[dmpe]

Hi,
it would have been really nice if you could add to Fred() call also proxy settings.
Thanks

Hi,
as an alternative you can use package pystlouisfed, where it is possible to set parameters from requests.request

from pystlouisfed import FRED

fred = FRED(
    api_key='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456',
    request_params={
        'proxies': {
            "http": 'http://127.0.0.1:3128',
            "https": 'http://127.0.0.1:3128'
        }
    })

df = fred.series_observations(series_id='GDP')
