FXMacroData

Real-time forex macroeconomic API for all major currency pairs sourced from central bank announcements.

FXMacroData 📊

Official-source macroeconomic and FX data, timestamped for backtesting.

fxmacrodata.com delivers macroeconomic indicators, FX prices, and central-bank releases sourced directly from central banks and statistical agencies. Every observation carries the exact announcement timestamp, so research and backtests can ask what was knowable at the time rather than silently using a revised figure.

656 indicator endpoints · 97 distinct macroeconomic indicators · 18 currencies

AUD · BRL · CAD · CHF · CNH · CNY · DKK · EUR · GBP · ILS · JPY · NGN · NOK · NZD · PEN · SEK · THB · USD

🚀 Start here

pip install fxmacrodata
from fxmacrodata import Client

# The key is sent as an X-API-Key header, not in the URL.
client = Client(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Macroeconomic releases, with announcement timestamps
data = client.get_indicator("eur", "inflation", start_date="2023-01-01")

# Upcoming releases
calendar = client.get_calendar("usd")

An async client is available as AsyncClient. Both depend only on requests and aiohttp, and work directly with pandas.


📦 Repositories

Repo What it is
fxmacrodata Official Python SDK — sync + async clients (PyPI)
mcp-server-fxmacrodata MCP server, for using the data from Claude and other AI agents

🤖 AI agents & MCP

The API is available as a hosted Model Context Protocol server, so an agent can query macro data, release calendars, and FX rates as tools:

https://mcp.fxmacrodata.com/mcp

See the MCP Server docs for client setup, or run the self-hosted server.


💡 Why it exists

  • No lookahead bias — every point carries its announcement timestamp, and revisions keep their original epochs, so you can reconstruct what was published when
  • Official sources only — central banks and statistical agencies, with provenance on every response
  • Release-aware — a calendar of upcoming releases with confirmed vs assumed times, not just historical series
  • Built for machines — REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI, and MCP

🔌 Endpoint & authentication
