Fred Economic Data API - warrior42 - Feb-26-2024
Hello,
I was hoping to get a hand in setting up the Fred Economic Data API. I'm relatively new at using Python so I will need a basic understanding if anyone has some time to help me out here.
I currently have an API key assigned to me but not sure how to retrieve the data. Would I have to download packages from Fred?
I'm throwing darts here and tried the following, but errors were returns. (attached)
pip install full-fred
!pip install fredapi
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the response and heads up about BBcode. I am on a VPN and within my proxy settings the option to "use setup script" is "on" with a company script address included.
Just turned the VPN off and got this error (I hope I shared it correctly)
