# 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** (2025-11-03 on) of each series' latest values. It is refreshed weekly.

```python
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:

```python
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
```
