About this source

Complete read-only access to the current Federal Reserve Economic Data APIs. DISCOVERY IS DETERMINISTIC: listOperations returns the 36-operation official inventory; describeOperation returns the exact documented parameters for one selected path and never executes. The model selects the operation and values. queryOperation only validates and performs that exact GET. The pinned official inventory covers all 31 FRED v1 operations, all four GeoFRED map operations, and the FRED v2 bulk release-observations operation. Provider URLs, headers, authentication, HTTP method, and response media type are runtime-owned and cannot be supplied by the caller. Results default to 100 rows where the provider supports a limit.
