Arguments

category_id

An integer ID for the category.

...

These dots only exist for future extensions and should be empty.

tag_names

A string indicating which series tags to match. Multiple tags can be delimited by a semicolon in a single string (e.g. "usa;gnp").

tag_group_id

  • "geot" - Geography Type

  • "rls" - Release

  • "seas" - Seasonal Adjustment

limit

An positive integer indicating maximum number of results to return. Possible values are any integer between 1 and 1000 (default), inclusive.

offset

order_by

Order results by values of the specified attribute. Possible values include: "series_count" (default), "popularity"``, "created", "name", "group_id"'.

sort_order

A string representing the order of the resulting series. Possible values are: "asc" (default), and "desc".

realtime_start

A Date indicating the start of the real-time period. Defaults to today's date. For more information, see Real-Time Periods.

realtime_end

A Date indicating the end of the real-time period. Defaults to today's date. For more information, see Real-Time Periods.

Value

A tibble object information on tags matching the request and their descriptions. Data include tag name, group ID, popularity, series count, tag creation date, and additional notes.
