FiscalData Treasury API
Making federal financial data easy to access
This API is best for accessing and exploring US Treasury-specific financial data.
This API is valuable for a software developer because it provides one central location for accessing structured Federal financial data such as account balances, tax data, and payments. The API enables developers to quickly integrate financial data into their applications, or create visualizations for the data using the built-in analytics tools. Developers are also able to access unstructured data via the API.
Key features
- RESTful API with access to structured and unstructured financial data. Documentation on integrating data into analytics and creating visualizations.
Potential use cases
- Bill tracker: Create an app that accesses and aggregates US Treasury-specific financial data to give users an easy-to-track look at their finances.
- Tax estimation calculator: Craft an estimator tool that predicts user's tax liability based on Treasury-provided financial data.
- Visualize spending data: Create a compelling visualization that shows spending patterns over time using the unstructured data from the API.
The FiscalData Treasury API provides an astounding array of financial data that I was able to use in my app with ease. Its API documentation is easy to understand and I was able to integrate it into my project quickly and seamlessly. Thanks so much for this API!
