# FRED release table - hierarchical table tree with inline observation values

`GET /api/v1/fred/release/tables`

Returns a FRED release's table as a hierarchical element tree. With values (default), ONE call returns every series element in the subtree with its inline observation - no per-series fan-out. Omit element_id to discover the top-level element IDs. Pass one or more observation dates (comma-separated, up to 12); dates snap to the release period start. Values are returned AS-IS in each table's native units.

## Query parameters

- `release_id` integer, required — FRED release ID (required). Discover via /fred/search.
- `element_id` integer, nullable — A table element ID to drill into. Omit to list top-level elements.
- `date` string, nullable — Observation date(s) YYYY-MM-DD, comma-separated (max 12). Omit for the latest.
- `include_observation_values` boolean — Include inline observation values (the bulk-curve mode).

## Response `200`

Flattened release-table rows (or section/table elements when no values). operation_id auto-generated as `fred_release_tables`.
