About Trading Economics
Trading Economics provides macroeconomic and market indicators for countries worldwide, covering GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates and many more historical series through one REST API.
clariBI reads Trading Economics through its historical API using your own key: the time series of the indicators you choose, for the country you set. You enter the indicator names (for example gdp or inflation rate), and the connector reads the series read-only. The key is stored encrypted.

What clariBI syncs
clariBI pulls the historical series of the indicators you select through the Trading Economics REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it once it is more than a day old. Access is read-only.
For each selected indicator, clariBI syncs the historical value for the country you choose, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your Trading Economics account.
What you can chart
- Value per indicator over your chosen window
- Long-run trend and turning points by country
- Period-over-period change in an indicator
- Comparison across the indicators you track
- Macro context lined up with your revenue periods
How to connect Trading Economics
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources > Add Data Source, find Trading Economics, and paste your Trading Economics key in the form client:secret (from tradingeconomics.com). The key is stored encrypted.
Choose indicators and country
Enter the indicator names to track (for example gdp or inflation rate) and set the country. clariBI pulls the historical series and reads it read-only.
Sync, then get dashboards
clariBI syncs the values, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did inflation track our pricing?" and clariBI reads the synced indicators alongside your business data.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "How much of our growth tracked the wider economy?"
- "Did local inflation outpace our price increases?"
