Can I get a category with the FRED API?

Yes. Use the GET /fred/category endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the FRED API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

How do I get a category through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get a category'. Jentic returns the matching FRED API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the FRED API have?

The FRED API exposes 31 endpoints covering categories, releases, series operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the FRED API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which FRED operations and credentials the agent may use, and only the operations you add are callable. Since FRED identifies categories, releases, and series through query parameters rather than a path resource id, you scope by operation: grant just the calls the agent needs, such as reading a category with GET /fred/category or listing a release's dates with GET /fred/releases/dates. Everything here is read-only economic data, so the agent can retrieve series, sources, and tags without any ability to write or change data.
