How this service works
US Bureau of Labor Statistics time-series data. Pass seriesIds = comma-separated BLS series IDs (1-10 per call), optional startYear + endYear bracket (max 10 years). Each observation: year, period (M01-M12 monthly, Q01-Q04 quarterly, A01 annual, S01/S02 semiannual), periodName, value (verbatim string from BLS) + numericValue (parsed number), latest flag, footnote texts. Common series IDs: LNS14000000 (unemployment rate), CUUR0000SA0 (CPI-U all items), CES0000000001 (nonfarm employment), LNS11300000 (labor force participation). Unauthenticated upstream — ~25 queries/day per IP.
Output
An array of observations per series ID, each containing year, period code (e.g. M01-M12, Q01-Q04, A01), period name, verbatim BLS value string, parsed numeric value, a flag indicating if it is the latest data point, and any associated footnote texts.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull me the monthly unemployment rate (LNS14000000) and CPI-U all items (CUUR0000SA0) from BLS for 2020 through 2024 so I can compare inflation and joblessness trends over those five years.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/bls/seriesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured BLS economic time-series data — unemployment, CPI, employment, labor force participation — without a BLS API key or direct BLS integration. Ideal for quick lookups of standard macro indicators. Prefer over raw BLS API when you want a clean parsed numeric value alongside the verbatim BLS string and footnotes, within a 10-series / 10-year call. Not suitable for bulk historical pulls beyond 10 years or more than 10 series per call.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized BLS series ID returns empty or error response
- Year range exceeding 10 years may be rejected or truncated
- More than 10 series IDs in a single call exceeds the limit
- Rate limit of ~25 queries/day per IP from unauthenticated BLS upstream
- Network timeout if BLS upstream is slow or unavailable
- Non-existent series ID silently returns no observations
