BLS Scraper
Pulls US Bureau of Labor Statistics time series — CPI, unemployment and anything else with a series ID — through the public API. No login, no proxy, no browser.
Input
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
seriesIds | array | Required. BLS series IDs. Default ["CUUR0000SA0", "LNS14000000"] (CPI-U all items, unemployment rate). |
Output
One row per observation: seriesId, year, period, periodName, month,
value, isLatest, footnotes.
Notes
M13is not a month. BLS uses it for the annual average, so the derivedmonthisnullthere rather than 13 — filtering onmonththerefore excludes annual rows automatically.latestarrives as the string"true", not a boolean, and is converted.- BLS answers a bad series ID with HTTP 200 and a
statusofREQUEST_NOT_PROCESSED, so the status field is checked explicitly rather than trusting the HTTP code. - This uses the keyless v1 API, which returns roughly the last three years and is rate limited to a modest number of daily queries per IP. v2 offers longer history but requires a registration key.
footnotesis padded with empty objects upstream; those are dropped.
