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.
- Developers should request a distinct API key for each application they build.
- All users of an application shall use their own API key.
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.
