Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the FXMacroData API and website (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

The Service is operated by FXMacroData, a registered business name in Australia (ABN 97 837 657 289). References to "FXMacroData", "we", "us", and "our" in these Terms mean that business. You can contact us at info@fxmacrodata.com.

2. Service and Access

FXMacroData provides real-time and historical macroeconomic data via an API for financial professionals. Certain freemium endpoint families are available without a subscription but are limited to the most recent 90 days for non-subscribed users and are served on a 15-minute release delay. Real-time delivery, full-history access, and paid endpoint families require an active Individual, Business or Enterprise subscription. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

Data covered by these Terms

"FXMacroData data" means everything the Service delivers, in every endpoint family and format, including:

  • official announcements and releases, with their first-release values, revisions, vintages, and announcement timestamps;
  • forecasts, consensus, and expectations: official forecaster surveys, central-bank and institutional projections, nowcasts, market-implied expectations, and FXMacroData's own forecasts, each with its publication timestamp and provenance;
  • release calendars, FX reference rates, bond yields and curves, commodities, positioning (COT) data, central-bank press releases, and market-session data;
  • metadata, data-quality fields, and values FXMacroData calculates from the above, such as changes, differentials, and surprises.

Section 3 governs access to the Service across these categories. The Commercial Redistribution Terms govern eligible customer-facing display. Underlying publisher terms may impose additional attribution, notice, use or redistribution conditions for particular datasets. These agreements grant only rights that FXMacroData is entitled to grant and do not override a publisher's rights.

Data sources

FXMacroData's source policy prioritises the institutions that produce the statistics, including central banks, national statistics agencies and government departments. Public access to a publication does not by itself establish permission to redistribute it commercially. Rights depend on the particular dataset, its publisher terms and any third-party inputs. Official surveys and projections are distinguished from FXMacroData's own forecasts.

Our Data sources and licensing reference explains the distinction between source data and the FXMacroData service, with links to publisher terms and information for procurement reviews. Source metadata and any applicable dataset notices should be retained when using or displaying data.

FXMacroData does not claim exclusive ownership of official figures or remove rights you receive under an applicable source licence, publisher permission or public-domain status, including source material supplied through the Service. Where source terms grant onward reuse rights, those rights and their conditions take precedence over conflicting restrictions in these Terms for that source material. This does not grant access to FXMacroData systems beyond your plan. Subscription charges cover the Service, including collection, standardisation, history, tools and delivery. Formatting, conversion or a derived calculation does not remove underlying source conditions.

3. Use License and Restrictions

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the API for your internal business purposes or personal quantitative analysis. This license includes the right to store and use data you lawfully retrieve for internal purposes as described below. You agree not to:

  • Resell, sublicense, redistribute, publish, externally share, expose through an API, feed, database, warehouse, marketplace, bulk download, or customer-facing product, or otherwise make available raw data, derived datasets, or substantially similar data products obtained from the Service.
  • Use data, retained historical copies, cached data, or derived datasets from the Service to build, train, populate, or operate a product or service that substitutes for or competes with FXMacroData.
  • Use the Service for illegal or unauthorized purposes.
  • Attempt to overburden, disrupt, or attack the API infrastructure.

The restrictions on substitute products and external sharing concern supplying the underlying data to third parties as an independent data source. They do not prohibit private storage, databases, warehouses, or internal analytical systems. Permitted customer-facing display is governed by the Commercial Redistribution Terms below.

Individual is for solo engineers and one-person projects, including commercial development. Business is for incorporated businesses with two or more people. Enterprise is for large organisations with a custom agreement. Individual and Business include the same dataset; audience size does not determine the base plan.

Customer-facing human-readable display is available only under the separate Commercial Redistribution Terms. Those terms permit storage to operate your product, but do not permit supplying the underlying data to third parties through raw API pass-through, bulk downloads, data feeds, warehouse shares, or marketplace resale.

Internal storage and retention

You may store, retain, and use FXMacroData data that you lawfully retrieve during an active subscription for your own internal research, analytics, audit, development, testing, reporting, and backtesting purposes. This includes raw API responses, historical snapshots, append-only internal records, technical logs, partial values, derived metrics, reports, models, and other internal research outputs.

FXMacroData imposes no maximum retention period on lawfully obtained data. You may keep databases, replicas, historical archives, backups, and multi-year audit records, including in private BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, or other managed storage. Storage providers and contractors may process the data on your behalf under access controls and confidentiality obligations, without independent reuse or resale rights. Applicable publisher conditions continue to apply.

Cancellation and retained data

FXMacroData does not require routine deletion or purge of internally retained data after cancellation or expiry. After cancellation or expiry, API access, updates, support, and the right to retrieve new data end, but you may continue to use data already retrieved for internal purposes, subject to these Terms.

Keeping a copy does not preserve redistribution rights. When cancellation, termination, or expiry of your Commercial Redistribution license takes effect, you must stop all customer-facing display, delivery, and redistribution under that license, including from data downloaded or stored while it was active. Remove or disable external access to those copies and outputs. You may retain lawfully obtained copies solely for internal use, including research, backtesting, compliance, and audits, without routine deletion. Keeping your underlying API subscription active does not extend redistribution rights. See the termination provisions and storage and retention provisions.

Derived analytics

Derived analytics, metrics, models, reports, and research outputs may be retained and used internally. They may not be used to reconstruct, redistribute, expose, or commercialize the underlying FXMacroData dataset, or to create a substitute data feed or competing product.

Continuing restrictions

The restrictions on redistribution, resale, sublicensing, external sharing, public display, API or feed access, bulk export, warehouse sharing, marketplace distribution, and use of FXMacroData data to build or operate a substitute or competing data product continue to apply after cancellation or expiry.

4. Fair Use & "Unlimited" Access

FXMacroData provides "unlimited" API access to facilitate comprehensive data analysis and automated trading workflows. However, to ensure Service stability and prevent abuse of infrastructure costs, the following Fair Use guidelines apply:

  • Frequency: Standard "unlimited" access is defined as usage patterns typical of a single application or individual trader. Continuous high-frequency polling exceeding 1 request per second (RPS) is considered outside the scope of fair use for Individual plans.
  • Automation: While automated polling is permitted, scripts must implement reasonable "sleep" intervals. Intentional infrastructure exhaustion or "denial of service" behavior will result in immediate suspension.
  • Enforcement: We reserve the right to implement technical rate limits, throttling, or account suspension for users who significantly exceed average subscriber usage levels.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service and all data provided are "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the data will be accurate, complete, or error-free. Financial data is for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

6. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the principles of international commercial law. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of a recognized international arbitral institution.

7. Billing and Cancellation

Annual pay-once licences are available only for payment methods that cannot support automatic recurring charges, such as bank transfers. Credit cards, debit cards, Link and recurring direct debit use monthly or annual subscriptions. Pay-once licences are paid upfront, have no free trial and do not renew automatically. Access starts after payment is confirmed and lasts for the paid term shown in your account. Renewal requires a new purchase using an eligible payment method. The trial and automatic-renewal terms below apply to recurring subscriptions.

  • Free trials require a valid payment method at signup.
  • Unless cancelled before trial end, trials convert to a paid subscription at the listed plan price.
  • You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless otherwise stated at checkout.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we may limit or suspend service access until billing information is updated and payment is resolved.

Price changes

We may change the price of any subscription plan at any time, including the price of a subscription you already hold. Where a change affects a subscription you already hold, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email to the address on your account before the new price applies to you, and the new price will take effect on your first renewal on or after the date stated in that notice.

  • Price changes are never retroactive. Any billing period you have already paid for continues at the price you paid for it.
  • You may cancel at any time before a new price takes effect. If you do, you will never be billed at the new price and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • If you do not cancel before the date stated in the notice, continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new price.
  • Prices are set in US dollars. If your payment method is billed in another currency, the amount charged is converted from the US dollar price by our payment processor at the rate applying on your billing date, so the local amount may differ between billing periods even when the US dollar price has not changed.

Original source availability

Original statistics are free from the ECB, RBA, Bank of Canada and BCEAO. FXMacroData charges for collection, standardisation, history and tools. Source terms and third-party exclusions apply.

Philippine international reserve data originate from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) publications and can be retrieved free from the BSP website.
