US macro data: Commodities (59 series)

59 commodities series from US government sources, cleaned into one consistent format and ready for pandas. This free package holds the last 12 months (2025-11-01 on) of each series' latest values. It is refreshed weekly.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-commodities/data/long.parquet")      # series_id, date, value
wide = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-commodities/data/wide_daily.parquet")  # one column per series

or datasets.load_dataset("FinzData/macro-commodities"). Wide tables by frequency: wide_daily (7 series), wide_weekly (4 series), wide_monthly (37 series), wide_quarterly (11 series). series.csv lists every series with its title, units, frequency and how far back the full history goes.

The full history, point in time, through one API

The FinzData API serves every series back to its first observation, every revision (what was known on any past date, so backtests do not peek at later revisions), and daily updates, in the same format:

import finzdata as fz                     # pip install finzdata
c = fz.Client()                           # free API key: https://api.finzdata.com/
c.macro("MSPUS")                        # full history, latest values
c.macro("MSPUS", vintage="first")       # as first released
c.macro("MSPUS", as_of="2020-03-01")    # exactly what was known on that date
c.macro_series(category="commodities")          # the catalogue for this category
