How this service works
Free macroeconomic data API powered by FRED. 816,000+ economic time series. GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and more.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'source' field identifying the data provider and a 'comparison' object containing aligned time-series observations for each requested FRED series ID, enabling side-by-side analysis of multiple economic indicators.
Example use cases
Inflation vs interest rate correlation
“Pull the last 24 observations of the federal funds rate (FEDFUNDS) and CPI inflation (CPIAUCSL) from FRED and show them side by side so I can see how rate hikes tracked against inflation.”
Recession indicator dashboard
“Compare GDP (GDPC1), unemployment (UNRATE), and retail sales (RSAFS) using the last 12 observations each — I want to see how these three indicators moved together during recent downturns.”
Yield curve analysis
“Can you pull the 2-year Treasury yield (DGS2) and 10-year Treasury yield (DGS10) from FRED and compare their last 30 observations? I'm watching the yield curve spread.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://fathoms.vercel.app/api/compareWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to compare multiple FRED economic indicators simultaneously in a single call rather than fetching them one at a time. It is ideal for correlation analysis, dashboard building, or economic research requiring aligned time-series data across 2–5 series. Prefer it over single-series endpoints when cross-indicator comparison is the explicit goal.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized FRED series ID returns an error or missing data for that series
- Requesting fewer than 2 or more than 5 series IDs may be rejected or produce incomplete results
- FRED data unavailability or rate limits on the upstream source can cause empty or partial responses
- Non-numeric or malformed 'limit' parameter may default to 10 or cause a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 response before data is returned
