A package to fetch Bureau of Labor Statistics data using Streamlit

Streamlit Connection API

The Streamlit Connection API is a custom-built Python package that allows you to easily interact with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) API and retrieve data as pandas dataframes.

Installation

To install the Streamlit Connection API, simply run the following command:

pip install streamlit-bls-connection

Example Streamlit API:

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_bls_connection import BLSConnection

# Step 1: Setup connection to US Bureau of Labor Statistics
connection = BLSConnection("bls_connection")

# Step 2: Define Input parameters for the API call
# Tip: one or multiple Series ID's* can be retrieved
seriesids_list = ['APU000074714', 'APU000072610']
start_year_str = '2014'  # start of date range
end_year_str = '2023'    # end of date range

# Step 3: Fetch data using the custom connection
dataframes_dict = connection.query(seriesids_list, start_year_str, end_year_str)

# Step 4: Create dataframes
gas_df = dataframes_dict['APU000074714']
electricity_df = dataframes_dict['APU000072610']

# Step 5: Show Dataframes in Streamlit
st.dataframe(gas_df, electricity_df)
