COLLECTION & INTEGRATION
FRED and ALFRED, with series-specific meaning
GDELT Cloud collects eligible series metadata, observations and point-in-time vintages from FRED and ALFRED. Redistribution-restricted series are excluded from queries. Each series keeps its own units, frequency, originating agency and attribution.
How to use it in your workflow
The saved example retrieves DTWEXBGS, the Nominal Broad U.S. Dollar Index. Use this series when a workflow specifically needs broad US-dollar context. Retrieve observations for the analysis window and preserve observation dates; the series is not a generic economic indicator for every country and does not establish why an Event happened.
For country background, the broader data catalog also includes World Bank indicators and other official sources. Match an indicator to its country, units and publication vintage before combining it with reporting.
Coverage and limitations
Source terms vary by series. Some series are unavailable because redistribution is restricted. Observations cannot predate 1970. Revisions and publication lags matter; use supported vintage parameters where applicable. GDELT Cloud is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
