API Keys
Note that you cannot request or view your API keys without first logging into your fredaccount.stlouisfed.org user account.
All web service requests require an API key to identify requests. Each user of an application may use the same API key. Developers should request an API key for each application they build.
The API key is set using the api_key variable, a 32 character lower-cased alpha-numeric string.
Below is an example HTTP GET request:
https://api.stlouisfed.org/fred/series/search?api_key=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456&search_text=canada
Note that API key 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456' is for demonstration purposes only. Use one of your registered API keys instead.
