Aspects (aspects)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_ASPECTS
An option you will find in the API documentation but setting this to 'true' has caused issues (in my experience) whereby some data points are no longer provided in the returning payload. Not many BLS series include this. See the BLS website for more details.
Annual Average (annualaverage)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_ANNUALAVERAGE
If selected, an annual data series will include a M13 datapoint with the annual average value. See the BLS website for more details.
End Year (endyear)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_ENDYEAR
The date you want the series to end. If left blank it will default to the current year.
Start Year (startyear)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_STARTYEAR
the year you want your data extract to start. Not the limits: you can pull up to 20 years in one go, and most data seris start at 2000, so you do the math... If left blank it will default to 2000.
Calculations (calculations)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_CALCULATIONS
Provides 1,3,6 and 12 month changes in the data in both net and percentage format. If selected, these 6 additional datapoints will be included in separate columns. See the BLS website for more details.
API Key (api-key)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_API-KEY
Your BLS issued API key. It allows you to have less rate limiting issues.
Series List File Location (series_list_file_location)
-
Environment variable:
TAP_BLS_SERIES_LIST_FILE_LOCATION
An optional absolute or relative path to the series.json. If not provided (and if the schemas directory is empty), the tap will look for a file named series.json in the same location as the config.json file.
