What is Economic Calendar Scraper?

Economic Calendar Scraper returns this week's macro-economic calendar — the scheduled data releases, central-bank decisions and speeches that move currencies, bonds and stocks — as clean JSON rows. Each event comes with its currency, scheduled time in UTC, expected impact (High / Medium / Low / Holiday), consensus forecast and previous reading, both as published ("9.0K", "0.3%") and as numbers you can compute with. It reads the public weekly calendar feed published by ForexFactory — no login, no browser. Run it from the Apify Console, the API, a schedule, or an AI agent through MCP.

How to use Economic Calendar Scraper

  1. Optionally list Currencies to keep, e.g. USD, EUR.

  3. Click Start. Events come back sorted by time; export them as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.
  4. Schedule it (e.g. every Monday 00:00 UTC, or every hour during the week) and connect a webhook to your bot or dashboard.

How much does it cost?

Pricing: Economic Calendar Scraper costs $0.50 per 1,000 events on the free plan, with volume discounts on paid Apify plans (pay per result, platform usage included).

A full week is typically 60–120 events — about five cents. A daily High-impact USD check costs a fraction of a cent.

Use cases

  • Trading bots — pause strategies or widen stops around High-impact events for the pairs they trade.
  • Alerts — post tomorrow's High-impact events to Slack, Telegram or Discord every evening.
  • Dashboards and newsletters — a clean weekly macro agenda by currency.
  • Research — join forecasts and previous readings with your own price data.

Limits

  • The source publishes the current week only; there is no historical or next-week feed, so schedule weekly runs to build history.
  • The feed carries forecast and previous figures but not the actual released value.
  • Times are published in US Eastern time; dateUtc converts them for you.
  • Bond auctions publish two-part figures (4.83|2.7 = average yield | bid-to-cover); those keep their text in forecast/previous and get null numbers.

Using Economic Calendar Scraper with AI agents

The Actor is pay-per-event with limited permissions, so assistants with the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) can call it directly: "what high-impact USD events are coming this week?" is one tool call returning structured rows.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the public weekly calendar feed (nfs.faireconomy.media) behind ForexFactory's calendar.

Why is there no actual value? The feed only carries forecast and previous readings. Run the Actor again after a release to see the updated previous figure for the next event in a series.

Is this investment advice? No. It is a data feed of scheduled events.
