# Market Intelligence API – Economic Calendar

> Market Intelligence API – Economic Calendar is a paid API for AI agents from api.marketintelligenceapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Returns upcoming high-impact macroeconomic events (US CPI, jobs report, PCE, GDP, PPI, JOLTS, FOMC, ECB rate decisions) with UTC timestamps and importance ratings to help traders avoid entering positions before major releases.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability market-intelligence-api-economic-calendar-2cffaf93
```

Example prompt: Before I open this position, check the economic calendar and tell me if any high-impact events like CPI, FOMC, or jobs report are coming up in the next 48 hours that I should avoid trading around.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to check the official macroeconomic event calendar before placing a trade or answering a question about upcoming market-moving events. Prefer this over general financial news APIs because it pulls from official government and central bank calendars (BLS, BEA, FOMC, ECB) and returns structured event timing and importance data specifically designed for pre-trade risk checks.

## Known failure modes

- No upcoming events in the near-term window may return an empty list
- Stale calendar data if upstream official sources haven't published upcoming dates yet
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout on the external API resulting in a 5xx error

## How this service works

Economic calendar and macro events ($0.005): next market-moving releases in UTC with importance from official calendars - US CPI, jobs report, PCE, GDP, PPI and JOLTS (BLS, BEA), FOMC and ECB rate decisions. Use before opening a position; avoid entering right before a high-impact release.

## Output

A list of upcoming macro-economic events sourced from official calendars (BLS, BEA, FOMC, ECB), each with the event name, scheduled UTC datetime, and an importance/impact rating, allowing the agent to warn users about imminent market-moving releases before they enter a trade.
