How this service works
Free macroeconomic data API powered by FRED. 816,000+ economic time series. GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and more.
Output
A JSON object with a 'source' field identifying the data source and a 'releases' array containing release objects from FRED, each describing an available economic data release publication (e.g. GDP, CPI, unemployment). The number of results is bounded by the limit parameter (default 20). When dates=true, only date values are returned.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you pull the list of the first 10 FRED macroeconomic data releases — just the dates, not the full release details?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://fredthom.vercel.app/api/releasesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover or enumerate what economic data releases are available via FRED (816,000+ series) — especially useful for building release schedules, browsing available macroeconomic indicators, or paginating through available reports. Prefer this over direct FRED API access when you want a pre-integrated, pay-per-call wrapper with no API key management.
Side effects
- Invalid limit value (non-numeric string) may cause unexpected truncation or error
- Empty releases array if FRED upstream is unavailable
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient before call proceeds
- Timeout if FRED data pipeline is slow or unresponsive
- Malformed response if Vercel serverless function cold-starts under load
