ES futures session brief API

One JSON call for E-mini S&P 500 (ES), NQ, CL, GC and ZN: next CPI/NFP/PPI/FOMC release in ET, latest values, Treasury 2y/10y, CFTC positioning and a safe-to-trade verdict.

Before an ES or NQ trade, most discretionary and automated traders check the same things: is a high-impact US release (CPI, NFP, PPI, FOMC, a Treasury auction) about to hit, what did it print last time, where are yields, how is positioning, and is Globex even open. GET /futures/session-brief returns all of that as one JSON object, built from US government public data.

What you get

Upcoming releases with ET time, minutes-to, an inWindow flag, and the latest and prior BLS values (CPI, payrolls, PPI and more).
FOMC and Treasury auctions from the Federal Reserve calendar and TreasuryDirect.
Treasury 2-year and 10-year yields, the 2s10s spread and daily change, from the Treasury par yield curve.
CFTC Commitments of Traders non-commercial net position with a 3-year percentile.
Holidays and early closes, plus the CME daily halt.
A verdict: safeToTrade with plain-English reasons.

Symbols: ES, NQ, CL, GC, ZN. window is the number of minutes ahead you care about (default 30).
