SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fetch macroeconomic data via the backend FRED proxy when users need macro series instead of microstructure data. This skill provides access to CPI, unemployment, GDP, rates, release calendars, and updates without exposing raw vendor API keys.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FRED proxy access: Retrieve macro series data through a secure backend proxy.
  • Series discovery and fetch: Use endpoints to search for series, pull observations, and retrieve series metadata.
  • Release calendar access: Resolve release names and fetch upcoming dates.
  • Use Case: When a user asks for CPI, UNRATE, or DGS10 values, fetch them via the proxy and return concise results.

Quick Start

Ask me to fetch a macro series (e.g., CPI) through the FRED proxy and return the latest value.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch macroeconomic data like CPI or unemployment rates without exposing raw API keys?▼

Fetch macroeconomic data securely by using a backend proxy that handles API authentication. This approach retrieves series like CPI and unemployment without exposing raw vendor API keys.

Can I search for economic series and pull observations through a proxy endpoint?▼

Yes, you can search for economic series and pull observations using proxy endpoints like fred/series/search and fred/series/observations to retrieve specific macro data points.

What's the best way to access the macroeconomic release calendar for upcoming economic data?▼

Access the macroeconomic release calendar by resolving release names and fetching upcoming dates through the fred/releases and fred/release/dates proxy endpoints.

Do I need a specific environment setup to retrieve GDP and interest rate series via a controlled proxy?▼

You need a configured PROXY_BASE_URL and PROXY_API_KEY in your environment to retrieve GDP and interest rate series via the controlled backend proxy.

Why use a proxy for economic data fetching instead of calling the vendor API directly?▼

Using a proxy for economic data fetching secures your raw vendor API keys behind a controlled backend, preventing direct client exposure while still returning macro series observations.
