Seven of these nine update themselves — jobless claims, continued claims, gas prices, card delinquency and sentiment come straight from FRED, three of them weekly — murders from the Real-Time Crime Index — which exists because the FBI publishes nine months late — and gun purchases from FBI NICS, rebuilt into a clean monthly series by the Data Liberation Project. Two don't yet: SNAP (USDA publishes spreadsheets, no API) and personal bankruptcies (US Courts publishes tables, six weeks after quarter end). Their figures here are the latest published — sourced, dated, and not guessed. A parser is needed to automate them; until it exists and can prove its own reading, no robot writes them.
