🇸🇪 Riksbank SWEA Rates Scraper

🚀 Pull Swedish central bank rates in seconds. Get policy rates, reference rates, STIBOR fixings, government bond yields, and SEK exchange rates from the Riksbank SWEA API.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-08 · 📊 Up to 12 fields per record · 100+ series · latest value or full history

Turn the Riksbank's SWEA statistics feed into clean, structured records you can drop into a treasury report, an FX model, a macro dataset, or a research notebook. Pick one or more SWEA series, choose the latest value or a historical date range, and the Actor returns one tidy record per observation date with the series ID, its description, the date, and the value.

Coverage is the full SWEA catalog: the Riksbank policy rate and other central-bank rates, reference and discount rates, STIBOR fixings across tenors, Swedish treasury bills and government bonds, foreign benchmark yields, the TCW and KIX indices, and SEK cross rates against more than fifty currencies. Leave the series list empty to pull the whole catalog (capped by Max Items), or select exactly the series you need from the dropdown.

📋 What the Riksbank SWEA Rates Scraper does

This Actor calls the public Riksbank SWEA API. It first reads the series catalog, then for each selected series it pulls either the latest observation or a date range of history, and returns one clean record per observation:

• Central-bank rates — policy rate, deposit, lending, marginal, reference, and discount rates.
• Market rates — STIBOR fixings (1 week to 12 months), treasury bills, government bonds, and mortgage bonds.
• Foreign benchmarks — 5- and 10-year government bond yields for several countries.
• SEK cross rates and indices — SEK against 50+ currencies, plus the TCW and KIX indices.

Each record carries the series ID, short/mid/long descriptions, the observation date and value, the group ID, the source, and the series' available date range. Every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
seriesIds	array	One or more SWEA series, chosen from a dropdown of 100+ ids (e.g. SECBREPOEFF policy rate, SEDP3MSTIBORDELAYC STIBOR 3 Months, SEGVB10YC SE 10-year bond, SEKUSDPMI SEK/USD). Leave empty to pull every series in the catalog (capped by Max Items).
latestOnly	boolean	When on, only the most recent observation per series is collected. Turn off to pull a date range. Defaults to true.
fromDate	string	Start date for history, YYYY-MM-DD. Used only when latestOnly is off. Leave empty to start from each series' first available date.
toDate	string	End date for history, YYYY-MM-DD. Used only when latestOnly is off. Defaults to today.
maxItems	integer	How many records to return. Free plan is capped at 10.

Example 1 — latest value for a few key series

{
    "seriesIds": ["SECBREPOEFF", "SEDP3MSTIBORDELAYC", "SEGVB10YC", "SEKUSDPMI"],
    "latestOnly": true,
    "maxItems": 10
}

Example 2 — one year of policy-rate history

{
    "seriesIds": ["SECBREPOEFF"],
    "latestOnly": false,
    "fromDate": "2024-01-01",
    "toDate": "2024-12-31",
    "maxItems": 10
}

⚠️ Good to Know: with latestOnly on, you get one record per series; with it off, you get one record per observation date per series, so a long range across many series can produce a lot of rows (use maxItems to cap them). The SWEA API enforces a per-second rate limit; the Actor paces requests and retries automatically, so large pulls just take a little longer.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Riksbank account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public Riksbank SWEA API, which needs no login.

Which series can I pull? Over a hundred, including the policy rate, deposit/lending/reference rates, STIBOR fixings, treasury bills, government and mortgage bonds, foreign benchmark yields, the TCW and KIX indices, and SEK cross rates against 50+ currencies. Choose them from the dropdown.

What if I leave the series list empty? The Actor pulls every series in the catalog, capped by maxItems.

Latest value or history? Keep latestOnly on for the most recent observation per series, or turn it off and set fromDate/toDate for a historical range.

What does each record contain? The series ID and descriptions, the observation date and value, the group ID, the source, and the series' available date range.

Why might a run take a while? The SWEA API rate-limits requests. The Actor paces and retries automatically, so larger pulls simply take longer rather than failing.

Are SEK exchange rates included? Yes. The SEK***PMI series carry SEK cross rates against many currencies, plus SDR and the KIX index.

What does seriesClosed mean? Whether the Riksbank has stopped publishing that series. It is true for discontinued series.

How fresh is the data? Each run reads live from the Riksbank, so it reflects the latest published observations.

Can I schedule this? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to pull rates on any cadence.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Results are available through the Apify API, so you can pull them into any app, database, or workflow you already run.
