# Swippee Data API

> Read-only access to Nepal's public-sector financial data — forex, interest rates, payments, macro — sourced from Nepal Rastra Bank with attribution.

Read-only access to Nepal's public-sector financial data, parsed from Nepal
Rastra Bank's releases. These endpoints **require your API key** and count
against your monthly Data API quota (500 on Sandbox, 2,500 on Growth, 5,000 on
Scale).

Every response is wrapped in a `{ data, meta }` envelope — `meta` carries the
source, publication date, and an attribution string you must surface when
republishing.
