The U.S. Department of Treasury’s Fiscal Data API. Daily Treasury cash, public debt outstanding, federal receipts and outlays, customs revenue, exchange rates, and savings bonds redemption data. The actual numbers behind “the federal deficit” and “the national debt.” Free, no auth.

Why this matters for AI agents

For macro questions about the US fiscal stance — debt level, daily cash position, monthly receipts, customs revenue — Treasury Fiscal Data is the authoritative live source. Where FRED publishes monthly aggregates, Treasury publishes the underlying daily ledger.

Common flows:

• National debt. “What’s the public debt right now?” → treasury_debt → outstanding total broken into intragovernmental vs. public-held.
• Customs revenue. “How much tariff revenue did Treasury collect in 2024?” → treasury_customs_revenue({year: 2024}).
• Receipts / outlays. Daily Treasury cash position (deposits vs. withdrawals) by source.
• Exchange rates. Treasury reporting rate for foreign-currency transactions (used by federal contractors and grant recipients).

Used by the trade_bilateral_analysis compound for tariff context.

Auth

None. Treasury Fiscal Data is fully public, free, no key.

Datasets worth knowing

Update cadence

• Daily Treasury Statement: ~3 PM Eastern, T+1 (next business day)
• Monthly statements: ~mid-month, for prior month
• Public debt: daily
• Exchange rates: quarterly (recalibrated; not real-time market rates — use FX/forex packs for live rates)

Pipeworx caches with TTLs matching these.

Common pitfalls

• Public debt vs. gross debt. “Public-held debt” excludes intragovernmental holdings (Social Security trust fund, etc.). Headlines usually quote the gross debt; analysts care about public-held. Both are in the data.
• Customs revenue ≠ tariffs only. Includes anti-dumping, countervailing duties, fees. For pure tariff revenue, filter by item code in the call response.
• Treasury exchange rates aren’t market rates. They’re quarterly-recalibrated rates used for federal accounting. For real-time FX, use the dedicated exchange-rate or frankfurter packs.
• Daily cash position is not GDP. The Treasury’s cash position is a stock measure; GDP is a flow. Don’t confuse.
• Fiscal year vs. calendar year. Federal fiscal year is October 1 – September 30. Receipts and outlays default to fiscal-year reporting. Filter explicitly if you need calendar-year numbers.
