import os from openbb import obb from openbb_federal_reserve import openbb_fed # Set API key (if needed for FRED, otherwise anonymous access is limited) os.environ['OPENBB_FRED_API_KEY'] = 'your_fred_api_key' # Fetch GDP data gdp = obb.economy.gdp(provider='openbb_fed') print(gdp.to_df())
Debug
Known issues
breakingIn v1.5+, the extension package was renamed from 'openbb_fred' to 'openbb-federal-reserve'. Old import paths will break.
fix
Use 'from openbb_federal_reserve import openbb_fed' instead of 'from openbb_fred import openbb_fed'.
affects: >=1.5.0
deprecatedDirect usage of FRED API without an API key is deprecated; anonymous access may be removed in future versions.
fix
Set the OPENBB_FRED_API_KEY environment variable or pass 'api_key' parameter to the provider.
affects: >=1.6.0
gotchaThe extension does not expose a standalone module; you must use the OpenBB platform ('obb') to access its endpoints.
fix
Always import and use 'from openbb import obb' as the entry point.
affects: all
