FRED has added 27 data series from the Survey of Regional Conditions and Expectations (SORCE) reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

Information is collected eight times per year through a survey of business and community leaders in the Fourth District of the Federal Reserve System, which covers all of Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The data are presented as indexes, measuring the difference between the percentage of the survey respondents reporting increases and the percentage reporting decreases in areas such as demand, employment, and inflation. These types of indexes are often called diffusion indexes.

FRED has launched a new version of its application programming interface (API). An API enables users to write programs and build applications that retrieve economic data from FRED. FRED’s API Version 2 allows account holders to retrieve observations for all FRED series in any release in bulk and obtain the entire history in JSON or XML format. Users interested in using this new feature to make data requests will need an API key, which can be requested via a FRED user account.

Starting January 5, 2026, FRED user accounts will no longer be able to save archival data from our ALFRED website. Other content in your FRED user account will not be affected and will be available as usual. The data in the ALFRED website also will not be affected and will be available as usual from that website.

To prepare for this change, please adjust or save your existing ALFRED archival content before the end of the year. You may log into your FRED user account and download archival data lists, adjust any mixed data lists to remove the archival data, and write down the custom graph links of saved ALFRED graphs.
