Vintage date limit

almostintuitive opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi Tomas!

We'd love to use this library, but there's one thing blocking us: that ALFRED implemented a limit of allowing only 2000 rows at max for vintage requests.
This means calls with OutputType.initial_release_only are failing for almost all series (including "GDP").
There's a fix for the other python library that these guys put together: mortada/fredapi#52

Would you consider implementing something similar?

Thank you!

Mark

Hi Mark,
thank you for the issue! This definitely needs to be fixed, otherwise the FRED.series_observations method will not be fully functional. Unfortunately, it's another undocumented surprise :-/...
