US Treasury Daily Debt Record Evidence API

Export selected official US Treasury Debt to the Penny observations over an inclusive1..31-day date window since1993. One public Fiscal Data API request, first page of31 rows sorted by record_date. Select only date, total public debt outstanding, debt held by the public and intragovernmental holdings. Preserve the original decimal strings to avoid float rounding; reported missing/null values remain null, never zero. No estimates for holidays or missing dates.

Pagination count/total/pages and next-link presence are checked and exposed; additional pages are never followed. Dates are unique and within the submitted window. Each emitted day is a billed observation even if a reported field is null. Cap truncation or more-page evidence makes complete=false. This is reported public fiscal data, not a debt projection, economic forecast, investment recommendation, solvency judgment or trading/transfer service. No ratios, adjusted series, debt calculations or account data. Source labels/formats are metadata, not independent accounting verification. The current API response schema was qualified directly; the documentation webpage was unavailable during preparation, and no blocked webpage was bypassed. API query/fields/pagination are bounded by this tested contract. Attribute the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data source.

Pricing and budget

0.0005 USD per emitted daily debt observation (0.5 USD per1000), plus0.005 USD startup at default256MB. Higher memory can multiply startup events; check effective Store pricing. Failed/empty sources do not emit result charges; startup can still apply. At zero result budget, input validation occurs but no upstream request is sent, and rowsAvailable is null (unknown). A positive budget can request the bounded source set before output; emission stops at the result cap and complete=false/PARTIAL_BUDGET reports truncation.

Snapshot, integration and limits

Use dataset rows together with OUTPUT and SNAPSHOT. Pass SNAPSHOT.previousHashes as previousHashes in a later run. NO_BASELINE/FIRST_SEEN/UNCHANGED/CHANGED compare only selected metadata including itemKey and sourceUrl; missing records are not deletions. FIRST_SEEN means absent from the supplied baseline. There is no persistent hidden state or automatic polling. Export JSON/CSV/Excel through the default dataset.

API example: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/soilair~us-treasury-daily-debt-record-evidence-api/runs with your Apify Authorization header and the JSON input above. Poll the returned run; read dataset items and OUTPUT/SNAPSHOT records using its store IDs. Do not place tokens or confidential data in input. No upstream key is needed. Results live in Apify run storage according to retention; no separate analytics service.

Only fixed HTTPS provider endpoints are constructed from validated identifiers. Public-IP DNS validation, pinned connections, TLS hostname verification,2MiB decoded responses, approximately95 seconds of network budget, at most5 same-provider redirects. Official API calls are distinct from website crawling; no arbitrary URLs or HTML pages. No linked documents/files are fetched. Queries are sequential with1-second spacing. Provider403/429 or Retry-After stops later calls; retry instructions are reported and no retry/proxy/circumvention is attempted. Shared IP limits and changes to upstream services can still block runs. Caller must respect provider headers and cache/reduce repeated requests. Text is data and should not be executed.

Developed with AI assistance. Tests and live/cloud comparisons qualify the selected-field contract; they do not prove commercial demand, provider uptime or a legal/license determination. Support: share a run ID and expected fields, without credentials or private material.
