Trading Economics Economic Calendar Streaming (WebSocket)

Trading Economics Economic Calendar Streaming (WebSocket) is a websocket from Trading Economics providing finance & macro data. A persistent WebSocket feed that pushes economic-calendar releases (CPI, NFP/jobs, GDP, FOMC rate decisions, etc.) the instant a figure prints, including the actual value alongside consensus forecast and prior. A Polymarket bot can subscribe to the calendar channel and react to macro surprises before markets fully reprice FOMC/CPI/recession markets.
