I also send an email to Fred to ask the limitation of API usage. Here is the response I got:
Thank you for your message. The FRED API allows 1000 items per request, with a rate limit of 120 requests per minute.
Have a great day, FRED Team
I feel my request does not exceed the limits.
Thank you for sharing answer with limits.
Dear developer,
I want to request 5 datasets, in total there are probably 2000 data points. Sometimes I can get them all without any issue. However, most of times after getting 2 or 3 datasets, the API threw an error "The value for variable api_key is not registered.". I googled online and it seems most people can get way more data points than me without a problem.
Here is how I query all my five datasets.
I registered my API yesterday and pass it directly as the 'api_key' parameter. I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong here so I cannot always get all datasets.
I use Python 3.6 in conda environment. the Pandas version is 1.1.5.
I am sure this is not a bug in your repo but I just couldn't find a solution and don't understand why. Really appreciate if you can provide any help.
Best regards,
