| # US macro data: Electricity (244 series) |
|
|
| 244 electricity series from US government sources, cleaned into one consistent format and ready for pandas. |
| This free package holds the **last 12 months** (2025-11-02 on) of each series' latest values. It is refreshed weekly. |
|
|
| ```python |
| import pandas as pd |
| df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-electricity/data/long.parquet") # series_id, date, value |
| wide = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-electricity/data/wide_monthly.parquet") # one column per series |
| ``` |
|
|
| or `datasets.load_dataset("FinzData/macro-electricity")`. Wide tables by frequency: `wide_monthly` (213 series), `wide_quarterly` (28 series), `wide_semiannual` (3 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("WPU054") # full history, latest values |
| c.macro("WPU054", vintage="first") # as first released |
| c.macro("WPU054", as_of="2020-03-01") # exactly what was known on that date |
| c.macro_series(category="electricity") # the catalogue for this category |
| ``` |
