Examples

using var fred = new FredRateProvider(new FredRateProviderOptions { ApiKey = "…" });
await fred.LoadPairAsync("EUR", "USD", new DateOnly(2023, 1, 1), new DateOnly(2023, 1, 31));

RateLookupResult usd = fred.GetRate("EUR", "USD", new DateOnly(2023, 1, 3));

Remarks

The provider derives from PairWebRateProvider<TSeries>, which supplies the per-pair coverage tracking, single-flight coalescing, fetch-and-accumulate orchestration, and diagnostic logging shared by every pair-based web source; this type contributes only the FRED identity and exception text. A pair is fetched by resolving it to a single FRED series through SeriesMap and reading that series' observations. Use LoadPairAsync(string, string, DateOnly, DateOnly, CancellationToken) to warm a pair's in-memory store.

Per-series mapping. FRED publishes each foreign-exchange rate as an independent time series quoted in a fixed direction. A pair with no mapped series yields no data rather than a fetch; the reverse of a mapped pair is served by the base class's inverse-lookup fallback. Add mappings through SeriesMap to support additional pairs.

HttpClient ownership. The constructor that takes only options builds and owns an HttpClient configured with the options' UserAgent and HttpTimeout, disposing it with the provider. The constructor that takes an HttpClient uses the caller-supplied client as-is; this is the path the dependency-injection package uses.

Constructors

FredRateProvider(FredRateProviderOptions, ILogger?, TimeProvider?)

Initializes a new instance of the FredRateProvider class backed by an HttpClient the provider creates and owns, configured from the supplied options.

public FredRateProvider(FredRateProviderOptions options, ILogger? logger = null, TimeProvider? timeProvider = null)

Parameters

options FredRateProviderOptions

The provider options.

logger ILogger

The logger that records downloads and on-demand network fetches. null selects a no-op logger.

timeProvider TimeProvider

The time source used to resolve the current instant for the undated lookup surface. null selects System.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Thrown when options is null.

ArgumentException

Thrown when options fails validation.

FredRateProvider(HttpClient, FredRateProviderOptions, ILogger?, TimeProvider?)

Initializes a new instance of the FredRateProvider class backed by the FRED endpoint, queried with the caller-supplied HTTP client. The caller owns the client's configuration and lifetime.

public FredRateProvider(HttpClient httpClient, FredRateProviderOptions options, ILogger? logger = null, TimeProvider? timeProvider = null)

Parameters

httpClient HttpClient

The HTTP client used to issue requests.

options FredRateProviderOptions

The provider options.

logger ILogger

The logger that records downloads and on-demand network fetches. null selects a no-op logger.

timeProvider TimeProvider

The time source used to resolve the current instant for the undated lookup surface. null selects System.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Thrown when httpClient or options is null.

ArgumentException

Thrown when options fails validation.

Fields

ProviderName

The provider identifier stamped on every rate this provider produces.

public const string ProviderName = "FRED"

Field Value

string

Properties

ProviderId

Gets the provider identifier stamped on every rate this provider produces.

protected override string ProviderId { get; }

Property Value

string

The provider identifier.

Methods

FormatRateNotFound(string, string, DateOnly)

Formats the message for the KeyNotFoundException thrown when a single-rate lookup fails. Derived types may override to use a feed-specific resource string.

protected override string FormatRateNotFound(string fromIsoCode, string toIsoCode, DateOnly date)

Parameters

fromIsoCode string

The source-currency ISO code.

toIsoCode string

The destination-currency ISO code.

date DateOnly

The requested date.

Returns

string

The exception message.
