Get real time quotes actual vs expected

[Eddie De Meira]

Is there a practical way to get quotes from financial reports in real time? I would like to include events that are triggered by results coming from the financial calendar and on the report results.
How can I retrieve the percentage numbers (actual vs expected) and include these values into my code?

For instance:
On May 28th 2021 at 05:00 AM, the consumer confidence index for Europe was -5.1 (actual), -5.1(forecast) and -8.1(previous).
How do I get these numbers in my C# code?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Hi Eddie, thanks for writing in.

If your data feed supports this instrument, you can make it a custom instrument through Tools>Instruments.

If you do not get this data from the data feed, a third party API would need to be used and you can use the publicly available C# based WebClient class to receive the data in your script:

I do not know of an API that provides this data, it would need to be researched further.
