US Economic Calendar – CPI, Jobs, GDP, FOMC (Official Sources)
US economic release calendar straight from BLS, BEA, Census, the Fed (FOMC), EIA and DOL – not ForexFactory or Investing.com, so no blocks or captchas. Impact tags, reference periods, ET/UTC/your time zone, reschedule alerts, and a ready .ics calendar file.
A US macro release calendar built directly from the agencies that publish the data: BLS, BEA, Census Bureau, Federal Reserve (FOMC), EIA and DOL. Nothing is scraped from ForexFactory, Investing.com or other aggregators, so there are no Cloudflare blocks, no captchas, no proxies and no surprise breakages.
Problems with existing calendar scrapers, and how this Actor fixes them
| Common complaint | This Actor |
|---|---|
| ForexFactory / Investing.com scrapers break or get blocked by Cloudflare | Uses only official .gov pages and the BLS iCalendar feed. No proxy needed |
| Times in the wrong zone or missing DST | Every row has ET with the correct DST offset, UTC, and your own time zone (timeZone input) |
| "Which month is this CPI for?" | referencePeriod from BLS, BEA and Census (e.g. October 2026, 3rd Quarter 2026) |
| Hard to filter for what moves markets | impact tag (high/medium/low) and category (inflation, labor, growth, housing, energy, monetary_policy…) |
| No warning when releases move (e.g. after shutdowns or holidays) | Reschedule detection: changeStatus = new / rescheduled / unchanged, plus previousDateTimeET. onlyChanges mode for alerts |
| Want it in Google Calendar / Outlook | A ready calendar.ics file is saved in the key-value store every run |
| Paying a lot per event | Low pay-per-result price; a 30-day calendar is about 60 rows |
