The USA and Canada economic data
In this article I want to describe to you how I get actual data for the USA and Canada.
The Federal Reserve System (FRS) is the central bank of the United States and has a distributed financial system. There are twelve regions and federal banks in each region responsible for the financial system.
I have done some research and found that the federal bank of Sant Luis has big and open economic data online called Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). So, from Fred Api I get data for the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom. I am using the Api facade for integration with Fred. You should register at Fred service and get an authorization key to get data from the server. I get Gdp, Currency Rate, and monetary data.
For example, I get Monetary M3 parameter from Fred
I get the consumer price Index and labor statistics for the USA from the U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS which is part of the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
This is a federal office that collects data for the U.S. economy and labor market.
It has BLS Public Data API where I get data using Rest Api
As result for the USA I got collected data:
I got the same Data from Fred for Canada but also I got currency rate and customer price index for Canada from the Bank of Canada. And the result is:
You can also see the result of implementation in my service Wecobook.
