, +2 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

get_top_observationsGet Top ObservationsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Source-aware convenience wrapper for highest or lowest numeric observations.

For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of returning every series it contains.

Inputs: source (required), identifier (required), n, key, +7 more. Returns: Normalised retrieval response returned by ABS, RBA, APRA, semantic, and derived…

list_catalogueList CatalogueA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List curated ABS, RBA, and APRA catalogue entries, optionally filtered by source, category, or tag. Unranked complement to search_datasets.

Inputs: tag, source, category, include_ceased, +1 more. Returns: Curated ABS, RBA, and APRA catalogue entries.

list_economic_conceptsList Economic ConceptsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List analyst-friendly semantic economic concepts accepted by get_economic_series.

Inputs: query, source, category. Returns: Curated semantic economic concepts.

list_rba_tablesList RBA TablesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Deprecated compatibility alias. Prefer list_catalogue(source="rba").

Inputs: category, include_discontinued. Returns: Curated RBA table catalogue entries.

list_release_eventsList Release EventsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List source-aware release calendar or release-pulse events.

Inputs: limit, query, source, end_date, +1 more. Returns: ABS, RBA, and APRA release calendar events.

search_datasetsSearch DatasetsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search curated ABS, RBA, and APRA economic datasets.

Inputs: query (required), source. Returns: Ranked ABS, RBA, and APRA catalogue search results.
