FXMacroData

About FXMacroData

FXMacroData is an API providing official macroeconomic release data for foreign exchange and quantitative research, covering CPI, jobs, GDP, and central-bank policy rate announcements. It provides point-in-time historical records with UTC release timestamps, spanning 26 years of history, so that backtests and research use only data that was known at each date rather than information available in hindsight. The service covers 17 markets through 21 API paths, sourcing release values from official publishers, central banks, and statistics offices.

The product includes REST API access, an MCP server for connecting AI agents and model frameworks, widgets and embeds, CSV data export, and a release calendar for tracking upcoming macro events by currency and source. It targets retail and institutional investors doing FX trading and research, developers building products on top of the data, and AI agents accessing the data through structured context.

Unauthenticated access to USD endpoints is available for up to 100 requests per day; a subscription is required for higher rate limits, API keys, full historical data, and coverage of additional currencies. A 14-day free trial is offered, and a commercial redistribution add-on is available as part of the paid plans.
