How this service works
Monthly US producer price indexes for ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (via FRED): the commodity index for ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium compounds and urea, and the nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturing industry index. Index values, not USD spot prices; US Gulf/Tampa spot quotes are not included.
Output
Returns a JSON object with two PPI series: (1) 'ammonia' — BLS commodity index for synthetic ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium compounds and urea (WPU0652013A), and (2) 'nitrogenFertilizerIndustry' — BLS industry index for nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturing (PCU325311325311A). Each series includes a label, the latest observation (date + value), the FRED series ID, and a historical array of date/value pairs for up to 60 months. Index base is December 2014 = 100. Also includes the FRED source URL and a checkedAt timestamp.
Example use cases
Agricultural input cost trend analysis
“Show me the last 12 months of BLS producer price index data for ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing so I can see how input costs have trended for crop producers.”
Fertilizer market inflation monitoring
“Pull the monthly ammonia PPI from FRED for the past 36 months — I need to track inflationary pressure in the US nitrogen fertilizer sector over the last three years.”
Commodity research report data pull
“I'm writing a report on US agricultural chemical prices — can you fetch the latest BLS PPI values for the ammonia commodity index and the nitrogenous fertilizer industry index, including the most recent date and index value?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/ammonia-fertilizer-spot?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need official US government BLS producer price index data for ammonia or nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturing, sourced through FRED, as monthly index values (base Dec 2014 = 100). Prefer this over commodity spot price services when you need a standardized, government-published series for economic analysis, inflation tracking, or input cost modeling. Do not use this if you need real-time USD spot prices (e.g., US Gulf or Tampa ammonia spot quotes) — this endpoint provides index values only.
Side effects
- FRED/BLS data unavailable or rate-limited — may return error or stale data
- months parameter out of range (must be 1–60) may cause validation error
- Data lags: BLS PPI series are released monthly with a delay, so the latest observation may be 1–2 months behind the current date
- Workers.dev infrastructure downtime causing 5xx responses
- No USD spot prices returned — users expecting Gulf/Tampa spot quotes will not find them here
