Getting started

Connect ToolRouter and choose Finance Data. Use the US region for reference rates. No separate New York Fed API key is needed.

Cost

Finance Data lists benchmark rates and its Fed securities-holdings action as free. Your assistant may charge separately.

Coverage and things to know
  • Overnight reference rates describe reported markets; they are not the Federal Reserve target range or a lending quote.
  • The rate lookup returns recent observations, not a historical rate series.
  • SOMA is a securities portfolio, not the entire Federal Reserve balance sheet. Check holdings fields and units against the original release before calculating totals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get SOFR in Claude?

Connect ToolRouter and request US benchmark rates from Finance Data. Ask for SOFR with its observation date.

Is this the same source as FRED?

No. This connection requests the New York Fed’s own markets data. FRED is a separate economic-data service that also distributes many published series.
