Macro by Mark aggregates macroeconomic data from the world's most trusted statistical agencies and repositories. The notes below summarize public coverage, update patterns, and attribution expectations without treating operational targets as contractual guarantees.
Coverage overview

| Bureau of Labor Statistics | BLS | United States labor, prices, productivity, and regional data | Scheduled releases | Release timing follows BLS publication calendars. |
| Bureau of Economic Analysis | BEA | United States national, regional, and industry accounts | Scheduled releases | Regional detail appears where BEA publishes it. |
| World Bank Open Data | WORLDBANK | Global development indicators | Periodic source refreshes | Useful for cross-country annual panels. |

Exact searchable inventory changes as provider catalogs, access rights, and curation rules change. Use the app's discovery and indicator pages for the current user-facing catalog.
Freshness targets
Freshness targets describe normal expected refresh behavior after a source provider publishes data. They are operational goals, not contractual service level agreements.
Availability depends on provider publication timing, provider API health, access rights, plan access, and Macro by Mark review rules. Check the status page for system health.
How freshness is evaluated
- The source provider publishes new data (e.g., FRED updates a series).
- Macro by Mark detects that a relevant source changed.
- New observations are validated, normalized, and indexed.
- The data becomes available on the product surfaces that support that series.
Provider status, attribution, and source timestamps are exposed where they are available and useful for interpretation.
Revision and vintage depth
Revision support varies by provider and dataset. Some sources publish point-in-time histories, some expose revision tags or release notes, and some publish only the latest value.
| Depth | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Source-native point-in-time | The provider publishes historical versions or vintage-aware values. |
| Revision-aware metadata | The product can surface revision dates, release notes, or source update metadata. |
| Current published value | The source exposes the latest published value without a usable vintage history. |
API responses include revision and vintage fields when the selected series supports them.
Subnational coverage
Several providers publish data at the state, province, NUTS-region, or
prefecture level. When subnational data exists, the app surfaces it through
country and indicator selectors, and the discovery endpoint accepts a
subdivision filter.
| Classification system | Code prefix | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| US states | us_state | 50 states + DC + territories (BLS, BEA-regional, FRED) |
| US Census regions / divisions | us_region, us_division | 4 regions + 9 divisions |
| US metro areas | us_metro | BEA-regional MSAs |
| EU NUTS-1 / NUTS-2 / NUTS-3 | nuts1, nuts2, nuts3 | Eurostat regional and sub-regional series |
| Canadian provinces | ca_province | Statistics Canada cubes (10 provinces + 3 territories) |
| Australian states | au_state | ABS state and territory rollups |
| Japanese prefectures | jp_prefecture | E-Stat prefectural surveys |
| Mexican states | mx_state | INEGI state-level series |
| South Korean provinces | kr_province | KOSTAT provincial accounts |
| Additional systems | (varies) | Brazilian states, Indian states/UTs, German Bundesländer, French regions, Italian regions, Spanish autonomous communities, Indonesian provinces, Philippine regions, Polish voivodeships, Swiss cantons, and more, as adapter coverage grows |
The indicator detail page automatically renders a "Subnational" panel under the country switcher when the catalog has subdivision data for the selected country and indicator, so users can drill down without constructing a query string by hand.
