REST APIFinance & Macro

Alpha Vantage Economic Indicators API (REST)

Alpha Vantage Economic Indicators API (REST) is a rest api from Alpha Vantage providing finance & macro data. Alpha Vantage offers a free REST API suite that includes US macroeconomic indicators — CPI, federal funds rate, treasury yields, nonfarm payroll, GDP, unemployment and more — alongside its equities/FX/crypto data. A Polymarket bot would use it as a low-friction source for prototyping FOMC, CPI, recession and macro-event markets.
