+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+fredapi is a Python interface to the `Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) <http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/>`__
+provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It works with both the FRED database and ALFRED database that
+contains point-in-time data (i.e. historic data revisions). fredapi provides a wrapper in python to the FRED
+HTTP API, and also provides several conveninent methods for parsing and analyzing point-in-time data from ALFRED.
+fredapi makes use of pandas and returns data in a Series or DataFrame. This module requires a FRED API key that
+you can obtain for free on the FRED website.
