Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Economic Calendar Tracker > Live macro event calendar: **FOMC, CPI, NFP, GDP, PMI, ECB / BOJ / BOE rate decisions, OPEC meetings** + impact rating + forecast vs prior. This-week + optional next-week from Forex Factory's free feed. **No API key.** --- ### Why this exists Macro events drive the biggest single-day moves in every asset class. The day of an FOMC decision or CPI print can swing crypto and equities 3–5% in minutes. Pro traders avoid holding through these events; quants build calendars into their backtests. Investing.com's calendar is gated behind a paywall and rate limits. ForexFactory's calendar is **free and machine-readable** but you have to know about it. This actor wraps it with sane filters, sorting, and Telegram alerts on high-impact events. --- ### What you get per row | Field | Example | Notes | |---|---|---| | `title` | `Core CPI m/m` | event name | | `country` | `USD` | currency / region | | `impact` | `high` | low / medium / high / holiday | | `date_iso` | `2026-06-10T08:30:00-04:00` | event time in ET | | `forecast` | `0.3%` | consensus | | `previous` | `0.4%` | prior reading | | `actual` | `null` | populated after release | --- ### Impact levels | Impact | What to expect | |---|---| | **high** | Top-tier events (FOMC, NFP, CPI, GDP, ECB rate decision). Expect 1–5% moves in FX, indices, and crypto | | **medium** | Tier-2 (PMI, retail sales, durable goods). Often 0.5–1% moves | | **low** | Speeches, secondary data. Usually noise unless they break trend | | **holiday** | Bank holiday — thinner liquidity all day | --- ### Use cases 1. **Position management** — Don't get caught in a directional trade through high-impact events 2. **Volatility trading** — Buy straddles ahead of FOMC; sell after the print 3. **Quant backtests** — Mask trading PnL on high-impact event days for cleaner alpha measurement 4. **Risk dashboard** — Daily Telegram digest of upcoming high-impact events 5. **Calendar integration** — Pipe to Google Calendar / Slack / Discord webhook --- ### Quick start #### Default — all this-week events ```json {} ```` #### This + next week, high-impact only ```json { "includeNextWeek": true, "impactLevels": ["high"], "sortBy": "date_asc" } ``` #### USD + EUR + JPY only ```json { "countries": ["USD", "EUR", "JPY"], "sortBy": "impact_desc" } ``` #### Daily alert on high-impact events ```json { "alertOnImpacts": ["high"], "telegramBotToken": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN", "telegramChatId": "YOUR_CHAT_ID" } ``` *** ### Country / currency codes Standard ISO-like codes used by ForexFactory: - `USD` — United States - `EUR` — Eurozone - `JPY` — Japan - `GBP` — United Kingdom - `CHF` — Switzerland - `AUD` — Australia - `CAD` — Canada - `NZD` — New Zealand - `CNY` — China - `ALL` — multi-country events (OPEC, G7, IMF) *** ### Pricing **Pay-Per-Event**: `$0.001 per economic event returned.` | Run | Events | Cost | |---|---|---| | Default (this week, all) | ~75 | $0.075 | | This + next week, high-impact | 15–25 | $0.015–0.025 | | USD only | 15–20 | $0.015–0.020 | vs Bloomberg ECO function ($24,000/yr), or Trading Economics API ($89/mo). *** ### Data source [ForexFactory JSON feed](https://www.faireconomy.media) (provided by Fair Economy) — free, public, updated continuously. *** ### Related actors (same author) - [Treasury Yield Curve Tracker](https://apify.com/gochujang/treasury-yield-tracker) — Curve response to macro prints - [Stock Earnings Calendar Tracker](https://apify.com/gochujang/stock-earnings-tracker) — Single-name calendar - [Crypto ETF Flow Tracker](https://apify.com/gochujang/crypto-etf-flow-tracker) - [Stablecoin Supply Tracker](https://apify.com/gochujang/stablecoin-supply-tracker) *** ### Feedback A short review helps macro traders find it: [Leave a review on Apify Store](https://apify.com/gochujang/economic-calendar-tracker#reviews) # Actor input Schema ## `includeNextWeek` (type: `boolean`): Also pull next week's events.
