How this service works
Paid data APIs for AI agents: prediction-market analytics, weather intelligence, weather×market edge signals, and SEC/gov data. Paid endpoints use the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 + USDC on Base): call without payment to receive requirements, retry with an X-PAYMENT header. Machine-readable catalog: /llms.txt. Per-endpoint docs: /docs/{id}.
Output
A JSON object containing the series title, units, FRED ID, a list of recent dated observations, the latest print (headline %, date, first-release vs latest value, whether revised), a surprise object (actual, expected, delta, methodology), revision history for recent months, release name, source agency, and next scheduled release date. Metadata includes freshness, data source, and a unique request ID.
Example use cases
Macro surprise dashboard for trading
“Pull the latest industrial production reading for me — I want the headline number, whether it beat or missed the trend expectation, and any revisions to prior months.”
Economic briefing for research report
“I'm writing a macro outlook — can you get me the most recent Industrial Production Index data including units, the FRED series ID, and when the next release is scheduled?”
Automated econ monitoring alert
“Check the industrial production series and tell me if the latest print was revised since it was first released, and what the current month-over-month change is.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-factory.com/v1/econ/%7Bseries%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need clean, structured US macroeconomic series data that includes not just the latest value but also revision history and a surprise-vs-expectation signal — features rarely bundled together in free FRED wrappers. Ideal for agents doing macro research, trading signal generation, or economic monitoring where revision awareness and surprise metrics matter. Prefer over raw FRED API when you want normalized JSON with surprise analytics already computed and a predictable per-call cost model via x402/USDC.
Side effects
- Unknown or unsupported series slug returns an error or 404
- Payment not included returns HTTP 402 with USDC/Base payment requirements
- Stale data if FRED has not yet published the latest release
- Series temporarily unavailable if upstream FRED API is down
- Malformed series parameter returns a 400 or validation error
