I'm excited to officially announce the launch of FXMacroData — a real-time, standardized central bank data API designed specifically for FOREX traders, quants, and financial analysts. Managing multiple sources of macroeconomic data has always been time-consuming. With data scattered across the ECB, FRED, RBA, and other central banks, keeping your models up to date can feel like a full-time job. FXMacroData solves that problem by providing a single, reliable API for all the key metrics you need:
- Inflation rates
- Interest rates / policy rates
- GDP growth and other economic indicators
- Labor market data
- Government bond yields
- …all delivered with announcement data guaranteed within 100ms of official release, so your models always reflect the latest information.
Key Features
FXMacroData is built for speed, consistency, and integration.
- Real-Time Updates — data is automatically refreshed as soon as it’s published by central banks.
- Normalized & Standardized — consistent units, formats, and naming conventions.
- Python Native — integrates seamlessly with pandas and NumPy, but works from any language via HTTP.
- Comprehensive Coverage — USD, EUR, AUD, and more, including historical data.
