## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## 🇸🇪 Riksbank SWEA Rates Scraper

> 🚀 **Pull Swedish central bank rates in seconds.** Get policy rates, reference rates, STIBOR fixings, government bond yields, and SEK exchange rates from the Riksbank SWEA API.

Turn the Riksbank's SWEA statistics feed into clean, structured records you can drop into a treasury report, an FX model, a macro dataset, or a research notebook. Pick one or more SWEA series, choose the latest value or a historical date range, and the Actor returns one tidy record per observation date with the series ID, its description, the date, and the value.

Coverage is the full SWEA catalog: the Riksbank policy rate and other central-bank rates, reference and discount rates, STIBOR fixings across tenors, Swedish treasury bills and government bonds, foreign benchmark yields, the TCW and KIX indices, and SEK cross rates against more than fifty currencies. Leave the series list empty to pull the whole catalog (capped by Max Items), or select exactly the series you need from the dropdown.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Treasury and finance teams | Pull official SEK rates and fixings for reporting |
| FX and rates analysts | Track the policy rate, STIBOR, and bond yields |
| Fintech and app developers | Feed a rate feature with clean records |
| Economists and researchers | Build historical Swedish rate series |

### 📋 What the Riksbank SWEA Rates Scraper does

This Actor calls the public Riksbank SWEA API. It first reads the series catalog, then for each selected series it pulls either the latest observation or a date range of history, and returns one clean record per observation:

- **Central-bank rates** — policy rate, deposit, lending, marginal, reference, and discount rates.
- **Market rates** — STIBOR fixings (1 week to 12 months), treasury bills, government bonds, and mortgage bonds.
- **Foreign benchmarks** — 5- and 10-year government bond yields for several countries.
- **SEK cross rates and indices** — SEK against 50+ currencies, plus the TCW and KIX indices.

Each record carries the series ID, short/mid/long descriptions, the observation date and value, the group ID, the source, and the series' available date range. Every record carries a `scrapedAt` timestamp.

### 📊 Data fields

Each record includes: `date`, `groupId`, `longDescription`, `midDescription`, `observationMaxDate`, `observationMinDate`, `scrapedAt`, `seriesClosed`, `seriesId`, `shortDescription`, `source`, `value`. All 12 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

### 🚀 How to use

1. Create a free Apify account using [this sign-up link](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
