econ.fred-releases

The US economic-data release CALENDAR — when official economic reports are published, from the Federal Reserve's FRED. Returns upcoming release dates (date, release name, FRED release id), starting from `from` (default today), ascending. Filter by name to find a specific report's schedule (e.g. name="Consumer Price Index" → the next CPI dates; "Employment Situation" → jobs report; "Gross Domestic Product"; "FOMC"), or by releaseId. Free, public-domain (FRED). Future release dates an LLM cannot possibly know — essential for trading, scheduling, and macro-monitoring agents that need to act around data drops. Pair with econ.fred to pull the actual numbers once a release is out.

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/econ/fred-releases?from=2024-01-01&name=example&releaseId=1&limit=1'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/econ/fred-releases?from=2024-01-01&name=example&releaseId=1&limit=1' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'
