How the connection works

Source
FRED
DataOS connector
Keeps it up to date
DataOS lakehouse
Governed data product

The connector uses your FRED key to ask FRED for the latest values of a short list of economic series, looking back 90 days to catch revisions, and refreshes the table in DataOS. It only reads public data.
