2. Add a .properties file, e.g., biz.properties, to your RAMADDA home directory directory.

   fred.api.key=<your key>
   

3. Once RAMADDA is restarted you can create a Fred Category entry (File->Pick a Type...). If you do not provide a Category ID then the data from the top-level category is shown, e.g. : https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/categories Else, to import a specific category, e.g., Money, Banking & Finance (https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/categories/32991) enter the category ID, e.g. 32991.

EIA Data

1. Get a EIA API key
2. Add a .properties file, e.g., biz.properties, to your RAMADDA home directory directory.

   eia.api.key=<your key>
   

3. Once RAMADDA is restarted you can create a EIA Category entry (File->Pick a Type...). If you do not provide a Category ID then the data from the top-level category is shown, e.g. : http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/qb.cfm Else, to import a specific category, e.g., Natural Gas (http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/qb.cfm?category=714804) enter the category ID, e.g. 714804.
