## Pricing

from $0.45 / 1,000 yield curves

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## China Bond Yield Curves: Government, Policy Bank & Credit

Get **China's official closing bond yield curves** as clean JSON, straight from the **China Foreign Exchange Trade System (中国外汇交易中心, CFETS, chinamoney.com.cn)**, the PBOC's interbank market platform. No login, no Chinese needed.

- **75 curves**: China government bonds (CGB), PBOC bills, policy bank bonds (China Development Bank, Export-Import Bank, Agricultural Development Bank), local government bonds, interbank NCDs, short and medium-term notes, enterprise bonds, commercial bank bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds, ABS and more, **by credit rating** from AAA+ to B
- **The whole curve**: yield to maturity, spot (zero-coupon) yield and forward yield, from 1 week up to 30 or 50 years
- **Key tenors as columns**: 3M, 6M, 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y, 7Y, 10Y, 15Y, 20Y, 30Y and 50Y, ready for a spreadsheet
- **English names** for every curve, plus the rating as its own field

### Use cases

- **Rates and macro research**: the 10-year CGB yield, curve slope and the term structure of China's bond market.
- **Credit analysis**: credit spreads by rating (AAA vs AA corporate notes, Tier 2 vs senior bank bonds, NCDs by rating).
- **Valuation and risk**: discount curves for CNY cash flows and fixed-income pricing models.
- **Dashboards**: schedule a daily run after 17:00 China time with **Only new days** on and build your own time series.

### Example input

Latest curves for all 75 curve types:

```json
{}
```

Government, China Development Bank and AAA note curves for the last month:

```json
{
  "curves": ["CYCC000", "CYCC021", "CYCC82B"],
  "dateFrom": "2026-10-01"
}
```

Curves can be given by code (CYCC000) or Chinese name (国债, 同业存单(AAA)). Common codes: CYCC000 government bonds, CYCC021 China Development Bank, CYCC84A local government (AAA), CYCC41B interbank NCDs (AAA), CYCC82B short and medium-term notes (AAA), CYCC862 bank Tier 2 capital bonds (AAA-).

### Output

```json
{
  "type": "yieldCurve",
  "date": "2026-10-29",
  "curve": "CYCC000",
  "curveName": "国债",
  "curveNameEnglish": "China government bonds",
  "rating": null,
  "y3M": 1.1534,
  "y1Y": 1.1643,
  "y2Y": 1.221,
  "y5Y": 1.328,
  "y10Y": 1.623,
  "y30Y": 2.047,
  "y50Y": 2.178,
  "yieldToMaturity": { "1M": 0.9886, "3M": 1.1534, "1Y": 1.1643, "10Y": 1.623, "...": "every tenor" },
  "spotYield": { "1M": 0.9886, "1Y": 1.1643, "10Y": 1.6396, "...": "every tenor" },
  "forwardYield": { "1Y": 1.2784, "10Y": 2.2597, "...": "every tenor" },
  "unit": "%"
}
```

- Yields are in percent, as CFETS publishes them, for each business day's close.
- `yieldToMaturity`, `spotYield` and `forwardYield` hold every tenor the curve has (1-year steps, plus 1W, 2W, 1M, 2M, 3M, 6M and 9M). Curves that stop at 15 years leave the longer key tenors empty.

### Pricing

**$0.001 per curve** (one curve type on one day, with all its tenors). These prices apply from 14 November 2026. The latest day for all 75 curves costs under $0.08; a month of the government curve about $0.02.

### Notes and limits

- **About one month of history.** CFETS only publishes the last month of curves, so this Actor returns the latest day or any range within that month. Schedule a daily run to keep a longer history.
- Official figures as published; this Actor does not calculate any yields.
- Only public data is collected.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
