Hi, what Im looking to do with Fred is update data, like GDP or Inflation say exactly after its released. Fred tell me it comes out about 5mins after, how can I pull data and only print the chart when I know its the latest data point? That would be a nice 3min video too!! Thanks

When it merges into a quarterly format, how is the weekly data being calculated?

I think I'm reading the same book you read. Good stuff

[@AnalyzingAlpha]

Thank you :).

What book, please?

How about doing a video on infrastructure for algotrading? With all these data sources we need to store the data somewhere. I would be interested in knowing what DB/Server setup to use, and so I can build a database to store data like this,in order to do data analysis.

Hi Phil! Unfortunately, I only have a video on how to install PostgreSQL at the moment; however, server infrastructure is definitely in the works. Thanks for the comment!

Is there a way to get ALL variables' data?

Good video, how do we get series in different Units?

[@BBT123]

Can you make a video on how to stream economic calendar data in python? Thanks

Hello. get_series is only pulling the value ie CPI and note the date. cpiout = fred.get_series('FPCPITOTLZGUSA') cpiout.tail() only shows the cpi value. No date in table. Any ideas?

[@reginaldsherekete8520]

before print try to put this line: cpiout.reset_index(inplace=True)
