Trading Economics: scrapers and the official API, compared

Route map

Each line is one way to get Trading Economics data; each stop is a field you probably need. Green lines are catalogue Actors, ranked by the published formula.

Field matrix: who returns what

Every tool with a published output schema, against the 7 fields most Trading Economics jobs need. A dot means the field name appears in the schema; rows can still leave it empty.

Field dictionary: the exact keys

The same core field has a different key in each Actor's output. Map these before you merge datasets; a dash means the published schema has no matching key. Need a field that is not listed here, such as email? Search every Trading Economics Actor by field.

All 9 tools, scored

Catalogue Actors link to their detail pages; the score (0 to 100) is the published formula, identical for every tool. Other Store tools follow in their own table, for reference. Price is the published primary-result rate per 1,000 (the Free-plan rate where the price is tiered; higher Apify plans pay less); start events and platform usage are excluded.

Other Store tools, for reference

3. Run it and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the Apify API.
