Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created in June 2022. The first pre-alpha release was published on June 23, 2022 as the first PyPI release, followed quickly by dependency fixes, full API stubs, a first full implementation of all APIs, and a test suite.

The project metadata describes it as production/stable, intended for developers, finance users, and science/research users. The README documents installation through Homebrew and PyPI, Read the Docs API documentation, a GitHub wiki, FRED API documentation, and API key creation through the St. Louis Fed account site.

Historique d'adoption

The package is packaged for Homebrew as fred and for Python as fred-py-api on PyPI. Its README also documents shell completion snippets for zsh, bash, and fish, which is a sign that the CLI was intended for repeated terminal use rather than only occasional scripting.

Modes d'utilisation

Users install the package with brew install fred or pip install fred-py-api. The pyproject defines console scripts named fred, categories, releases, series, sources, and tags; these map to the main FRED data domains exposed by the official St. Louis Fed API documentation.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Fred is interesting as a package because it turns a public economic-data web API into both importable Python modules and Unix-style subcommands. It packages a government-backed data source in a way that fits shell workflows, notebooks, finance scripts, and reproducible research pipelines.
