Steps a workflow can run in MoSPI.

  • Get consumer price indexRead India's Consumer Price Index: the index level and the year-on-year inflation rate, by state, spending group and rural or urban sector, monthly back to 2013. This is the series the headline inflation number comes from. Filter by name and the names are translated into the codes the platform needs, which matters because it accepts a name, ignores it, and returns everything looking filtered.
  • Get industrial production indexRead the Index of Industrial Production: output and its year-on-year growth for mining, manufacturing and electricity, and for the use-based split into capital, intermediate, infrastructure and consumer goods. Published monthly, and the earliest signal of whether industry is expanding or contracting.
  • Compare states on inflationRank the states by inflation for one month: where prices are rising fastest and where they are not. Every page is read, because one month of one spending group runs past the platform's page limit and a single page would quietly rank about half the states. Only the group's own figure is ranked, not its sub-groups, and any state that published no figure that month is named rather than dropped.
  • Follow an inflation trendFollow one price series month by month, with the peak, the trough, the average and the change in the index across the period. Pinning the state, group and sector is what makes it a series: without that the platform interleaves every combination and the result is not a trend. Defaults to the national all items series, which is the one the headline inflation rate is quoted from.
  • Follow an industry trendFollow industrial output month by month for one category, with the average growth and how far the index moved. Use it to see whether manufacturing is picking up, or to chart capital goods as a read on investment. Defaults to the General index, which is the headline.
  • List the codesList the states, spending groups, sectors, industry categories and months the platform knows, with the code it files each under. Worth reading first. The platform filters on codes and ignores names: ask it for Kerala and it accepts the request, ignores it, and returns all thirty-six states looking filtered. The other actions accept either and translate for you; this is where the names come from.
  • Check the platform statusCheck the platform is answering and report how current each series is. Official statistics are published with a lag and revised afterwards, so the most recent month is worth knowing before a workflow reports a figure as the latest, and a provisional figure is worth marking as one. Also states plainly that no account is needed, which the published manual still says otherwise.
  • Call an endpoint directlyCall any MoSPI endpoint with parameters of your own. The platform also exposes the Annual Survey of Industries, the Periodic Labour Force Survey and National Accounts Statistics, but those answer 'Please check the input parameters passed' to every combination tried here and their parameters are published nowhere, so they have no actions of their own. This is how to reach them if you learn what they want, and how to reach anything the ministry adds later.
