China’s PBOC Loan Prime Rate (贷款市场报价利率, LPR), National Bureau of Statistics headline indicators, 70-city house prices, SHIBOR and the government-bond yield curve — all keyless, sourced live.

Tools

• china_lpr({ months? }) — up to the last 12 monthly LPR announcements (1-year and 5-year rate, plus reference date), newest first, and a latest field. The upstream only exposes a rolling ~1-year window — months caps at 12.
• china_lpr_latest() — the current 1-year/5-year LPR print and its reference date only, without the history. Cheaper when a caller just wants “the current rate”.
• china_macro_indicator({ indicator, periods? }) — one tool across nine headline indicators: cpi, ppi, pmi (manufacturing + non-manufacturing), gdp (year-to-date cumulative, by sector), industrial_production (industrial value-added growth), retail_sales, fixed_asset_investment, money_supply (M0/M1/M2), and trade (monthly export/import totals). Returns the latest period first, then up to periods (default 12, max 36) months/quarters of history — every field translated from its Chinese NBS name to an English name with its unit.
• china_house_prices({ city?, month? }) — the 70-city new-build and resale residential price indexes. city (English name) for one city’s history (up to 24 months); month (“YYYY-MM”) to pin a release; neither for the latest month’s full 70-city cross-section.
• china_rates({ series, days?, periods? }) — series: "shibor" for the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate across all 8 tenors (latest fixing + daily history); series: "yield_curve" for the China Government Bond yield curve (dated 1-year/10-year benchmark history plus the full real-time quoted curve across all actively-traded maturities).

Auth

Keyless. No cookie or session — the LPR/SHIBOR/rates tools send a same-site Referer header; the macro-indicator and house-price tools send only a User-Agent and Referer.

Data sources

• National Interbank Funding Center, under PBOC authorization — the Loan Prime Rate (china_lpr, china_lpr_latest).
• National Bureau of Statistics of China — CPI, PPI, PMI, GDP, industrial value-added growth, retail sales, fixed-asset investment, money supply, and the 70-city residential price index (china_macro_indicator, china_house_prices).
• General Administration of Customs of China — monthly export/import totals (china_macro_indicator({ indicator: "trade" })).
• China Foreign Exchange Trade System / National Interbank Funding Center — the SHIBOR fixing and China Government Bond yields (china_rates).

The LPR endpoints are the JSON calls chinamoney.com.cn’s own chart widget makes, found via a browser network tab (fleet #1311) — the guessed export path (LprHisExcel) 200s with an empty body and is not usable. The LPR history call ignores date-range query parameters and always returns the same rolling ~12-row window ending at the latest announcement; there is no deeper history available through it. LPR is announced monthly on the 20th (or the next business day) — expect china_lpr_latest’s reference_date to move roughly once a month.

The NBS/Customs indicators and the 70-city house-price index are served by the same republisher the broader China-equities catalog already calls live (fleet #3298) — the host is shared with china-stocks’s billboard/earnings reports, confirmed reachable from Cloudflare’s edge since 2026-07-17. The SHIBOR history call and the government-bond yield curve calls are found the same way the LPR ones were, on chinamoney.com.cn’s own SHIBOR and bond-yield pages; the real-time yield curve defaults to Treasury bonds. The 1-year/10-year benchmark series is the daily update chinamoney publishes under the IMF’s Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS); it only exposes a page at a time (capped at 60 rows per call here) — request periods close to what you need rather than the daily maximum.
