Hey y'all - creator here. I'm a hobbyist dev working with Python and this was my first serious attempt at building a CLI app.

fred-cli interfaces with the FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) API and gives you access to the ~766K economic time series they host via your terminal. Open source and will be going forward (MIT license).

Was a ton of fun learning libraries like Click[1] and about the PyPi upload process. I do plan on maintaining the project going forward (both adding features and improving current features) - so feedback is definitely appreciated!

Readme looks nice and polished. Good job on launching.

If you are looking for next steps for learning, consider writing tests. This should help get you started: https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/tests/
