Get FRED Series Data
GetFredSeriesDataRead-onlyIdempotent
Fetch time-series observation data from FRED for a specific economic
series. Returns date + value pairs with series metadata (title, units,
frequency). Use SearchFredSeries first if you don't know the series ID.
Use this tool when:
- You need historical macro data (rates, inflation, GDP, unemployment)
- You want to provide macro context alongside advisor or fund data
- You are comparing economic conditions across time periods
- You need the current value of a key economic indicator
Pass observation_start / observation_end to limit the date range.
Pass frequency to aggregate (e.g. 'm' for monthly, 'q' for quarterly).
Requires FRED_API_KEY environment variable (free at fred.stlouisfed.org).
