Description:
Provides clean, tidy access to economic data from the 'Federal Reserve Economic Data' ('FRED') API <https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/fred/>. 'FRED' is maintained by the 'Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis' and contains over 800,000 time series from 118 sources covering GDP, employment, inflation, interest rates, trade, and more. Dedicated functions fetch series observations, search for series, browse categories, releases, and tags, and retrieve series metadata. Multiple series can be fetched in a single call. Server-side unit transformations (percent change, log, etc.) and frequency aggregation are supported. Data is cached locally for subsequent calls. This product uses the 'FRED' API but is not endorsed or certified by the 'Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis'.
