FRED

The Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API is a public web service operated by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It provides programmatic access to more than 800,000 economic time series drawn from 100+ data sources (BLS, BEA, OECD, World Bank, Census, Treasury, Eurostat, Federal Reserve Board, and others). The API exposes five primary endpoint families — Categories, Releases, Series, Sources, and Tags — plus an Observations endpoint that returns the underlying data values for any series, with optional frequency aggregation, unit transformations, and real-time / ALFRED vintage support. A companion Maps (GeoFRED) API surfaces regional data and GeoJSON shape files. All endpoints are HTTPS, return XML or JSON (CSV / Excel for observations), and require a free API key.

FRED publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Categories API, Observations API, Regional Data API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Finance, Government, Economic Data, Federal Reserve, and Time Series.

The FRED catalog on APIs.io includes 3 JSON-LD contexts and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

FRED’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, GitHub presence, tooling, code examples, and 33 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/fred: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
