parsimony-fred
FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) connector for the parsimony framework.
Part of the parsimony-connectors monorepo. Distributed standalone on PyPI as parsimony-fred.
What it does
Once installed, this plugin is discovered automatically and exposes the following connectors:
| Connector | Kind | Tool-tagged | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
fred_search |
connector | yes | Keyword search across FRED series (id, title, units, frequency). |
fred_fetch |
connector | — | Fetch observation-level data for a FRED series by series_id. |
Install
pip install parsimony-fred
Pulls in a compatible parsimony automatically.
Configuration
export FRED_API_KEY="<your-key>"
Get a key at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html.
Verify discovery:
python -c "from parsimony import discover; print([p.name for p in discover.iter_providers()])"
Quick start
from parsimony_fred import CONNECTORS
result = CONNECTORS["fred_fetch"](series_id="UNRATE")
print(result.raw.head())
For multi-plugin composition:
from parsimony import discover
connectors = discover.load_all()
Catalog discovery
FRED ships a native search endpoint, so this plugin does not publish an
embedded catalog. Use fred_search for keyword discovery — it calls
/series/search directly against the FRED API.
Development
uv sync --extra dev
uv run pytest
Release-blocking conformance test: uv run pytest tests/test_conformance.py.
