Why this is worth charging for

FRED is the canonical macro source, but its API returns string values (with '.' for missing), one series at a time, and dumps every vintage. This actor coerces values to numbers, handles missing markers, lets you fetch several series in one run, and delivers a deduplicated, newest-first observation feed ready to chart or alert on.

Output

Each dataset item is one normalized record:

{
  "seriesId": "CPIAUCSL",
  "date": "2024-05-01",
  "value": 313.207,
  "realtimeStart": "2024-06-12",
  "realtimeEnd": "2024-06-12",
  "source": "FRED"
}

Input

Field	Description
`apiKey`	Free key from https://fredaccount.stlouisfed.org/apikeys. Required.
`seriesId`	One or more FRED series IDs, comma-separated, e.g. CPIAUCSL,UNRATE,FEDFUNDS.
`observationStart`	Earliest observation date.
`observationEnd`	Latest observation date.
`units`	Optional FRED units transform, e.g. pch (percent change), chg, pc1.
`limit`	Observations to return per series (newest first).
`onlyNewSinceLastRun`	Recommended for schedules — skips records already returned by a previous run using persisted state, so you're only charged for genuinely new items.
`maxItems`	Stop after this many normalized records.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

query — $0.01, charged once per run for the API query/poll.
observation-record — $0.005 per normalized record pushed. This is the primary event.
apify-actor-start (Apify-managed) — covers baseline compute per run.

Pulling a few indicators' latest values costs pennies. A schedule that appends the newest observation each release bills only new data points with onlyNewSinceLastRun.

Source & reliability

Data comes from the official api.stlouisfed.org/fred service; a free API key is required. Values are coerced to numbers and FRED's '.' missing marker handled. No proxies required. Run npm test for the offline self-test covering the normalizer, including edge cases and missing-field handling.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Yes — a free FRED key. It goes straight into the input.

Can I fetch several indicators at once?

Yes. Pass a comma-separated list of series IDs and each observation is tagged with its series.
