CPIU

CPIU is a Node.js interface for CPI-U data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CPI-U data are commonly used for calculating inflation. More info on the BLS Public Data API is available here.

Neither I nor BLS.gov can vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov.

Installation

Requires Node.js 6 or up. Get the module with npm install cpiu and use it with var cpiu = require('cpiu');.

Copy .env.example to .env (or create a .env file with the environment variable BLS_API_KEY) and enter your BLS API key, which can be obtained here.

Usage

API documentation can be found here.

Better documentation, including examples, is pending.
