How this service works
x402-powered economic data API. CPI inflation, labor market, GDP, Treasury yields, and energy prices. Pay per query in USDC on Base mainnet.
Output
Returns a set of current and historical U.S. macroeconomic indicator values sourced from the FRED database, including GDP, the federal funds rate, Treasury yields across maturities, housing starts, and retail sales figures, likely as named series with values and dates.
Example use cases
Monitor Fed policy impact on markets
“Check the current federal funds rate and Treasury yields across all maturities from FRED — I'm tracking how recent Fed decisions are affecting the bond market.”
Analyze housing market economic health
“Get me the latest housing starts data and GDP figures from the St. Louis Fed — I need to assess whether the real estate sector is cooling or strengthening.”
Track inflation through retail spending
“Pull recent retail sales and CPI inflation data from FRED for the past year — I'm trying to understand if consumer spending is holding up despite economic pressures.”
