Initialize BEAAPI with an API key and make a sample request to list datasets.

from beaapi import BEAAPI import os api_key = os.environ.get('BEA_API_KEY', '') if not api_key: raise ValueError("Set BEA_API_KEY environment variable") bea = BEAAPI(api_key) params = { 'UserID': api_key, 'Method': 'GetDataSetList', 'ResultFormat': 'JSON' } response = bea.get_data(params) print(response)

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe API key must be provided as a parameter to the BEAAPI constructor; there is no environment variable autoloading.

fix

Always pass the API key explicitly: BEAAPI(api_key) or set an environment variable and load it manually.

affects: <0.2.0

gotchaThe get_data method expects a flat dictionary of params, not nested. Common mistake: including parameters inside an extra dict.

fix

Pass params as a single dictionary with keys like 'UserID', 'Method', etc.

affects: all

deprecatedThe older pattern BEAAPI().get_data() without explicit API key is deprecated in favor of passing key to constructor.

fix

Switch to BEAAPI(api_key).get_data(params).

affects: <0.2.0
