Economic Calendar Api Recommendation?

New comment
 

Can anyone recommend an economic calendar api?

I need one for my company.  It has to be an actual api that reads json data (or other format) and doesn't rely on screen-scraping of html.


Does anyone have any advice?


Thanks in advance!

 
You didn't make a lot of efforts to find it yourself. It's 5 minutes research to find at least 3 different ones. Do your homework.

Ok...... Let's try this again. You can use FF's free calendar API 

import datetime as dt
import functools

import dateutil.parser as date_parser
import requests


@functools.lru_cache
def get_events(past_events=False):
    url = 'https://cdn-nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.json'
    events = requests.get(url).json()
    now = dt.datetime.now(tz=dt.timezone.utc)
    filtered_events = []
    for e in events:
        date = e['date'] = date_parser.parse(e['date'])
        if past_events or date >= now:
            filtered_events.append(e)
    return filtered_events


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import pprint
    def high_impact_usd(event):
        return (event['country'] == 'USD' and event['impact'] in ['High', 'Medium'])

    pprint.pp(list(filter(high_impact_usd, get_events())))

MT5 calendar data difference from ffc 

MT5 calendar forecasting data must be different from ff calendar because those are the two different calendars (it should not be same by definition).
