-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Narwhal Free includes 3,000 successful requests each month and permits commercial apps. Use that allowance for a dashboard, scheduled data fetches or an agent integration. Move to Basic for 100,000 monthly requests as usage grows, with the same account and authentication.
REST and hosted MCP reach the same data through one account. Your application can fetch JSON while an agent uses the hosted tools, with every successful call counted once against the shared allowance. One quota makes the combined workload straightforward to budget.
Narwhal's economics catalogue spans 36 countries, with a coverage table for each indicator. Country and indicator paths organize requests around the data your application uses. Combine observations with FX, public holidays and release dates to build country dashboards through the same account.
EODHD is the better pick for broad global market coverage, commodities or research using its economic event archive from 2020. Its calendar supports country, date and event-type filters, alongside the provider's market-data products. Economic events are included in the Fundamentals Data Feed and All-In-One plans. Personal and commercial plans are separate, so the individual plan prices shown here describe personal-use access.
Yes. Narwhal Free includes 3,000 successful requests per month, commercial app use and both REST and hosted MCP access. The same account covers release calendars, public holidays and country indicators for your application.
Equity Analyst, the Fundamentals Data Feed plan, includes economic events at $59.99 per month; All-In-One also includes them. Each event request consumes one API call, and the plan provides 100,000 calls per day. Historian covers a different endpoint family, so its $19.99 price is not the price of this calendar job.
Replace the request URL and authentication, then map the JSON response into your application's fields. The examples use standard fetch in JavaScript and requests in Python, so integration fits an ordinary HTTP client. Keep your key on the server and carry the response's units, dates and missing values into your display or calculations.
The shared cap applies to successful REST and MCP requests together. There are no automatic overage charges. Basic includes 100,000 monthly requests; quotas reset each month even when you pay yearly.
The comparison uses Narwhal's current public contract and the following first-party competitor pages.
