Retrieving Economic Data

[sobcza11]

Hello world,

This is my first GitHub "issue comment" so my apologies if any mistake.

I am not reporting an issue, I am reporting a desire to be able to pull economic data from investing.com.

We can currently pull commodities, bonds, stock etc data but I would like to pull economic data as well; examples below:

https://www.investing.com/economic-calendar/m2-money-stock-366

https://www.investing.com/economic-calendar/ism-manufacturing-pmi-173

This data is useful to me as I can paint a macro view before getting involved with assets.

Again, this is my first post so my apologies if I did not do it properly.

Hi @sobcza11! As I already told you via LinkedIn, I'll be working on this for the next investpy release, and after some time thinking about how to tackle this I may create a new function so as to let the users search different economic events using Investing.com search engine, something similar to the functionality implemented in investpy.search_quotes().

So on, you should expect something similar to the following functionality implemented in the next investpy release:

import investpy

event = investpy.search_events(text="Japan M2 Money Stock YoY", n_results=1)
print(event)
>>> All the event information etc.

Anyway, make sure to watch this issue as I'll be giving you all the updates from here! 👍🏻

Thanks! I look forward to the release! Cheers again!

I'd like this feature also. The raw data is available in JSON format here using the Economic Event ID (eg 1013 for Australian GDP growth)
