Let's assume we have 2 series LAUMT531338000000006 and LAUMT531338000000005
We want to get data from these 2 series.
These series belongs to labor_force_participation_data

custom_series=instance.add_custom_series(["LAUMT531338000000006","LAUMT531338000000005"])

### add_custom_series returns a series_object class
### Now we can set the _from and _to to this object class
custom_series._from=2017
custom_series._to=2018
### now we can loop through the custom series to get the data:
for data_ in custom_series:
    print(data_)
