API Keys, FRED API Version 2

Request or view your 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.

An API key must be specified in the request header in the following way:

Authorization: Bearer abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456

Note that the API key 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456' is for demonstration purposes only. Use one of your registered API keys instead.
