 On the Internet, there is a lot of static/stale US Treasury bond data and some of these sources show up in various `R` packages. This package provides *real-time* daily **interest-rate** information for the US Treasury yield curve from 1962 to the present and *real-time* daily US Treasury bond **price** information for about 400 different bonds going back to 2010. More data downloads are planned.
