FRED Data
You can integrate data from the
Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) system into RAMADDA. This requires a freely available API key. To configure this:
- Get a FRED API key
- Add a .properties file, e.g., biz.properties, to your RAMADDA home directory directory.
fred.api.key=<your key>
- Once RAMADDA is restarted you can create a Fred Category entry (File->Pick a Type...). If you do not provide a Category ID then the data from the top-level category is shown, e.g. :
https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/categories
Else, to import a specific category, e.g., Money, Banking & Finance (https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/categories/32991) enter the category ID, e.g. 32991.
EIA Data
You can integrate data from the
Energy Information Administration.
- Get a EIA API key
- Add a .properties file, e.g., biz.properties, to your RAMADDA home directory directory.
eia.api.key=<your key>
- Once RAMADDA is restarted you can create a EIA Category entry (File->Pick a Type...). If you do not provide a Category ID then the data from the top-level category is shown, e.g. :
http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/qb.cfm
Else, to import a specific category, e.g.,
Natural Gas
(http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/qb.cfm?category=714804) enter the category ID, e.g. 714804.
