What is always free in the FXMacroData API?

Always Free access includes public USD evaluation paths and discovery endpoints. USD time-series and stream evaluation are limited to the most recent 365 days where history applies and up to 100 no-key requests per day.

Does Always Free access expire after a trial?

No. Always Free access is separate from the 14-day paid trial and does not require checkout.

Which plan is required for customer-facing API use?

Customer-facing use requires Commercial Redistribution or Enterprise terms. Individual and Startup plans are for private or internal workflows.

Compare what each FXMacroData API plan includes

Always Free access is available for public USD evaluation and discovery. Paid plans unlock full history, non-USD macro data, protected datasets, MCP tools, exports, and production usage. Redistribution has its own license because customer-facing use is different from internal research.

Always Free access is persistent. It does not require checkout and is separate from the 14-day paid trial. The trial unlocks the paid plan surface during the trial period; the public endpoints remain available without payment.
