Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) Client==================================================Python client for interfacing with the Federal Reserve Bank'sFRED API. Our goal is to provide a simple, well-documentedsolution for FRED-related programming in Python.For other ways to interface with FRED in Python, see`mortada/fredapi`_ or `zachwill/fred`_ ... _mortada/fredapi: https://github.com/mortada/fredapi.. _zachwill/fred: https://github.com/zachwill/fred.. note:: This is a third-party client that is developed and maintained independently of the Federal Reserve Bank. As such, it is not affiliated with or supported by the institution.Compatibility-------------The Federal Reserve Bank does not provide a versioned API.We constantly monitor the API to ensure that our client iscompatible with FRED. If you notice a compatibility issue,please let use know and we'll work to resolve the issue.Basic usage-------------:: from fred import Fred fr = Fred(api_key='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456',response_type='dict') params = { 'limit':2, 'tag_names':'trade;goods' } res = fr.category.series(125,params=params) for record in res: print(record)Features--------This client was built to provide users with an intuitiveand effective framework for making requests to the FRED APIfrom within Python. As such, our main feature is theability to interact with the FRED web-service.Comprehensive query support~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Request economic data from all 5 data groups available in FRED and ALFRED.For reference, the data groups are included below.See `Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis`_ for additional documentation,or click on a specific query to go directly to documentation for that query... _Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: https://research.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/fred/* **Categories** * `fred/category`_ -

If you prefer raw responses from FRED,so that you can conduct your own response parsing, simply set ``response_type``to *xml* or *json* (standard FRED responses). Otherwise, automaticallytransform data into comma, tab, or pipe separated values,python dictionaries, pandas dataframes, or numpy arrays.For dictionary, dataframe, and array responses, an attempt is made toconvert data to more useful dtypes. For example, ``realtime_start``and ``realtime_end`` response data are automatically convertedfrom a string to *datetime64* numpy dtype. Similarly, countsand IDs (where appropriate) are converted to *int* while observationmeasures are converted to *float*... _fva-label:FRED vs. ALFRED---------------FRED stands for Federal Reserve Economic Data. FRED contains frequentlyupdated US macro and regional economic time series at annual, quarterly,monthly, weekly, and daily frequencies.ALFRED stands for Archival Federal Reserve Economic Data. ALFRED archivesFRED data by adding the real-time period when values were originallyreleased and later revised.FRED and ALFRED use the same web-service. As noted in the `Federal Reserve Bank documentation`_,most users are interested in FRED. As such, default parameters have been selected by the bankto cater to FRED users. If you want to access ALFRED for a given period, simply providethe real-time period by passing the relevant ``realtime_start`` and ``realtime_end``parameters to the function handling your request... _Federal Reserve Bank documentation: https://research.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/fred/fred_vs_alfred.htmlContents--------.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 usage apiLicense-------The MIT License (MIT)Copyright (c) 2016 Aleksandar Velkoski https://github.com/avelkoskiPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copyof this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to dealin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rightsto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sellcopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software isfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included inall copies or substantial portions of the Software.THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS ORIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
