Frequently Asked Questions
What data sources does GeoWire use?
All economic data comes from the FRED API maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. We fetch 13 key indicators including Treasury yields, unemployment, oil prices, consumer sentiment, and credit spreads.
How often is the data refreshed?
Free tier data refreshes hourly. Pro tier receives real-time updates as FRED publishes new observations. Both tiers fall back to cached seed data if the FRED API is temporarily unavailable.
Can I use the API programmatically?
Yes. The recession-score and FRED proxy endpoints are available at /api/v1/recession-score and /api/v1/fred/[seriesId]. Free tier is limited to 10 calls per day; Pro tier allows 500.
What does the composite score mean?
The composite score is a weighted combination of six econometric models, calibrated against historical NBER recession dates. A score above 50% indicates that more models are signaling recession risk than not. See the About page for full methodology.
