Open Data every artifact, its schema, and how to cite it

The site computes nothing at request time — every page renders JSON the pipeline committed that morning. All of it is public, static, and validated inline against a JSON Schema before it can deploy (a schema-invalid file fails the run). Fetch any file below directly; the schema beside it is the contract. Fields are added, never renamed or removed, so an integration written today keeps working.

Base URL https://macrogauge.vercel.app/data/ · updated each weekday morning (see /status for the run) · licence: MacroGauge-computed values (indexes, blends, nowcasts, composites, grades) are free to use with attribution — cite as MacroGauge <series>, <as-of>, 2018-01=100, <value> — https://macrogauge.vercel.app/<page> (the Copy button under every headline number produces this string). Source observations republished alongside them (BLS, BEA, FRED/ALFRED, EIA, Treasury, Census, USDA and the private sources listed on /methodology) remain subject to each provider's own terms — check those before redistributing raw source series. The append-only vintage store behind the numbers is in the repository; Point in Time reads the publish ledger.
