Summary
Economic series, current, by ID.
It does one thing: return the observations of a named FRED series. That is what most questions about inflation, unemployment or rates actually need, and it is the part a model cannot answer from memory.
What it is
A reader for the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis's FRED data, built on the series_observations endpoint. Give it a series ID and the time series comes back, with the API's own parameters for date range, ordering and units available on the same call.
What you get
- Any FRED series fetched by its ID, as dated observations
- The API's own filters on the same call — date range, sort order, unit transformations
- Figures read from the source rather than from a model's memory of them
Requirements
A FRED API key from the St. Louis Fed, set in a .env file, and uv or pip to run the server.
