ausref.dev
Central-bank policy rates, VAT, minimum wages and public holidays for 8 Australasian countries. Every value cited to its official source, with the date it was last verified.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.
Asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

The Board met again on 16 June 2026 and left the target unchanged, so 4.35% is confirmed current as at 2026-07-20. 2026 tightening sequence to date: 3.60% -> 3.85% (decision 3 Feb 2026, mr-26-03, eff. 4 Feb 2026), -> 4.10% (decision 17 Mar 2026, eff. 18 Mar 2026, a 5-4 split), -> 4.35% (decision 5 May 2026, eff. 6 May 2026), unchanged 16 Jun 2026. Since the Reserve Bank Reforms Act 2025 (Cth) commenced the decision-maker is the Monetary Policy Board (not the former single Reserve Bank Board), and votes are published: the May 2026 decision was 8-1 (eight to raise 25bp, one to hold at 4.10%). The RBA does not set the cash rate by legal instrument - it is an operational target implemented through open market operations and the Exchange Settlement Account remuneration corridor (ES balances remunerated at the target).

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
No per-endpoint history for this service yet, so this is payments indexed to its PROVIDER's wallet over 30 days. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service ausref.dev and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=ausref.dev' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://ausref.dev/v1/:country/:series/history, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
