#2319 Add tap-fxmacrodata Pull request opened by roberttidball Adds an SDK-based extractor for FXMacroData: official macroeconomic, FX and release-calendar data for 18 currencies, aggregated from central banks and national statistics agencies. Repo: https://github.com/fxmacrodata/tap-fxmacrodata Streams | Stream | Grain | Replication | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------- | | announcements | one record per release of one indicator | incremental on date | | release_calendar | scheduled and recent releases | full table | | data_catalogue | indicators a currency publishes | full table | | forex_rates | daily reference rate for a pair | incremental on date | Every

announcements

record carries

announcement_datetime

, the instant the figure was published. Most macro sources give a value and a reference date, which quietly invites lookahead — the figure for March was not knowable in March — so keeping the publication instant is the point of the stream.

announcements

and

forex_rates

are partitioned per series, so state is held per currency/indicator and per pair rather than for the stream as a whole. Trying it without credentials USD macro data is public, so the tap runs with no API key: { "currencies": ["USD"], "indicators": ["inflation", "policy_rate"], "start_date": "2020-01-01T000000Z" } A key widens it to the other seventeen currencies, the full history and FX, and is sent as a header. A currency the key does not cover logs a warning and yields no rows rather than failing the run, so a mixed currency list stays usable. How this definition was produced

hub-utils add --repo-url <https://github.com/fxmacrodata/tap-fxmacrodata>

installed the tap from the

pip_url

correctly, then failed at the settings scrape with

[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

— it could not locate the installed executable on Windows. The definition is therefore written from the tap's own

--about --format=json

output, using the same transformation, and validated against

schemas/plugin_definitions/extractors.schema.json

. Happy to regenerate it with the tool if a maintainer on Linux would rather have it produced that way. Also updates

_data/default_variants.yml

and

_data/maintainers.yml

, both placed alphabetically. meltano/hub
