Bank of Israel economic data, such as interest rates, CPI figures, and exchange rates, is essential for business and financial decision-making. However, accessing this data requires navigating the Bank of Israel API, which is not always intuitive, and the data comes in formats that require processing before it can be used effectively.

Changelog
v1.2.0: fixed the broken Bank of Israel API path (the old sdmx/v2/data/dataflow path returned 404). The working path is ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/data with EXR/RER_USD_ILS for exchange rates, BIR for interest, and PRI for CPI. Fixed the helper script (correct XML parsing + browser User-Agent), aligned the publication time to 15:30, and refreshed the example exchange rates.

Added Reference Links section with 4 official sources (BOI, edge.boi.gov.il, press releases, CBS CPI) and brought HE description to EN-depth parity.
May 5, 2026
Fix: replaced the dead data.boi.org.il host with the live edge.boi.gov.il SDMX endpoint so the Step 2 example calls work again.
