FXMacroData
Official macroeconomic releases, central-bank policy rates, release calendars and FX rates for 22 currencies via the FXMacroData API. 5 read-only tools; the data catalogue, the USD calendar and recent USD releases work without an API key.
Setup
No key is needed to start. Without one, the API serves the data catalogue for every currency, the USD release calendar and USD releases from the last 90 days, each readable 15 minutes after publication. Keyless use has a fair-use allowance of 100 requests a day.
- Install the connector and call
fxmacrodata_data_cataloguewith a lowercase currency code (for exampleusd) to get the indicator slugs, such asinflation,policy_rateorunemployment. - Use those slugs with
fxmacrodata_latest_announcements,fxmacrodata_indicator_historyandfxmacrodata_release_calendar. - For other currencies, FX rates, full history and real-time releases, subscribe at https://fxmacrodata.com/subscribe and set the optional
FXMACRODATA_API_KEY(sent as theX-API-Keyheader).fxmacrodata_fx_ratesalways needs it.
A route that needs a key answers 401 api_key_required: the data exists behind a subscription, it is not missing. A wrong key answers 401 invalid_api_key, even on the free routes. In the answers, date is the reference period (the month, for CPI), not the release day; the release time is announcement_datetime (Unix seconds, UTC). Lists return 20 rows by default and up to 100 with limit.
Prerequisites: (none required; FXMACRODATA_API_KEY is optional)
Install the connector locally

docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store, pick FXMacroData and paste in the env vars listed under Prerequisites.
