forex economic news api

[NoCool14]

Hello guys,

I tried to search around but could not find a way to get the forex economic news api. What I need to do is get the economic data (like the nonfarm payroll, the websites get) and use it on my EA. Can anyone guide me to the right place. What I am asking is how do other websites get the economic data on their website?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply,

I was asking more like where does dailyfx get their info to provide us with http://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/Dailyfx_Global_Economic_Calendar.csv that? Where does dailyfx get the data to be able to provide it to us?

Like where does dailyfx get the results of nonfarm payroll or GB manufacturing production and display them on their website?

Thank you.

• actual data is 8 (data taken from official report) according to the latest press release - official report website for this particular news event)
