List FRED observations

Point-in-time observations for a single series. Optional as_of selects the vintage known on/before that date (ALFRED — no look-ahead); otherwise the latest vintage is returned. When no dates are given, returns the most-recent observations across the full available history, bounded by limit — page further back via next_cursor; there is no fixed trailing window. Discover a valid series_id via GET /api/v2/macro/series or the catalog: https://docs.gdeltcloud.com/api-reference/macro-series-catalog. Requires a plan with Macro & economic data access (can_use_macro) — the Corporate & Supply Chain and Global Intelligence plans.
