HKMA Daily Monetary Statistics Scraper

HKMA Daily Monetary Statistics Scraper

Scrape HKMA daily monetary statistics for any date range, up to a million records per run. Each row includes the date, monetary aggregate, and all published figures, returned in a flat schema. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The HKMA publishes daily monetary statistics that are essential for tracking Hong Kong's banking system, but the official website offers no bulk download and manual copying is error-prone. This Actor reads the public daily statistics pages directly, filters by date range, and returns each day's figures in one consistent row. It works for analysts, economists, and compliance teams who need clean time-series data without writing a scraper.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your fromDate and toDate are in YYYY-MM-DD format and that the range includes dates when the HKMA published statistics. Also ensure maxItems is set to at least 1.

Why did the run stop before my toDate?

You likely hit the maxItems limit. Increase maxItems if you are a paid user, or narrow your date range to stay within the free preview limit of 10 records.

The output has fewer rows than expected.

Some dates may not have published statistics, or the HKMA page structure may have changed. Try a smaller date range to isolate the issue, and contact support if the problem persists.

Can I scrape data for a single day?

Yes. Set fromDate and toDate to the same date, and the Actor will return that day's statistics if available.
