release_calendar
Fetch upcoming RBA publication schedule for data releases, statements, and events. Returns a chronological feed with release dates, titles, and event types.
Instructions
Upcoming RBA publication schedule (data + statements + events).
Scrapes https://www.rba.gov.au/schedules-events/ and merges the two
schedule tables into a single chronological feed. Each entry reports
release_at (Sydney local with UTC offset), title, event_type,
dataset_id (curated F-table key when the release refreshes one,
else null), publication_id, and source_url.
Event types:
- data_release — regular statistical publication (Financial
Aggregates, Retail Payments, Index of Commodity Prices, etc.)
- statement — narrative release (Statement on Monetary Policy,
Minutes of Monetary Policy Meeting, Financial Stability Review,
Bulletin, Chart Pack)
- policy_decision — cash-rate decisions are NOT exposed here;
they appear on a separate RBA page. The Statement on Monetary
Policy and Minutes that follow ~24h and ~2 weeks later DO
appear, tagged as statement.
Returns the same envelope shape as abs-mcp.release_calendar so a
gateway poller can dispatch both feeds through the same code path.
Cached at 24h TTL with stale-fallback on 5xx (per portfolio graceful-degradation policy). The gateway should poll on its own schedule rather than hitting the live HTML.
Examples: cal = await release_calendar(7) for r in cal.releases: print(r.release_at, r.event_type, r.title, r.publication_id)
cal = await release_calendar(60)
statements = [r for r in cal.releases if r.event_type == "statement"]Input Schema
