By Fruit Stand Team · November 7, 2026 · Comparisons One Snowflake Marketplace listing carries FRED series under their FRED IDs: Fruit Stand’s FRED listing, with 573,411 series from 61 sources and every ALFRED vintage, for $150/month after a 30-day trial. Snowflake Curated Data has 167,190 economic indicators from the same original publishers under its own IDs, and a few free listings use a handful of FRED series. Below is every FRED option on the Marketplace, what the FRED listing contains, which popular series it leaves out and why, and SQL to find a series.
Fruit Stand publishes the FRED listing. We searched the title and description of all 4,344 listings visible to our Snowflake account on November 7, 2026, and took the counts below from the listing’s views and from Snowflake Curated Data’s free tier the same day.

Every FRED option on the Marketplace

Two things are missing from that table. FRED itself, run by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, doesn’t publish a Marketplace listing. And no listing carries Cybersyn’s name anymore: its provider profile now reads “Snowflake Curated Data Products (formerly Cybersyn)”.

What’s in the FRED listing

From the listing’s views on November 7, 2026: Nearly half are county-level: 253,206 series are tagged county, 69,917 state and 44,648 metro area. Regional estimates are mostly published once a year, which is why annual series outnumber the rest: The biggest sources are the U.S. Census Bureau (220,285 series), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (146,805), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (70,918), the St. Louis Fed itself (56,418), the Federal Reserve Board (49,692) and the OECD (37,311). Ranked by FRED’s popularity score on November 7, 2026. Ranks 1 to 17 follow FRED’s Popular Series page; 18 to 25 come from the scores FRED’s API returned the same day. 22 of the 25 are in the listing; the other three are licensed (see the next section). Names are shortened from FRED’s titles. Treasury yields and spreads, policy rates, inflation and the Fed’s balance sheet dominate the list, and all of those are included. The three gaps are credit-index spreads and a stock index.

What isn’t in it: licensed series

FRED’s terms say series owned by third parties need the owner’s permission to use beyond personal use, so the listing leaves out every series from licensed sources. That’s 96,159 series from 47 sources, including S&P Dow Jones Indices, ICE Data Indices, Moody’s, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, Zillow, Realtor.com, Coinbase, Indeed and Haver Analytics. Of the 100 most popular series in our FRED catalog, 85 are in the listing. The 15 that aren’t: Some have unlicensed neighbors in the listing:
  • Corporate bond spreads and yields: FRED’s own spreads over Treasuries, BAA10Y and AAA10Y, are included, and so are the Treasury’s High Quality Market corporate bond rates, such as HQMCB10YR.
  • Home prices: the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index (USSTHPI) is included in place of Case-Shiller.
  • Stock indexes: for the S&P 500, use an index fund’s prices instead, such as SPY in our Historical Stock Prices listing.
  • The Sahm rule: it’s a formula on the unemployment rate, so you can compute it yourself (below).
We found no other Marketplace listing that carries them as FRED series. ICE publishes its own ICE Data Indices listing on the Marketplace; for the rest, license the data from the owner.

Snowflake Curated Data and FRED IDs

Snowflake Curated Data loads economic data from the original publishers. Its free tier’s indicator table has 167,190 variables: 93,096 from the BLS, 46,044 from the Federal Reserve, 19,537 from the BEA and 6,712 from the Census Bureau, plus smaller sources. On November 7, 2026, its latest date was August 8, 2026, the free tier’s 3-month lag. It doesn’t use FRED IDs. The legacy Cybersyn table we still have mounted has a FRED_SERIES_ID column, but it’s empty in all 167,190 rows, and the current Snowflake Curated Data table drops the column. If your code or colleagues use FRED IDs, you’d build that crosswalk yourself. How to Get FRED Data into Snowflake compares the listing with Snowflake’s Data Utilities app and a FRED API pipeline, step by step.

Find a series in SQL

fred_series_vw has one row per series, with FRED’s popularity score, so a name search sorted by popularity finds the series most people use:
On November 7, 2026 that returned BAA10Y, AAA10Y, HQMCB10YR, BAA10YM, BAAFF and HQMCB10YRP.

The Sahm rule from UNRATE

The Sahm rule compares the 3-month average unemployment rate with its lowest 3-month average over the previous 12 months. A rise of 0.50 points or more is the rule’s recession signal:
On November 7, 2026 the latest month, October 2026, came out at 0.00, with a 3-month average of 4.13%. Run on July 2024 instead, it returns 0.50, the month the rule was widely reported to have triggered. This uses today’s revised unemployment rates. FRED’s SAHMREALTIME uses each month’s rate as first published, which you can rebuild from fred_series_observations_vintages_vw.

Which should you choose?

  • You use FRED IDs, need many series, or need revisions: the FRED listing.
  • You need a few core US indicators and can wait three months: Snowflake Curated Data’s free tier.
  • You need a handful of series, including licensed ones you have rights to: the Data Utilities app with your own FRED API key.
  • You need the S&P 500, ICE BofA or Case-Shiller series: check ICE’s own Marketplace listing, or license them from S&P Dow Jones Indices or ICE. They aren’t on the Marketplace as FRED series.

F.A.Q.

Yes. Fruit Stand’s FRED listing has 573,411 FRED series by FRED ID, with every ALFRED vintage, refreshed daily. The St. Louis Fed doesn’t publish its own listing.
No. It leaves out 96,159 series from 47 licensed sources, such as S&P Dow Jones Indices, ICE BofA indexes, Moody’s and Zillow, because FRED’s terms require the owner’s permission to use them beyond personal use.
No. SP500, DJIA and NASDAQCOM are licensed from their index owners. For S&P 500 returns in Snowflake, use SPY’s adjusted prices from a stock price listing.
Not as FRED series. Snowflake Curated Data’s free tier has 167,190 indicators from the same original publishers under its own IDs, three months behind. Snowflake’s free Data Utilities app can download FRED series with your own API key.
Yes. fred_series_observations_vintages_vw has 824.6 million rows: every published version of each observation, with realtime_start and realtime_end, for point-in-time analysis.
