    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I download a single FRED series as CSV?

    Open any indicator's page (for example /series/UNRATE/) and click CSV or JSON, or use the Individual Series tab above. Each file is named source_indicator_YYYYMMDD and includes the source, series name, units and date range.

    Is there a direct CSV link or API?

    Yes. Every series exports at a stable URL — https://govspending.org/api/export/fred/<ID>.csv (or .json), e.g. /api/export/fred/UNRATE.csv. Treasury datasets and dashboard bundles export the same way, so you can script downloads.

    What is included in each download?

    The full historical observations (date and value), with a header carrying the source, series name, units and date range. Rows are not truncated — you get the complete series, not a sample.

    Can I use the data commercially?

    Yes. The underlying federal data is U.S. government work in the public domain and this site adds no restrictions. Attribution to the original source (Treasury, FRED, BLS, Congress.gov) is appreciated.
