Change formats

You can get the same data in a NumPy array: data = nasdaqdatalink.get("EIA/PET_RWTC_D", returns="numpy")

Make a filtered time-series call

To set start and end dates:
data = nasdaqdatalink.get("FRED/GDP", start_date="2001-12-31", end_date="2005-12-31")

To request specific columns:
data = nasdaqdatalink.get(["USTREASURY/YIELD.2", "FRED/GDP.1"])

data = nasdaqdatalink.get("USTREASURY/YIELD", rows=5)
This request will return the 5 most recent records.

Preprocess the data

To change the sampling frequency:
data = nasdaqdatalink.get("EIA/PET_RWTC_D", collapse="monthly")

To perform elementary calculations on the data: data = nasdaqdatalink.get("FRED/GDP", transformation="rdiff")
