  • Ports: daily port calls and estimated import and export volumes for 2,000+ ports, since 2019.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the data?

Everything is delivered on your FinzData API key: connect FinzData to Claude, ChatGPT or Grok and ask in plain English, or call GET https://api.finzdata.com/v1/pulse/{dataset} from your own code.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Every key, including the free AI preview, gets the last 30 days of every pulse dataset.

What does it cost?

Global Macro Pulse is $195, one-time, for every dataset and its full history. Single themes are $29 each: Shipping, ports & cargo; Air traffic; Road & toll traffic; Asia tech exports. With Macro Complete or any data purchase, the pulse is $145.

Is it point-in-time?

Yes. Each row is what was known on that day, so backtests do not see the future.
