Key features
- REST API for macro indicators by currency (e.g., `/api/usd/inflation`) returning JSON time-series with `start`/`end` query parameters; indicator docs show an API-key parameter.
- Indicator catalog includes GDP gr, inflation, trade balance, unemployment/employment metrics, policy & interbank rates, and government bond yields (by currency).
- Point-in-time release handling: homepage claims datasets include the actual announcement timestamp for each economic release to avoid lookahead bias in backtests.
- Web dashboards for currency pairs (e.g., EUR/USD) with macro vs FX overlays (carry/interest-rate differentials, yield curve metrics/spreads, inflation comparisons) and a "Recent Economic Announcements & FX Impact" table; charts expose Download/Embed/Share actions.
- Embeddable, real-time charts via an iframe HTML snippet ("Embed Graph" button) for external sites.
- Official Python SDK (`fxmacrodata`) with synchronous + asynchronous clients; includes helper methods for macro indicators and FX prices (`get_fx_price`).
- Pricing: "Professional" plan is advertised at $25/mo and lists "Unlimited API calls", "Dedicated support", and "SLA guarantee"; the 1-month free trial (coupon `FREETRIAL`).
- Billing/access notes: Terms and Privacy Policy state access/subscription is handled via RapidAPI; homepage/SDK also advertise free USD access, so exact gating may vary by endpoint/currency.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
