Error with max number of series that can be retrieved.

Even with a public API key, I am unable to retrieve more than 50 series at a time? Could you help me with this? Thank you!

That's a limitation of the API (see the documentation). I suppose I could do multiple pulls and merge them, which is what you should do as a workaround. Out of curiosity, what's your use case?

Hi Oliver, You are right! I forgot that limitation :) I actually just did that merge after multiple pulls. I can send you my code so you can see what I do. Perhaps you can add it to an example. Best, Chris

Moreover, given the daily limits, another approach would be to download the txt file itself.

https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu                    # directory
https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/cu.txt             # documentation
https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/cu.data.1.AllItems # be careful is big
