Step #1

https://docs.tradingeconomics.com/

Rules
We will pick the most interesting example/app at the end of the contest
You can submit more than one example and we will consider the one we think is the best.
Only original content only. Please!

Considerations
Developer accounts are free but they only have access to a limited number of datasets. This includes all data from the Worldbank, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve, the EUROSTAT, etc. Only premium accounts have access to all the latest stats in national indicators, to our economic calendar and to real time market quotes. Therefore, you have two choices. You need to use your key and those free datasets in your examples. Or you can use a guest:guest account and try to get some limited premium data as stated in our API docs and in our GitHub examples.

The Trading Economics Application Programming Interface
The API provides direct access to our data. It allows users to download millions of rows of historical data, to query our real-time economic calendar and to subscribe to updates. Providing several request methods to query our databases, with samples available in different programming languages, it is the best way to export data in XML, CSV or JSON format. The API can be used to feed a custom developed application, a public website or just off-the-shelf software like Microsoft Excel.
