Discovery Catalog

The Indicators endpoints serve curated, normalized data. But the platform ingests far more series than it curates. The Discovery catalog gives you access to the full raw inventory from every connected provider.

When to use Discovery vs. Indicators

Use Indicators when you want clean, comparable data with standardized metadata, release tracking, and vintage support.

Use Discovery when you're looking for a specific provider series that hasn't been curated yet, or when you want to browse the full breadth of what's available.

Searching the catalog

curl -G https://macrobymark.com/api/indicators/discover \
  --data-urlencode "q=consumer price index" \
  --data-urlencode "provider=eurostat" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

The discovery search uses PostgreSQL full-text search across 2M+ series. You can filter by provider, frequency, and geo.

Requesting curation

Found a series you need in the curated layer? Submit a curation request:

curl -X POST https://macrobymark.com/api/indicators/curation-requests \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"provider": "eurostat", "seriesKey": "PRC_HICP_MANR__CP00__M__EU"}'

Curation requests are reviewed and prioritized by demand.
