Economic Calendar Api Recommendation?
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.

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!
use nquotes+c#
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())))
