US Labor Statistics API

healthy 3,189 Subscribers

Official US economic indicators straight from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) public time-series API — no key, read live. The cpi endpoint returns the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, all items, series CUUR0000SA0) for the latest month with the index level plus the month-on-month and year-on-year inflation rates, computed from the official series. The unemployment endpoint returns the seasonally-adjusted US unemployment rate (series LNS14000000) for the latest month plus the trailing year. The indicators endpoint returns a curated dashboard of headline US figures in one call — CPI, core CPI, the unemployment rate, the producer price index, average hourly earnings and total nonfarm employment — each with its latest value and period. The series endpoint is a thin live gateway to any BLS series by its id, returning the data points and computed changes, opening up the full BLS catalogue (prices, employment, wages, productivity). Annual-average rows are labelled and excluded from period maths. Live data from BLS, heavily cached because the public API is rate-limited. Live. 5 endpoints. This serves US national statistics; for the US dollar exchange rate or Treasury yields use an FX / Treasury API.

US Weather Alerts API

Live United States weather alerts as an API, straight from the National Weather Service. Get every active severe-weather warning, watch and advisory — tornado warnings, flash-flood and river-flood warnings, severe thunderstorm, winter storm, blizzard, excessive-heat, hurricane, red-flag and dozens more — filtered by US state, by a latitude/longitude point, or by NWS forecast/county zone, and refine by severity (Extreme, Severe, Moderate, Minor), urgency or event type. Each alert carries the event name, severity, urgency and certainty, the headline, the affected areas, the full description and the official protective-action instructions, plus the effective, onset, expires and ends times. See how many alerts are active nationwide and broken down by state, resolve any location to its NWS office, forecast zone and county, browse the full list of alert event types, and look up terms in the NWS weather glossary. Perfect for weather dashboards and safety apps, emergency-notification systems, smart-home automations, Discord/Slack bots and travel tools. No accounts, no upstream key. Covers the United States; for forecasts use the Weather API.

Each record carries the member's name, gender, birthday, party, state and district, chamber, the number of terms served and the complete term-by-term history with start and end dates, plus cross-reference ids (GovTrack, OpenSecrets, FEC, Wikipedia, Wikidata). Ideal for civic-tech, news, government-transparency, lobbying and political-research apps. Data from the public-domain @unitedstates project.

Moldova Inflation & CPI API

Official consumer-price inflation for the Republic of Moldova — sourced live from the National Bureau of Statistics of Moldova via its public PxWeb statbank (tables PRE012600, PRE012200 and PRE012800). The cpi endpoint returns the latest reported month with headline year-on-year inflation and the month-on-month price change. The series endpoint returns the monthly history of year-on-year and month-on-month inflation, parameterised by the number of months. The groups endpoint breaks the latest month down across the major divisions — food goods, non-food goods and services — each with its year-on-year rate, showing where price pressure sits. The core endpoint returns Moldova's core-inflation measures, computed by excluding volatile components such as food, energy and regulated prices, each with year-on-year and month-on-month change — the gauges central banks watch for underlying trend. All figures are published directly by the statistics bureau, not modelled, and refreshed from source behind a short server-side cache with keep-warm. Ideal for macro and emerging-market dashboards, CIS and EU-candidate economics trackers, cost-of-living and monetary-policy tools, and fintech needing a clean structured inflation feed for a market the big aggregators rarely cover at monthly resolution. Live keyless upstream. 5 endpoints.
