# Norges Bank API > Live official monetary data from Norges Bank, Norway's central bank, served straight from its open data API — no key, nothing cached. The policy-rate endpoint returns Norway's key policy rate — the sight-deposit rate that Norges Bank sets to steer the economy, currently around 4.25% — with the date it took effect and recent history. The nowa endpoint returns NOWA, the Norwegian Overnight Weighted Average, the krone's overnight benchmark interest rate, together with the daily turnover behind it in millions of kroner and the number of reporting banks — NOWA prints around the policy rate on billions of kroner of overnight lending. The yields endpoint returns the Norwegian government bond generic yield curve (3, 5 and 10 years) with the 10-year-minus-3-year slope. This is the Norwegian central-bank layer for any fixed-income, forex, Nordic-markets or macro app that needs authoritative NOK rates. Live from Norges Bank, nothing stored. Distinct from the ECB, Fed and Bank of Canada APIs — this is Norway's policy rate, the NOWA benchmark and Norwegian government yields. 4 endpoints. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
