I am facing similar issues with US Libor rates. At some point Libor rates are going to be phased out I believe (talks speculate this will happen in Dec 2021) I just hope they did not discontinue the series without informing users. Thanks for raising this with the FRED. I have also raised this. Please let us know once you have a reply. Cheers

From FRED. They would be discontinuing the following rate due to regulation : ICE Libor Rates, ICE Swap Rates, LBMA Gold Price:Daily Prices, and LBMA Silver Price: Daily Prices
See following for the email replied from FRED:
The source of the following releases, ICE Libor Rates, ICE Swap Rates, LBMA Gold Price: Daily Prices, and LBMA Silver Price: Daily Prices, will not let us redistribute their data in our Excel Addin and API. Previously, this data was in the FRED products. The series will no longer be accessible through the above-mentioned products.
We can go ahead and close this issue and maybe include discontinue message in the git description. Thanks!
Agreed, Many thanks for chasing this up.
Cheers
Closed issue due to restricted redistribution of following rates: ICE Libor Rates, ICE Swap Rates, LBMA Gold Price:Daily Prices, and LBMA Silver Price: Daily Prices It would be great to add this note on the package documentation site / github page.
Any idea if any other API does provide this data?
Describe the Bug
Getting below error message when calling Libor rates series ids from fredapi. It was working just fine last week. Start occurring error after 09/13/2020.
Command Name
fred_endpoint.get_series_all_releases(series_id)
To Reproduce
Call
fred_endpoint.get_series_all_releases(series_id)
with the following series_id:Expected Behavior
Return historical rates from Fred
Environment Summary
Additional Context
I have forked the master to dig into where the issue is coming from. I directly did a request toward Fred API endpoint and it is still returning bad request. From my observation/investigation, this is caused by Fred API instead of the package. I've notified Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis about the issue.
