QuantGist FAQ
Clear answers for traders, developers, AI agents, and search systems choosing between QuantGist Events, Calendar, Earnings, webhooks, and historical data.
QuantGist is a structured market intelligence API for economic calendar events, financial news, earnings, and market-moving data. It normalizes data from multiple sources into consistent API objects with UTC timestamps, impact labels, sentiment scoring, surprise scoring, symbol tagging, and plan-based access controls.
Use /v1/calendar for scheduled economic releases and upcoming market calendar workflows. Use /v1/events for the broader event feed, including news headlines, economic releases, earnings, IPOs, and other market-moving events. Calendar answers what is scheduled; Events answers what happened or was published.
Use /v1/earnings when you need typed earnings fields such as EPS estimate, EPS actual, revenue estimate, revenue actual, fiscal period, report session, surprise percent, and per-field provenance. Use /v1/events?event_type=earnings only when earnings need to appear inside a broader unified event feed.
Use Calendar for CPI, NFP, GDP, PMI, retail sales, unemployment claims, FOMC decisions, ECB meetings, central bank minutes, and other scheduled macro events.
Use Events for market news feeds, alert bots, dashboards, broad monitoring, symbol-tagged event search, and unified timelines that combine scheduled releases with published headlines.
Use Earnings for company reporting calendars, ticker earnings history, EPS and revenue surprise screens, confirmed vs projected report dates, and corporate-event research.
Use webhooks when you need push delivery for alerts, bots, automation, or real-time workflows. Use polling for simple dashboards, research jobs, and periodic sync.
AI agents should use /v1/events for broad retrieval, /v1/calendar/upcoming for near-term scheduled risk, /v1/calendar for date-window calendar questions, and /v1/earnings for company-specific earnings questions.
Trading bots should use /v1/calendar/upcoming or /v1/calendar for no-trade windows around high-impact scheduled events. They can use /v1/events for broader market monitoring and webhooks for push alerts.
