FRED
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.

Connect FRED to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Pull US and international economic time series from FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis database, into the PostHog Data warehouse.
Request a free API key at fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html. FRED has around 800,000 series, so pick the ones you want: a series ID is the code at the end of its FRED page URL, such as UNRATE for the unemployment rate or CPIAUCSL for CPI.
