Questions
FAQ
How do I use the FRED category API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/fred/category with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the FRED category API cost?
$0 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.
What parameters does the FRED category API accept?
No parameters are required. Optional: category_id (integer) and file_type (one of json). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the FRED category API return?
A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).
Do I need a FRED developer account or API key?
No. FRED category runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for FRED API access separately.
