Support & FAQ

Announcement data is delivered in real time, within 50 milliseconds of official central bank publication.

FXMacroData aggregates from FRED (Federal Reserve), ECB, RBA, and other major central banks worldwide.

Yes. Full historical data is available with a Professional subscription. Non-subscribed users can access freemium time-series endpoints for the most recent 365 days.

Calendar, data catalogue, and market sessions are public. Freemium time-series endpoints (including USD announcements, USD predictions, and forex) are limited to the most recent 365 days for non-subscribed users. Full history, non-USD announcements, COT, and commodities require a Professional API key.

Yes. The 14-day trial requires a valid credit card at signup. You will not be charged until the trial ends.

Yes, you can cancel from your subscription settings before your next billing cycle. No questions asked.

Your subscription automatically converts to the paid plan unless cancelled before trial end. You can manage this in your billing settings.

If payment cannot be processed, account access may be limited until billing information is updated. See billing terms for details.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) through our secure Stripe payment processor.

Pass your API key as a query parameter: ?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY. Find your key in the API management dashboard after subscribing.

All paid plans include email support for integration and data questions. Enterprise plans add priority support and custom SLA options. See support response targets.

Yes. Every release includes an announcement_datetime field — the actual time the data was made public, not just the reference period (e.g. "Q3 2024"). When you slice your historical dataset to a given date, you only see releases that were published by that point, matching live trading conditions.

Yes. All API responses return clean JSON that converts directly to a pd.DataFrame. Timestamp fields are ISO 8601 strings. Consistent schema across all supported currencies means you can pd.concat()multi-currency DataFrames without reformatting. Works with vectorbt, backtrader, and custom event-study pipelines via merge_asof.

Each record reflects the value as published at its announcement_datetime. Revisions are recorded as separate releases with their own timestamps, so you can reconstruct what was known at any historical point without mixing in later data revisions.

Historical depth varies by indicator and central bank source. Most major indicators (CPI, GDP, policy rate, unemployment) cover at least 10 years. Bond yields and some secondary indicators have shorter histories. See the indicator catalogue for per-metric coverage details.

Redistribution rights depend on your plan. The Individual plan is for personal use only. Startup and Enterprise plans include redistribution rights for websites, emails, and publications. API redistribution is not permitted on any plan. See Terms of Service for full details.
