How this service works
US producer price index for lumber and wood products (BLS series WPU081, via FRED), monthly index value. This is a price index, not CME Random Length framing lumber futures or spot quotes; the route name is kept for the owner.
Output
A JSON object containing the BLS series identifier (WPU081), the latest index value with its date, a history array of monthly {date, value} records for the requested number of months, the FRED source URL, and a checkedAt timestamp. The unit is a price index (not a dollar spot price or futures price).

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/timber-lumber-random-length?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need the official US Bureau of Labor Statistics producer price index for lumber and wood products (WPU081) as published via FRED, particularly for macroeconomic research, construction cost modeling, or commodity inflation tracking. Note: this is a monthly price index, not CME Random Length Lumber futures prices, spot quotes, or real-time timber market data — if you need futures or spot prices, look elsewhere.
Side effects
- FRED API unavailable — upstream data source outage may return an error or stale data
- Invalid months parameter (outside 1–24 range) — may return a validation error or default to 3 months
- Data lag — BLS PPI is published monthly with a delay, so the latest date may be several weeks behind the current date
- No data available for a requested historical range — returns partial or empty history array
