QuantGist v1 is Live — The Economic Calendar API Built for Traders

Today we're opening the QuantGist v1 API to the public. After months of building, we have a structured economic calendar + market events API designed for the way traders actually work — not the way data vendors think they do.

What's in v1

Economic calendar with 10,000+ macro events (NFP, CPI, FOMC, GDP, PCE, and more)
Real-time release tracking with is_released, has_actual, and missing_fields quality flags on every row
News headlines with auto-tagged currency symbols
Earnings calendar backed by Alpha Vantage + SEC EDGAR filings
Market snapshots (SPY, QQQ, DIA, major forex pairs, commodities) refreshed every 15 minutes
v2 namespace for backtesting-grade data with ?as_of= point-in-time queries

Highlight

Macro Shortcuts — No more guessing event titles

The biggest quality-of-life improvement: /v1/macro/* shortcuts so you don't need to know how events are titled in the database.

bash

# Get the latest NFP release — no need to know the exact event title
curl 'https://api.quantgist.com/v1/macro/latest?event=NFP' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY'

# What's coming up in the next 14 days for CPI, NFP, and FOMC?
curl 'https://api.quantgist.com/v1/macro/calendar?events=CPI,NFP,FOMC&days=14' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY'

Supported aliases: NFP, CPI, PCE, FOMC, GDP, UNEMPLOYMENT, RETAIL_SALES, PPI, ISM, ECB, HICP

Data quality flags on every row

Every event row now carries computed quality flags so your code never has to guess whether a release has landed yet or whether a field is missing:

json

{
  "title": "US Non-Farm Payrolls",
  "actual": "177000",
  "forecast": "138000",
  "is_released": true,
  "has_actual": true,
  "has_forecast": true,
  "missing_fields": []
}

Filter for released events with actuals in one line: ?is_released=true&has_actual=true
