It acts as a bridge between the OpenBB ecosystem and the Federal Reserve's public economic datasets, allowing developers to query economic indicators, time series, and other Fed-published data through a unified OpenBB interface rather than calling FRED's API directly.\n\nThe package is a lightweight provider module\u2014it depends only on openbb-core and ships as a pure Python wheel. It's designed for developers building financial analysis tools, economic dashboards, or research applications that need reliable access to Federal Reserve data. The integration handles the provider-specific logic, so users interact with FRED data through OpenBB's standard query patterns.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenBB and need FRED data. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and no known vulnerabilities. The AGPL-3.0 license is a significant constraint\u2014only adopt it if your project is open-source or you are comfortable with copyleft obligations. For proprietary applications, verify license compatibility before committing."},"id":"openbb-fred","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-fred","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-fred.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-fred/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-fred","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"FRED extension for OpenBB"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":89559,"position":13649,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.2"}
