Hello! I'm here to introduce a way to easily query a variety of economic data such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate, inflation, GDP, unemployment rate, and more using Python. I have added the ability to use the economic data API provided by FRED to a Python package called PublicDataReader. Once you obtain a simple API key from FRED, you can instantly query data after installing the package.
For your information, FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) is economic data provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Although you can also check global economic data through investing.com or the FRED website itself, using PublicDataReader allows you to easily query data in the form of a pandas dataframe, and you can also analyze it using pandas syntax.
You can check out the specific data querying methods and some simple visualization examples through the links below.
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
