Hi community,
I am trying to use the download tool to get data from BLS via their API.
I can easily retrieve data from a single series (no key necessary). I need in as a JSON Format.
I do have problems when trying to get multiple series for which I need a key. I also have a key to access those data (cannot share the key for obvious reasons) but cannot set up the download tool correctly. Maybe I am misreading the API docu: https://www.bls.gov/developers/api_signature_v2.htm#multiple
Any idea how to set up the download tool to replicate the statement from the link I shared above? Should I copy this example form the docu in the payload tab of the download tool? I tried but it did not work…
payload:
{"seriesid":["Series1",..., "SeriesN"], "startyear":"yearX", "endyear":"yearY",
"catalog":true|false, "calculations":true|false, "annualaverage":true|false,"aspects":true|false,
"registrationkey":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" }
thank you !!!
