Monthly Statement of the Public Debt (MSPD)
This dataset provides high-level information on the federal government's outstanding debts, holdings, and the statutory debt limit on a monthly basis.
About This Dataset
Description:
The Monthly Statement of the Public Debt (MSPD) details the Treasury's outstanding debts and the statutory debt limit. Debt is categorized by whether it is marketable or non-marketable and whether it is debt held by the public or debt held by government agencies. All amounts are reported in millions of U.S. dollars. Data is published on the fourth business day of each month, detailing the debt as of the end of the previous month.

Notes & Known Limitations
The Statutory Debt Limit is the maximum amount, established by law, of public debt that can be outstanding at a given time. In the Detail of Non-Marketable Treasury Securities Outstanding table, values with an asterisk (*) denote values less than $500,000. Also for data in this table before 2007, redemptions (retired) and inflation adjustments are combined in one field: inflation_adj_amt. Some columns in this dataset overlap with the Historical Debt Outstanding, Gift Contributions to Reduce Debt Held by the Public, Debt to the Penny, Monthly Treasury Statement (MTS), Schedules of Federal Debt, Daily Treasury Statement (DTS), and Savings Bonds Securities datasets.
Debt issued by the Federal Financing Bank is included in the intragovernmental holdings and total public debt outstanding on the MSPD, but not in the Schedules of Federal Debt because it is not debt managed by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The difference between these datasets is equal to the amount of the Federal Financing Bank securities outstanding. Total savings bonds outstanding reported in the MSPD will not match total savings bonds outstanding in the Savings Bonds Securities dataset due to a difference in the timing of when reversals and reconciliation transactions are recorded. Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt on the MSPD are reported with a one month lag.

- Parameter:
fields= - Definition: The fields parameter allows you to select which field(s) should be included in the response.
- Accepts: The
fields=parameter accepts a comma-separated list of field names (no parentheses). - Required: No, specifying fields is not required to make an API request.
- Default: If desired fields are not specified, all fields will be returned.
- Notes: When a field named passed to the
fields=parameter is not available for the endpoint accessed, an error will occur. Note that omitting fields can result in automatically aggregated and summed data results. For more information, view the full documentation on Aggregation and Sums.
?fields=- Parameter:
filter= - Definition: Filters are used to view a subset of the data based on specific criteria. For example, you may want to find data that falls within a certain date range, or only show records which contain a value larger than a certain threshold.
- Accepts: The filter parameter
filter=accepts filters from the list below, as well as specified filter criteria. Use a colon at the end of a filter parameter to pass a value or list of values. For lists passed as filter criteria, use a comma-separated list within parentheses. Filter for specific dates using the formatYYYY-MM-DD. - Required: No, filters are not required to make an API request.
- Default: When no filters are provided, the default response will return all fields and all data.
lt= Less thanlte= Less than or equal togt= Greater thangte= Greater than or equal toeq= Equal toin= Contained in a given set
?filter=undefined:eq:undefinedhttps://www.transparency.treasury.gov/services/api/fiscal_service/undefined?filter=undefined:eq:undefined- Parameter:
sort= - Definition: The sort parameter allows a user to sort a field in ascending (least to greatest) or descending (greatest to least) order.
- Accepts: The sort parameter
sort=accepts a comma-separated list of field names. - Required: No, sorting is not required to make an API request.
- Default: When no sort parameter is specified, the default is to sort by the first column listed. Most API endpoints are thus sorted by date in ascending order (historical to most current).
- Notes: You can nest sorting by passing the
sort=parameter a comma-separated list.
?sort=-undefinedhttps://www.transparency.treasury.gov/services/api/fiscal_service/undefined?sort=-undefined- Parameter:
format= - Definition: The format parameter allows a user to define the output method of the response (CSV, JSON, XML).
- Accepts: The
format=parameter acceptsxml,json, orcsvas an input. - Required: No, the format parameter is not required to make an API request.
- Default: When no format is specified, the default response format is JSON.
?format=csv- Parameter:
page[size]=andpage[number]= - Definition: The page size will set the number of rows that are returned on a request, and page number will set the index for the pagination, starting at 1. This allows the user to paginate through the records returned from an API request.
- Accepts: The
page[number]=andpage[size]=parameters both accept integers. - Required: No, neither pagination parameters are required to make an API request.
- Default: When no page number or page size parameter is specified, the default response is
- Page number: 1
- Page size: 100
- Specifying the endpoint
- Requesting the JSON response format
