How this service works
Any FRED economic time series by id or alias: CPI, core PCE, unemployment, payrolls, GDP, fed funds, SOFR, Treasury yields, mortgage rates, M2, oil, VIX, jobless claims... Latest value, change, 1-year % change and history. Use for macro analysis and economic questions.
Output
Returns the series name, latest observed value with its date, the change from the prior period, the 1-year percent change, and a chronological array of historical observations (date + value pairs) up to the requested limit — all sourced from the FRED database.
Example use cases
Inflation briefing for investment memo
“Get me the current CPI and core PCE readings from FRED, including how each has changed over the past year — I'm putting together a macro section for an investment memo.”
Fed policy context from rate data
“What's the current federal funds rate and how has it moved over the last two years? Pull the history from FRED so I can chart the hiking cycle.”
Labor market snapshot for economic report
“Give me the latest unemployment rate and nonfarm payrolls figures from FRED, along with the past 6 months of history for each, so I can summarize the state of the labor market.”

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative US macroeconomic time-series data — inflation, interest rates, employment, GDP, money supply, commodity prices, or market volatility — especially when you want a single call that returns both the latest snapshot and historical observations without having to integrate directly with the FRED API or manage API keys.
Side effects
- Unknown or misspelled series ID returns an error or empty result
- Date range with no observations returns empty history array
- Limit out of range (outside 1–1000) may be rejected or clamped
- FRED API downtime causes service unavailability
- Network timeout on the render.com host under load
