Experience-Based Impact Analysis
Our Impact field isn't guesswork — it's built on over 5 years of real market movement data. We track actual price reactions and use that historical performance to classify impact with precision.
Outcome
What it measures: The result of an event's data compared to forecast and previous values, influencing market sentiment.
Actual = Forecast = Previous
Strength
What it measures: Weak Data or Strong Data. Weak = old/repeated/low-impact news. Strong = high-impact events with significant deviation.
Quality
What it measures: Good Data or Bad Data. Bad = news hurting the currency/economy. Good = news supporting the currency/economy.
This three-dimensional approach gives you the complete picture: not just "was there impact?" but "what kind, how much, and how reliable?"
Authentication
All API requests require authentication via an API key passed in the Authorization header.
import requests
url = "https://www.jblanked.com/news/api/mql5/calendar/today/"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())import Foundation
let url = URL(string: "https://www.jblanked.com/news/api/mql5/calendar/today/")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.addValue("Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
The News API MCP server is hosted by this website and uses Streamable HTTP. Connect your MCP client to https://www.jblanked.com/news/api/mcp; you do not need to install or run a separate server.
Send your own API key in the Authorization header on every request, using Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY. The server validates the key against this website's API-key records and forwards it to the News API, so existing permissions, rate limits, and usage charges still apply.
Example remote-server settings (client configuration syntax varies):
{
"mcpServers": {
"jblanked-news": {
"url": "https://www.jblanked.com/news/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Available tools cover calendar periods (today, week, month, year, or a date range), event lists and details, event histories, full backtesting data, MQL5 machine-learning results, and MQL5 smart analysis.

| Data handling | Raw provider data is parsed and stored locally on your device. | Returns data from the JBlanked-hosted news dataset. |

| Limits and terms | No JBlanked rate limit applies to app requests. You are responsible for complying with news providers' usage policies. | Rate limits and usage rules depend on the API endpoint and plan. |
