# US macro data: Energy (2,021 series)

2,021 energy 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.

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

or `datasets.load_dataset("FinzData/macro-energy")`. Wide tables by frequency: `wide_daily` (487 series), `wide_weekly` (196 series), `wide_monthly` (1338 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("FZCURVE_BRENT_WTI")                        # full history, latest values
c.macro("FZCURVE_BRENT_WTI", vintage="first")       # as first released
c.macro("FZCURVE_BRENT_WTI", as_of="2020-03-01")    # exactly what was known on that date
c.macro_series(category="energy")          # the catalogue for this category
```
