MQL5 economic calendar historical data to Google Sheet???

 
As the subject title says, and looking have this auto imported to G sheets, or maybe extracted by G sheets from MQL5, or if I need something in between to connect MQL5 and G Sheets.

Not sure if this is possible. Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Thanks!!!

Generally, it is possible. Terms of service prohibit such, though.

Please, provide the quotation of terms of service, which prohibits using the calendar records for personal purpose.

MQL5 provides API which allows a user to request and save history of news events into, say, CSV file, then the user can supposedly import it into his personal spreadshit, or can't he/she?

Hey man, Welcome!


You could use the MQL5-API, and get the data from the terminal, but data provided by that API is delayed in delivery, sometimes several hours... - To some extend 3.18 h) could be understood in such way, that you are not allowed to make copies of the data.


Actually, it is hard to say, and should be answered by MQ directly, therefore I would detour you towards MQ Support, and ask them for specifics here.

I am not a Lawyer, nor can I provide legal council, this is just my personal opinion/interpretation.

The highlighted does not prohibit to use MQL5 API, read calendar records via MQL5 program and process them in any convenient way, one of which could be a spreadsheet or database, as long as it's a personal spreadsheet or database. Of course, if someone would publish the copy of the economic calendar publicly, that would be a violation of the terms, but that's not mentioned in the question.

The question "as is" is not about reproduction or selling the content of the site.

You're wrong. The economic calendar is [near] real-time.

Well, then it has been fixed, last time I checked was January, and it had massive lag.

Much appreciated!  I understand.

The delay is fine. What I'm after is to create a dashboard in sheets (or excel) which displays the stats of whichever indicator I need to see. Mainly for fundamental and statistical analysis what not.

I'll reach out to MQ support then. 

Again, thank you!
