What building it taught us

The connector's own docstring, verbatim. It lives beside the code so it cannot drift from it.

Macao CPI from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC).

DSEC's current time-series database publishes three distinct household-basket families -- Composite CPI, CPI-A and CPI-B -- on the July 2023 to June 2024 base. The source itself chain-links the current-base index back to 1998; this connector stores that explicitly published linked series and never joins base families on its own. The official catalogue, the 2014 and 2019 rebasing papers, and the first 2024-base release are archived beside every data fetch so the history and classification transitions remain auditable.

The API publishes index levels plus previous-period and same-period changes. All three are retained as source values. Basket weights come from the latest annual DSEC workbook and are normalized from percent to shares.
