## FAQ

### Can I reuse the data in my product?

Yes. Every event comes from an official agency under a reuse licence, and each row carries its licence and the attribution text the agency asks for.

### Do the dates update by themselves?

Yes. The dates use the relative values today and +7d, so a scheduled run always covers the coming week.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Economic Calendar Scraper & API (Official Sources)](https://apify.com/ocius-data/economic-calendar.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/ocius-data/economic-calendar.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
