Global macroeconomic context series compiled from international bodies — cross-country reference readings alongside the Taiwan-market datasets.

← Global macro overview

VerifiedSource: International·Plan: enterprise·Cost: 2 credits·GET /v2/datasets/macro-global

Global macro is a Taiwan market dataset sourced from International, served by TW Market Data as GET /v2/datasets/macro-global.

Overview

macro-global returns one row per indicator per period for global macro series compiled from international bodies. It is international-source context to sit alongside the Taiwan-market data, not a TWSE feed; each row carries its source role and lineage so the upstream authority is explicit.

Field	Type	Description
`series_id`	string
`series_name`	string
`obs_date`	string
`value`	number	Indicator value for the period.
`unit`	string
`freq`	string
`source_group`	string
`release_role`	string

Example response

A real response from this endpoint. Rows are returned under "data", and provenance is carried in the shape shown below — it is not identical across datasets, so read this page's rather than assuming another's.

Chinese data values are shown as a marker here so this page stays in English; the /zh page shows them verbatim.

Provenance

These columns are returned alongside the data and record where the row came from. They are provenance, not the dataset's subject matter, so they are listed here rather than in the field table.

OpenAPI

This endpoint is GET /v2/datasets/macro-global. The full machine-readable schema (parameters, security, response envelope) lives in the OpenAPI spec.

Notes & limitations

This is international-source macro context, not TWSE market data — use it to frame the Taiwan datasets, not as an exchange feed.
For this macro dataset the symbol param is an indicator code (e.g. gdp_growth), not a stock ticker.
Coverage was recently extended with the US Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the Broad US Dollar Index (DTWEXBGS). The US GDP series (GDP, GDPC1) were recalibrated to billions of USD in July 2026 to match the upstream FRED units.
