For developers in Tanzania and East Africa

Whether you are a fintech engineer in Dar es Salaam, a startup building FX or market widgets, a news product team, or a data analyst tired of HTML scrapers — the Nukta AI API Platform gives you a clean JSON integration path for Tanzania public and market data.

  • Tanzania forex API — Bank of Tanzania, CRDB, NMB, KCB rates without scraping bank pages
  • DSE API — Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange gainers, losers, and market summary as JSON
  • Commodities / bidhaa API — crop and goods prices for agriculture and trade apps

Stop scraping — start integrating

Scraping Nukta AI (or bank and market HTML) is brittle, slow, and breaks when layouts change. Our public Data APIs are the supported way for developers to consume Tanzania forex, stocks, commodities, funds, banks, mobile wallets, and news. Integrate once, cache responsibly, and ship faster.

  • Replace web scrapers with documented GET endpoints and cURL / fetch examples
  • Build dashboards, mobile apps, Telegram bots, and research tools on stable JSON
  • Tell us what you are working on — we can help enrich the feeds your product needs

FAQ for Tanzania API developers

Should I scrape Nukta AI or use the API?

Please don’t scrape us — integrate with us. Public Data APIs give Tanzania developers stable JSON for forex, DSE stocks, commodities, offers, banks, mobile wallets, and news. Scrapers break when HTML changes; APIs are the supported path.

Is there a public API for Tanzania forex and DSE data?

Yes. Nukta AI exposes GET APIs for Bank of Tanzania and bank FX rates (CRDB, NMB, KCB), forex movers, DSE gainers/losers, and market summary — designed for developers building fintech and market tools in Tanzania.

Who is the Nukta AI API Platform for?

Developers, fintech teams, news product builders, data analysts, and startups in Tanzania and East Africa who need JSON market and content data without maintaining web scrapers.

Do I need an API key for Nukta AI Data APIs?

No. Tier A public GET endpoints under /api/* work without a key when called from the same Nukta AI host. Partner API keys are planned for higher-volume or off-origin access.

Which Tanzania data can I fetch from the API Platform?

Public playgrounds cover forex rates (BoT, CRDB, NMB, KCB), forex movers, commodities (bidhaa), DSE gainers/losers, market summary, daily prices, price histories, fundamentals, investment offers, banks (cards/fees/accounts), mobile wallets, communities (topics/threads/messages), iTrust ETF, asset allocation, topics, discover posts, and similar news. The same catalog is available read-only via Public MCP at POST /api/public/mcp.

Is there a public MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint?

Yes. POST /api/public/mcp is a keyless, rate-limited, read-only MCP server for Tanzania public Data APIs. Docs and Cursor examples live at /api-platform/mcp. Full partner CRUD remains on authenticated POST /api/mcp.

Can Tanzania developers use this instead of scraping bank or DSE websites?

Yes for the datasets we publish. Integrate our JSON endpoints for forex, DSE snapshots, bidhaa prices, bank products (/api/banks), mobile wallets (/api/mobile_wallets), and related feeds rather than scraping bank or exchange HTML. If you need more series, email us and we can discuss enrichment.

What is the difference between Search API and Data APIs?

Data APIs are read-only JSON feeds for news, markets, and discover. Search API is a separate semantic search product surface. Agent API is for conversational agents with structured messages.

Can I use these APIs in a mobile app?

Yes for public reads, subject to fair use and future rate limits. Prefer server-side fetching for any secrets, and cache responses where appropriate — a common pattern for Tanzania fintech and news apps.

How do we partner if we need more data?

Email danny@nukta.co.tz with what you’re working on and which feeds you need. We’ll help explore integration options and enrich your data where we can.

Why do playground request URLs start with /api/...?

Playgrounds use relative paths so they hit the environment you are browsing (local or production). Prepend your site origin when calling from external scripts.
