Tools

• check_minimum_wage

  PAID ($0.05). Compliance verdict: is a salary at, above or below the country's statutory minimum wage? Returns verdict, margin, the statutory floor and the legal instrument it rests on. Honest statuses when no enforceable floor exists or the period doesn't match the floor's period (cross-period conversion is never guessed). Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• compute_income_tax

  PAID ($0.05). Statutory income tax on a TAXABLE-income figure using the country's verified marginal bracket schedule, with full per-bracket workings, effective rate and marginal rate. Handles inflation-indexed tax units (Colombia UVT, Chile UTA, Peru UIT, Uruguay BPC) — you pass local currency. IMPORTANT: this is tax on taxable income, NOT net take-home pay — reliefs/allowances and social-security contributions are the caller's concern and are not applied (see the response scope_note). Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• compute_payroll

  PAID ($0.10). Gross-to-net take-home pay for Nigeria or Kenya: applies PAYE (on the verified brackets) plus the statutory employee deductions (Nigeria: pension/NHF/NHIS; Kenya: NSSF/SHIF/Affordable Housing Levy) and reliefs, returning net pay with full workings, per-contribution citations and DISCLOSED assumptions. Nigeria's pension base needs pay composition — pass basic/housing/transport for an exact figure, or a market-convention 40/30/10 split is assumed and disclosed. Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• compute_vat

  PAID ($0.02). VAT breakdown for an amount: net, tax and gross using the country's current statutory rate, including per-levy components where the rate is composite (e.g. Ghana VAT + NHIL + GETFund). mode=add treats the amount as net; mode=extract backs VAT out of a gross amount. Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• count_working_days

  PAID ($0.02). Working days in a date range for a country: weekends (Egypt's Fri–Sat handled) and statutory public holidays applied, with the holidays hit by name and the next working day after the range. Range max 366 days. Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• get_public_holidays

  FREE. Official public-holiday calendar for a supported country, including gazetted movable holidays, with the official government source cited. Some countries also carry sub-national calendars (e.g. the German Laender): the `subdivisions` field lists them, and passing `subdivision` (ISO 3166-2, e.g. 'DE-BY') returns the national calendar merged with that region's statutory days.

  shallow
• get_series

  PAID ($0.005). Current value of a reference series — e.g. series=policy-rate, vat, minimum-wage. Every value carries its official source citation, effective date, last-confirmed date and staleness flag. Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• get_series_history

  PAID ($0.005). Historical values of a reference series with effective date ranges, optionally filtered by from/to (YYYY-MM-DD). Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• get_snapshot

  PAID ($0.02). Snapshot of every series for every country in one call. Pass api_key if you have one; otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402.

  shallow
• list_series

  FREE. Catalog of all afriref reference-data series: supported countries, series ids, descriptions, freshness metadata and per-series URLs. Call this first to discover what data exists.

  shallow
• settlement_date

  PAID ($0.05). Settlement/value date: the date n business days after a trade date, computed on the INTERSECTION of the calendars you name, with a per-day trail showing every skipped day and why, on which calendar. Supply business_days for a cycle you are trading under, or market + instrument_class to have a settlement cycle applied that we cite to its primary source (e.g. US equities T+1 under 17 CFR 240.15c6-1(a); UK gilts T+1 by DMO convention, which is NOT the T+2 equity cycle; Japan equities T+2 but JGBs T+1). Calendars are NATIONAL statutory holiday calendars with researched statutory weekend rules (Israel Saturday-only, Gulf Friday+Saturday, India Sundays plus the 2nd and 4th Saturday), NOT CSD or exchange calendars — each response states the basis and any known divergence. Use 'eu.t2' for the euro cash leg. We refuse FREE rather than guess: beyond published calendar coverage, no cited cycle for the instrument (government bonds never inherit an equity cycle), a cycle not in force on the trade date, or FX spot value dates. Free companion: GET /settlement-conventions.
