Fed Calendar: FOMC Meetings, Minutes & Statistical Releases

Scheduled Federal Reserve events from the Fed's own calendar: FOMC meeting days, statement, press conference and minutes, Beige Book, governor speeches and statistical releases (G.17, H.8, G.19, Z.1, H.15). One row per event with Eastern and UTC time and links to statement and minutes.

The actor reads the Federal Reserve Board's own two calendars on www.federalreserve.gov: the monthly event calendar and the FOMC meeting calendar. You get one dataset row per scheduled date — event type, printed Eastern time, the exact UTC moment, the release code (H.15, G.17, Z.1 …), the speaker of a Board appearance, and for every FOMC meeting the links to statement, implementation note, projection materials, press conference and minutes plus the date the minutes appeared. It is a schedule: dates, times and documents, not actual, forecast or previous values of any indicator. No API key, no proxy and no browser — three static pages at most per run.

Use cases

• Trading bots and agents: "when is the next Fed meeting?" — fomcMeetings with onlyUpcoming returns the remaining meeting days of this year and the whole next year, with the projection flag.
• Rates desks: the full FOMC communication block — meeting day, press conference and the minutes three weeks later in one table, each with its UTC moment, so a job can be scheduled minutes before the release.
• Bank and macro analysts: a month of Fed data releases — every G.17, H.8, H.4.1, G.19 and Z.1 date of a chosen month, with the code and the time printed by the Board.
• Dashboards: "next release of X" — nextEvent gives exactly one row per selected release or event type with the hours left until it publishes.
• News desks and event-risk monitoring — scheduled speeches, discussions and congressional testimony of Board members with speaker, topic, host event and live-stream link.
• Retrieval and research pipelines — a whole year of meetings with the URLs of statement, implementation note, projections and minutes, ready to ingest.
• Change monitoring — a scheduled task with onlyNew emits only calendar entries that were not there on the previous run: a newly announced speech, a rescheduled release, a minutes date that just appeared.

Input

Nothing is required. Every field below has a working prefill or default, so a run without input returns the next 60 days of FOMC events and statistical releases.

Field	Type	Default	Allowed values / notes
mode	string	calendar	calendar (one row per scheduled event), nextEvent (only the next occurrence of each selected type/release), fomcMeetings (one row per FOMC meeting with its documents)
eventTypes	string[]	empty = every entry	statisticalRelease, fomcMeeting, fomcMinutes, fomcPressConference, beigeBook, speech, holiday, other — see Event types. Ignored in fomcMeetings
releaseCodes	string[]	empty = every release	16 codes, see Statistical releases. A row without a code (an FOMC day, a speech) is dropped when this filter is set
titleContains	string	empty	Free text, case-insensitive, e.g. industrial production, minutes, bowman. For a speech or testimony the topic line and the speaker name count as part of the title
dateFrom	string	today (Eastern)	YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. Month pages exist from January 2025 onwards
dateTo	string	dateFrom + withinDays	YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. A window reaching past the last published month is trimmed and the run says which month is missing
withinDays	integer	60	1–730. Used only when dateFrom and dateTo are empty: today up to N days ahead. Every 30 days of window costs about one extra page fetch
fomcYears	string[]	empty = every listed year	2021 … 2027 (what the page lists today). fomcMeetings only
onlyProjectionMeetings	boolean	false	fomcMeetings only: keep the quarterly meetings that publish the Summary of Economic Projections
onlyUpcoming	boolean	false	Drop events whose moment has passed. nextEvent always applies it
onlyNew	boolean	false	Output only entries that were not seen in the previous run of the same filter set
sortOrder	string	soonest	soonest (earliest first) or latest
maxItems	integer	50	1–2000. A calendar month is roughly 60 rows, because H.15 and CP publish on every business day
fields	string[]	all fields	Keep only these output fields, in this order, e.g. ["title", "eventDate", "eventDateTimeUtc"]

Filters combine with AND and only ever narrow a run. An unknown event type or release code ends the run with the list of valid values instead of quietly returning everything; an obvious typo (speeches, h15, calender) is corrected and the correction is logged and written to SUMMARY.

Reference

Event types

Value	What it looks like on the calendar
statisticalRelease	H.15 - Selected Interest Rates, G.17 - Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization, the two loan-officer surveys — the Statistical Releases section
fomcMeeting	FOMC Meeting, with the note "Two-day meeting, October 27 - 28"
fomcMinutes	FOMC Minutes, with the note naming the meeting the minutes belong to
fomcPressConference	FOMC Press Conference, usually with the Board's live-broadcast link
beigeBook	Beige Book, eight times a year, two weeks before a meeting
speech	Speech - Governor …, Discussion - Vice Chair for Supervision … and the Testimony section (a congressional hearing is the same kind of event risk)
holiday	Holiday - Columbus Day with the note about which day the daily and weekly releases move to
other	Board meetings, conferences, announcements — anything else the calendar prints

The printed section heading is always kept in section, so you can tell a speech from a testimony.

Statistical releases

Code	Release	Cadence
CP	Commercial Paper	every business day
H.15	Selected Interest Rates	every business day
H.4.1	Factors Affecting Reserve Balances	weekly, Thursday
H.8	Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks in the U.S.	weekly, Friday
H.10	Foreign Exchange Rates (weekly)	weekly, Monday
G.5	Foreign Exchange Rates (monthly)	monthly
G.17	Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization	monthly
G.19	Consumer Credit	monthly
G.20	Finance Companies	monthly, publication date approximate
H.6	Money Stock Measures	monthly
Z.1	Financial Accounts of the United States	quarterly
SLOOS	Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices	quarterly
SCOOS	Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey on Dealer Financing Terms	quarterly
E.2	Survey of Terms of Business Lending	quarterly, no entry on this calendar
CHGDEL	Charge-Off and Delinquency Rates	quarterly, no entry on this calendar
DSR	Household Debt Service and Financial Obligations Ratios	quarterly, no entry on this calendar

The three marked codes are real Board releases that the event calendar does not schedule; asking for them returns no rows and the run log says so. A release the Board prints with a code we do not list still comes back in an unfiltered run, with the printed code in releaseCode.

FOMC years and meeting flags

The meeting calendar currently lists 2021 to 2027 (57 meetings). The Board adds the next year in summer and moves years older than about five to its historical pages, which this actor does not read. isProjectionMeeting is the Board's asterisk — the meeting publishes the Summary of Economic Projections ("dot plot"). isUnscheduled marks an entry such as August 22 (notation vote), a decision taken between scheduled meetings. Document fields stay null until the Board publishes them: the statement on the last meeting day, the minutes three weeks later.

Examples

Next FOMC meeting dates for 2026 and 2027

{ "mode": "fomcMeetings", "fomcYears": ["2026", "2027"], "onlyUpcoming": true, "maxItems": 20 }

The whole FOMC block for the next four months (meeting, press conference, minutes)

{ "mode": "calendar", "eventTypes": ["fomcMeeting", "fomcMinutes", "fomcPressConference"], "withinDays": 120, "maxItems": 20 }

One month of banking and activity data

{ "mode": "calendar", "eventTypes": ["statisticalRelease"], "releaseCodes": ["G.17", "H.8", "G.19", "Z.1", "H.4.1"], "dateFrom": "2026-10-01", "dateTo": "2026-10-31", "maxItems": 40 }

Next publication of each indicator, one row each

{ "mode": "nextEvent", "eventTypes": ["statisticalRelease"], "releaseCodes": ["G.17", "G.19", "H.8", "H.6", "Z.1", "H.15"], "maxItems": 10 }

Scheduled Board appearances as event risk

{ "mode": "calendar", "eventTypes": ["speech"], "dateFrom": "2026-09-01", "dateTo": "2026-11-30", "maxItems": 30 }

A fixed window is the safer input here: the Board announces appearances only days ahead, so a forward window such as withinDays: 45 can legitimately come back thin or empty.

Document links of a full year of meetings, trimmed to what a pipeline needs

{ "mode": "fomcMeetings", "fomcYears": ["2026"], "fields": ["meetingStartDate", "statementUrl", "minutesUrl", "minutesReleasedOn"], "maxItems": 12 }

  "fetchedAt": "2026-09-27T23:01:14.017Z"
}

Field	Type	Meaning / when it is empty

meetingYear	number	Year block the meeting is listed under
eventDate	string	Same as meetingStartDate, so rows of all three modes share a date field
isUpcoming	boolean	The meeting has not finished yet
isProjectionMeeting	boolean	The Board's asterisk: Summary of Economic Projections is published
hasPressConference	boolean	True once the Board has published the press-conference page for the meeting
isUnscheduled	boolean	A notation vote or other unscheduled decision
statementUrl, statementPdfUrl	string	Policy statement, HTML and PDF; published on the last meeting day
implementationNoteUrl	string	Implementation note that accompanies the statement
pressConferenceUrl	string	Press-conference page (the Board uses two spellings of the URL; both are handled)
projectionsUrl, projectionsPdfUrl	string	Projection materials, projection meetings only
minutesUrl, minutesPdfUrl	string	Minutes, about three weeks after the meeting
minutesReleasedOn	string	Date the minutes were released, YYYY-MM-DD
agency, url, fetchedAt	string	Source page and fetch time

Every run also writes a SUMMARY record to its key-value store: the filters, which month pages were read, which months the Board has not published, how many entries were parsed and how many rows were written, plus any input correction.

For monitoring, schedule a task with onlyNew: true and the filters you care about; the first run returns everything it finds, later runs return only entries that are new or have moved. A run that finds no change writes no rows and still succeeds — that is the expected result for a change feed, and it is why onlyNew belongs in a scheduled task rather than in a one-off query. The state is kept per filter set, so two tasks with different filters never consume each other's changes. Use fields to keep rows small — the examples above trim a row to four keys.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 when a run starts, plus $0.002 per dataset row. Every run is charged the start event, also a run that returns no rows. Row prices are lower on paid Apify plans (Bronze $0.0018, Silver $0.0016, Gold and above $0.0014); the start event stays $0.001.

Worked examples at the free-plan price:

• Ten upcoming FOMC meetings (fomcMeetings, onlyUpcoming): $0.001 + 10 × $0.002 = $0.021.
• A week of all Fed events, 25 rows: $0.001 + 25 × $0.002 = $0.051.
• The default run, 50 rows of the next 60 days: $0.001 + 50 × $0.002 = $0.101.

Runs are short and cheap in compute: at 256 MB and two to four static page fetches, the twenty-eight verification runs behind this README finished in 3–13 seconds each.

Limits & FAQ

• Coverage of the event calendar. The Board publishes month pages from January 2025 to the end of the current year (December 2026 today). A window that reaches further gets the months that exist, and the run log and SUMMARY name the missing month; a window entirely outside the published range ends with a message naming the covered range. Older months stay reachable through the Board's calendar archive, which this actor does not read.
• Coverage of the meeting calendar. 2021–2027 today. Meetings beyond the last listed year do not exist yet: the Board announces the next year in summer, and dates stay tentative until confirmed at the preceding meeting.
• Times. Exactly as printed, in US Eastern time, converted to UTC with the offset in force on that date, so the daylight-saving switch in March and November is handled. Entries the Board prints without a time (holidays, the approximate G.20 date) keep eventTimeEt and eventDateTimeUtc empty rather than guessing a time.
• Repeating entries. The calendar prints one row per release with a list of day numbers ("1, 2, 5, 6, …"). Each of those days becomes its own dataset row, which is why one month of H.15 is 21 rows.
• Holidays. Returned as their own rows with the Board's note about which day the daily and weekly releases move to; the release rows themselves already show the moved dates.
• Approximate dates. G.20 is published on an approximate date; the note says so and is kept in note.
• No indicator values. This is a schedule. It does not carry actual, forecast or previous numbers, and it does not carry FOMC rate probabilities.
• What is not fetched. Only www.federalreserve.gov is requested. Live-stream links that point elsewhere (a Federal Reserve Bank, a university, a video platform) are stored as strings in detailUrl/liveUrl and never opened.
• Speeches are announced late. The Board usually posts an appearance a few days to two weeks ahead, so a speech-only window can be thin, and a future month may have no speeches listed at all yet.
• Rescheduling. The Board does move dates. onlyNew treats a changed moment as a new entry, which makes a scheduled task a change feed.
• Empty results. A filter that matches nothing returns zero rows with a log line saying how many entries were read and what to widen — an invalid filter value fails instead, with the list of valid values.
• Politeness. Two to four page requests per run, retries with backoff on throttling, a normal User-Agent. Board content is in the public domain.
