It is a foundational public macroeconomic and financial reference dataset for analysis, modeling, and monitoring.

How often is the data refreshed?

Observations are updated daily via an incremental refresh. Releases are updated monthly. Categories and Tags are updated Quarterly.

How is the data obtained?

Why use Fruit Stand's FRED Snowflake listing instead of using the FRED API?

You certainly can use the FRED API to ingest data into your snowflake database. Clients use our services for speed to insights (e.g., faster modeling, analytics), data quality controls, and engineering. By using our listing, you no longer need to worry about API limits, throttling, pipeline management, and performance. Instead with us, you get complete coverage, full history of every available series that can be queried and analyzed right away, with daily refreshes. Don't wait weeks for engineering or maintaining pipelines, start analyzing right away.

Can I request for additional data from FRED to be made available in Snowflake?
