A Python library that extracts data from remote internet sources such as FRED, Fama/French, World Bank, OECD, and Eurostat directly into pandas DataFrames. Formerly part of pandas, it focuses on macroeconomic, policy, and factor-style data access.
Use cases
- download FRED economic time series into a pandas DataFrame
- fetch Fama-French factor data for backtesting
- pull World Bank or OECD indicators for analysis
- load historical stock and financial data in Python
- cache remote data queries for reproducible research
- import macroeconomic data for econometric modeling
When to choose
- you work in pandas and need remote economic or financial data as DataFrames
- you want a maintained successor to pandas' built-in remote data readers
- you need access to FRED, World Bank, OECD, or Eurostat datasets
When to avoid
- you need real-time market data or broker API access
- your data source is not among the supported readers
- you need a general-purpose web scraping tool
