curl -s "https://api.economicdata.dev/v1/bea-county-income/annual/usa.json"

# Every series and place in one file
curl -sO "https://api.economicdata.dev/v1/bea-county-income/download/bea-county-income.csv"

import polars as pl

# One series for one place
df = pl.read_csv("https://api.economicdata.dev/v1/bea-county-income/annual/usa.csv")

# Every series and place, with series and location columns
everything = pl.read_parquet("https://api.economicdata.dev/v1/bea-county-income/download/bea-county-income.parquet")

const res = await fetch("https://api.economicdata.dev/v1/bea-county-income/annual/usa.json");
if (!res.ok) throw new Error((await res.json()).detail); // errors are problem+json
const { meta, data } = await res.json();
console.log(meta.location_name, data.at(-1)); // { date, value, ... }
