How to request it
When this dataset appears in your account’s catalog, select its version, supported fields and exact entity identifiers. Set a short date range and an as_of time, then request a small page. The record key identifies a row; it is not necessarily the identifier accepted by the query filter.
HTTP request template
This is a template, not a currently available request. Fill each variable from the authenticated catalog and your intended query. The Explorer can generate a complete request for an available dataset.
curl --fail-with-body --get "$ORIGINFOLD_API_URL/v1/data/macro.us.observations" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $ORIGINFOLD_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "dataset_version=$DATASET_VERSION" \
