US Labor Statistics API
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.
