3
+ ## Project
4
+ fredq exposes FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) HTTP endpoints as an LLM-friendly CLI that prints the raw JSON FRED returns.
5
+
6
+ ## Stack
7
+ Python 3.10+, uv, httpx, argparse, pytest, pytest-httpx, ruff, pyright, tox, hatchling.
8
+
9
+ ## Commands
10
+ - Install/sync: `uv sync --all-groups`
11
+ - Run CLI: `uv run fredq --help`
12
+ - Test single: `uv run pytest path/to/test_file.py`
13
+ - Test all: `uv run pytest`
14
+ - Lint: `uv run ruff check .`
15
+ - Format: `uv run ruff format .`
16
+ - Type check: `uv run pyright`
17
+ - Spell check: `npm run spell` or `make spell`
18
+ - Spell changed files: `npm run spell:changed` or `make spell-changed`
19
+ - Full check: `uv run tox`
20
+
21
+ ## Architecture
22
+ - `src/fredq/client.py` -> FRED HTTP client (single async GET, api_key injection, retries, raw response retrieval).
23
+ - `src/fredq/auth.py` -> Read FRED_API_KEY from env or fallback file.
24
+ - `src/fredq/commands.py` -> command metadata used to build CLI commands, validation, and help.
25
+ - `src/fredq/params.py` -> CLI parameter coercion and validation helpers.
26
+ - `src/fredq/cli.py` -> argparse command tree and stdout/stderr behavior.
27
+ - `tests/` -> pytest tests mirroring `src/fredq/`.
28
+
29
+ ## Rules
30
+ - IMPORTANT: `--help` is the primary product surface; keep it complete, adaptive, and generated from command metadata where practical.
31
+ - Do not add `describe`, `endpoints`, `params`, or other discovery commands; discovery belongs under `fredq --help` and `fredq <endpoint> --help`.
32
+ - Print FRED response bodies to stdout exactly as returned; do not model, reshape, pretty-print, or interpret endpoint JSON.
33
+ - Keep FRED endpoint knowledge in metadata and validation only; do not create response classes.
34
+ - Use `uv run python` for Python scripts; never use bare `python` or `python3`.
35
+ - Never log or print the FRED API key.
36
+ - Keep runtime dependencies narrow; do not add TUI, ORM, web framework, or rich formatting libraries.
37
+
38
+ ## API key
39
+ - Primary: `FRED_API_KEY` environment variable.
40
+ - Fallback: file at `~/.fredq/api_key` (single line, key only).
41
+ - The CLI must redact the key from any error messages and never log it.
42
+
43
+ ## Help text
44
+ When adding or editing a CLI command:
45
+ 1. **Summary**: active verb, ≤68 chars (over wraps two-line in top-level help). `Fetch` (data), `List` (catalog), `Search` (text), `Show` (single entity), `Discover` (curated). Pair sibling commands with the same verb.
46
+ 2. **Description**: describe response content, not fredq mechanics. Forbidden phrasings: `Calls FRED`, `writes to stdout`, `response-model mapping`. The root parser already covers output behavior. Do not paraphrase the summary.
47
+ 3. **Notes**: real clarifications only — FRED quirks, switch-behavior surprises, dependencies. Drop diary entries and redundant restatements.
48
+ 4. **Order in `COMMANDS` tuple by importance**: daily-driver → discovery → entity lookups → schema introspection. Never append to the end.
49
+ 5. **Param boilerplate is shared** (`--api-key`, `--realtime-start`, `--realtime-end` use exact strings — copy them). Run `pytest -k help` before and after.
50
+
51
+ ## Output formats
52
+ - **Default**: raw FRED JSON to stdout, exactly as returned.
53
+ - **Parquet**: opt-in via `--format parquet --out PATH`, `series-observations` only. Parses the response into a typed table (`date`, `value`, realtime bounds) with the response envelope stored as schema metadata. Other endpoints reject `--format parquet` with a usage error.
54
+ - Other endpoints stay JSON-only.
55
+
56
+ ## Workflow
57
+ - Make minimal changes and avoid unrelated refactors.
58
+ - When adding a command or parameter, update validation, adaptive help, and tests in the same change.
59
+ - Prefer focused unit tests with mocked HTTP; mark live FRED tests as integration.
60
+ - Before considering code changes done, run `uv run tox`. It is the expected bundled verification for formatting, lint, type check, tests, and spelling.
61
+ - For command or parameter changes, also run the app against FRED after `tox`:
62
+ - `uv run fredq <command> --help`
63
+ - `uv run fredq <command> <minimal required parameters>`
64
+ - `uv run fredq <command> <parameters with each supported date format when dates are involved>`
65
+ - `uv run fredq <command> <parameters with meaningful values that could affect FRED's raw output>`
66
+ - When a parameter has a default, test both omission and explicit override if the default affects the request sent to FRED.
67
+ - Ask before making architectural changes that affect the CLI grammar or auth behavior.
68
+
69
+ ## FRED API state probes
70
+ - When checking the current FRED API surface, use a varied set of series, releases, and categories so behavior is not inferred from one path only.
71
+ - Baseline probe targets:
72
+ - Series: `GNPCA` (annual GDP), `DGS10` (10y yield), `CPIAUCSL` (CPI), `UNRATE` (unemployment), `FEDFUNDS` (fed funds), `DEXCAUS` (CAD/USD)
73
+ - Categories: `32991` (Money, Banking), `0` (root)
74
+ - Releases: `53` (GDP), `10` (CPI), `175` (Employment)
75
+ - Sources: `1` (Board of Governors), `3` (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
76
+ - Add targeted probes when an endpoint is series-sensitive, but keep this baseline for broad API-surface discovery.
77
+
78
+ ## GeoFRED / Maps
79
+ - Implemented under the `geofred` subcommand group (`series-group`, `series-data`, `regional-data`, `shapes`). Different base URL; regional data keyed by FIPS; `shapes` returns Highcharts-format GeoJSON in a Lambert Conformal Conic projection (not WGS84).
80
+
81
+ ## Out of scope
82
+ - Mapping FRED JSON into Python domain models.
83
+ - Separate documentation/discovery subcommands.
84
+ - Secrets or API keys in checked-in files.

41
+ FRED Query — Federal Reserve Economic Data on the command line.
42
+
43
+ fredq brings the [FRED](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/fred/) (Federal
44
+ Reserve Economic Data) HTTP endpoints to the command line. It is built for
45
+ scripts, agents, and quick terminal work that needs the JSON returned by the
46
+ FRED API.
47
+
48
+ The project stays deliberately close to the source. It does not reshape FRED
49
+ responses, define economic domain models, or add a discovery API beyond CLI
50
+ help.
51
+
52
+ ## Features
53
+
54
+ - Raw FRED JSON on stdout, with no pretty-printing or interpretation.
55
+ - Endpoint-specific commands for every public FRED API endpoint.
56
+ - Generated help that includes examples, parameters, and known value sets.
57
+ - Typed Parquet output for `series-observations` when a long time series is
58
+ more useful as a columnar table than as JSON.
59
+ - ALFRED point-in-time support (`--realtime-start`, `--realtime-end`,
60
+ `series-vintagedates`).
61
+ - GeoFRED / Maps regional data (`geofred` subcommands): regional time series,
62
+ all-region snapshots, series-group metadata, and GeoJSON shape files.
63
+
64
+ ## Install
65
+
66
+ fredq is a Python 3.10+ project. Install it as a tool with
67
+ [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) or with pip:
68
+
69
+ ```powershell
70
+ uv tool install fredq
71
+ # or
72
+ pip install fredq
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ For Parquet output, include the `parquet` extra:
76
+
77
+ ```powershell
78
+ uv tool install "fredq[parquet]"
79
+ # or
80
+ pip install "fredq[parquet]"
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ Then run:
84
+
85
+ ```powershell
86
+ fredq --help
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ### From Source
90
+
91
+ To run from a local checkout (development):
92
+
93
+ ```powershell
94
+ uv sync --all-groups
95
+ uv run fredq --help
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ Or install the checkout as a tool:
99
+
100
+ ```powershell
101
+ uv tool install .
102
+ fredq --help
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ ## API Key
106
+
107
+ The FRED API requires a free API key. Request one at
108
+ <https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html>.
109
+
110
+ fredq reads the key from, in order:
111
+
112
+ 1. The `FRED_API_KEY` environment variable.
113
+ 2. The first non-empty line of `~/.fredq/api_key`.
114
+ 3. The `--api-key` flag (visible in process listings; prefer the env var).
115
+
116
+ On POSIX systems, restrict the key file so only your user can read it:
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ chmod 600 ~/.fredq/api_key
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ fredq emits a warning if the file is readable by group or world. To disable
123
+ the file fallback entirely (for hermetic runs), set `FREDQ_DISABLE_KEY_FILE=1`
124
+ or pass `--no-key-file`.
125
+
126
+ fredq never prints, logs, or echoes the API key. The key is also redacted
127
+ from URLs in error messages and from any httpx debug logs emitted under
128
+ `--verbose`.
129
+
130
+ ## Quick Start
131
+
132
+ Show metadata for a series:
133
+
134
+ ```powershell
135
+ uv run fredq series --series-id GNPCA
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ Fetch a series' observations:
139
+
140
+ ```powershell
141
+ uv run fredq series-observations --series-id CPIAUCSL
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ Apply a unit transformation and frequency aggregation:
145
+
146
+ ```powershell
147
+ uv run fredq series-observations --series-id CPIAUCSL --units pch --frequency m
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ Search for a series by keyword:
151
+
152
+ ```powershell
153
+ uv run fredq series-search --search-text "10-year treasury" --limit 10
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ Browse the FRED category tree from the root:
157
+
158
+ ```powershell
159
+ uv run fredq category-children --category-id 0
160
+ ```
161
+
162
+ List recent economic releases:
163
+
164
+ ```powershell
165
+ uv run fredq releases --limit 10
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ List recent release publication dates across all releases:
169
+
170
+ ```powershell
171
+ uv run fredq releases-dates --limit 20
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ Show metadata for a specific release (53 = GDP):
175
+
176
+ ```powershell
177
+ uv run fredq release --release-id 53
178
+ ```
179
+
180
+ Find all series tagged with a set of FRED tags:
181
+
182
+ ```powershell
183
+ uv run fredq tags-series --tag-names "usa;monthly;cpi" --limit 25
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ ALFRED point-in-time: see what GDP looked like on a past date:
187
+
188
+ ```powershell
189
+ uv run fredq series-vintagedates --series-id GNPCA
190
+ uv run fredq series-observations --series-id GNPCA --realtime-start 2024-09-25
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ Fetch GeoFRED regional data — per-capita income by state for one year:
194
+
195
+ ```powershell
196
+ uv run fredq geofred series-group --series-id WIPCPI
197
+ uv run fredq geofred series-data --series-id WIPCPI --start-date 2022-01-01
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ ## Parquet Output
201
+
202
+ `series-observations` can write a typed Parquet table instead of raw JSON.
203
+ Install with the `parquet` extra to pull in `pyarrow`:
204
+
205
+ ```powershell
206
+ uv sync --extra parquet
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ Then pass `--format parquet --out PATH`:
210
+
211
+ ```powershell
212
+ uv run fredq series-observations --series-id CPIAUCSL --units pch --frequency m \
213
+ --format parquet --out cpi_yoy.parquet
214
+ ```
215
+
216
+ On success a single JSON descriptor line goes to stdout (the file format, out
217
+ path, row count, byte size). The Parquet schema is `date` (date32), `value`
218
+ (float64), `realtime_start` (date32), `realtime_end` (date32). FRED's
219
+ missing-value sentinel `.` is written as `NaN`. The full response envelope
220
+ (count, offset, limit, observation range, units, sort order) and the request
221
+ context (units, frequency, realtime range) are stored as schema key-value
222
+ metadata so the table is self-describing.
223
+
224
+ Parquet writes are scoped to `series-observations` only; every other command
225
+ stays JSON-only, and rejects `--format parquet` with a usage error. Parquet
226
+ output assumes FRED's default observation layout (one row per observation);
227
+ fredq does not expose FRED's alternative `output_type` modes.
228

300
+ **GeoFRED / Maps (`geofred` subcommands)**
301
+
302
+ | Command | FRED data |
303
+ | --- | --- |
304
+ | `geofred series-group` | Show GeoFRED series-group metadata (region type, season, frequency, units). |
305
+ | `geofred series-data` | Fetch the regional time series for one FRED series. |
306
+ | `geofred regional-data` | Fetch a regional snapshot — all regions for a single date. |
307
+ | `geofred shapes` | Download a GeoJSON shape file for a region type, to `--out`. |
308
+
309
+ The GeoFRED endpoints use a different base URL and return regional data keyed by
310
+ FIPS code. `geofred shapes` returns Highcharts-format GeoJSON whose coordinates
311
+ are in a Lambert Conformal Conic projection (not WGS84); reproject before mixing
312
+ with lat/lon basemaps. See `fredq geofred --help` for the full subcommand list.
313
+
314
+ Each endpoint has its own adaptive help:
315
+
316
+ ```powershell
317
+ uv run fredq series --help
318
+ uv run fredq series-observations --help
319
+ uv run fredq series-search --help
320
+ uv run fredq releases-dates --help
321
+ ```
322
+
323
+ Endpoint help is the primary documentation surface. It shows the FRED target
324
+ endpoint, accepted parameters, allowed value sets, defaults, and examples.
325
+
326
+ ## Dates, Booleans, and Tag Lists
327
+
328
+ Date parameters accept:
329
+
330
+ - `YYYY-MM-DD` calendar dates.
331
+ - ISO 8601 datetimes (the time component is dropped; UTC assumed for naive
332
+ values).
333
+ - Unix timestamps in seconds (≥10 digits).
334
+
335
+ Boolean parameters accept common true and false forms such as `true`, `false`,
336
+ `1`, `0`, `yes`, and `no`.
337
+
338
+ Tag lists (`--tag-names`, `--exclude-tag-names`) use semicolons as
339
+ separators, matching FRED's wire format:
340
+
341
+ ```powershell
342
+ uv run fredq tags-series --tag-names "usa;annual"
343
+ ```
344
+
345
+ ## ALFRED Point-in-Time
346
+
347
+ Most endpoints accept `--realtime-start` and `--realtime-end` to view data
348
+ as of a historical date (the [ALFRED](https://alfred.stlouisfed.org/)
349
+ archival API). Combined with `series-vintagedates`, this lets you replay
350
+ what an analyst would have seen on a specific past date — useful for
351
+ backtests and for distinguishing data revisions from real-time signals.
352
+
353
+ ```powershell
354
+ # When were GNP revisions published?
355
+ uv run fredq series-vintagedates --series-id GNPCA
356
+
357
+ # What did GNP look like on 2024-09-25?
358
+ uv run fredq series-observations --series-id GNPCA \
359
+ --realtime-start 2024-09-25 --realtime-end 2024-09-25
360
+ ```
361
+
362
+ ## Output Contract
363
+
364
+ fredq writes the FRED response body to stdout exactly as returned. This makes
365
+ it easy to pipe into tools that expect JSON:
366
+
367
+ ```powershell
368
+ uv run fredq series --series-id GNPCA | jq .
369
+ uv run fredq releases --limit 25 | jq '.releases[].name'
370
+ ```
371
+
372
+ Diagnostics, warnings, and errors are written to stderr. The exit code is
373
+ `0` on success, `1` on a FRED request failure, and `2` on a usage or
374
+ configuration error.
375
+
376
+ ## Development
377
+
378
+ Install development dependencies:
379
+
380
+ ```powershell
381
+ uv sync --all-groups
382
+ ```
383
+
384
+ Run the test suite:
385
+
386
+ ```powershell
387
+ uv run pytest
388
+ ```
389
+
390
+ Run checks locally:
391
+
392
+ ```powershell
393
+ uv run black --check .
394
+ uv run ruff format --check --diff .
395
+ uv run ruff check .
396
+ uv run pyright
397
+ uv run pytest -n auto
398
+ ```
399
+
400
+ Run the full project check, including Python checks across supported
401
+ versions and spelling:
402
+
403
+ ```powershell
404
+ uv run tox
405
+ ```
406
+
407
+ When adding or changing command metadata, update validation, adaptive help,
408
+ and tests together. Then verify the relevant command against FRED with its
409
+ help, minimal required parameters, and representative optional parameters.
