Hi Artur,
Thanks very much for the quick response. The reason my Ubuntu has
Gretl 2023c is because this is the repository version and I do not
feel confident to compile the 2025b version.
If anybody can suggest how to access the FRED database directly with
a Hansl script that would be an even better option (The copy of the
FRED database included with Gretl unfortunately does not have all the
variables which I need).
I've been thinking about a function package for grabbing data from
FRED (similar to yahoo_get) for a while. I think I have a relatively
clear idea on how to proceed.
When I have a prototype, I'll send a message to the list.
That would be great, jack! Currently, I am grabbing series via bash +
wget (simply downloading csv files), before importing to gretl.
Maybe some helpful resources for you, Jack:
