Only data whose publishers allow business use is stored, and each answer carries the credit they require.
Where the data comes from, and why you can trust it
Official public sources only
Every number is downloaded directly from the organization that publishes it: US government agencies (Labor, Commerce, Census, BEA, Energy, Treasury, IRS, FDA, CDC, USDA, SEC, USGS, NOAA, CFTC, FHFA, Army Corps of Engineers), the Federal Reserve and the World Bank. Published values are stored as released; unit conversions are disclosed. Anything Skyread calculates (combined measures, shares, comparisons, today's-dollar restatements) is labelled, with its method shown.
Licensed for business use
Skyread stores only data whose publishers' terms allow commercial use and resale, and every answer carries the source credit those terms require. A few well-known series are tagged Not stored: get it from the source: their publishers do not allow storing or reselling them, so each shows where and how to get it yourself.
Check any number yourself
Each metric has a Verify at source link to the publisher's own page, and a Raw data link to the exact file or API response the gateway reads. Every past version is kept, so revisions are traceable.
