get_indicatorread-onlyFetch a compact snapshot of an American Default economic indicator by slug. Returns latest value, unit, frequency, direction, pre-computed aggregates (period averages, extremes, sustained runs), editorial prose (when available), and canonical APA / MLA / Chicago / news-copy citations. Raw historical series is NOT included â use https://americandefault.org/api/indicators/{slug}.json for the full
get_indicator_v2read-onlyFetch an explicitly versioned compact indicator snapshot. Returns the latest value and canonical citation plus `trend_suppressed` and `series_breaks` comparison-safety fields. Callers must pass `response_version='v2'`; unsupported versions fail closed. The legacy `get_indicator` tool remains pinned to its original v1 shape.
get_county_scorecardread-onlyFetch a county's County Distress Index (CDI) scorecard by 5-digit FIPS code. Returns composite score (0-100), score label, national + state rank, 5-domain breakdown (Delinquency, Default & Legal, Debt Burden, Labor, Safety Net & Buffer), key findings, and pre-baked APA / MLA / Chicago / news-copy citations. Accepts 4-digit FIPS with implicit leading zero. 3,144 counties available.
get_adi_compositeread-onlyFetch the latest quarterly reading of the American Distress Index (ADI) composite. Returns the composite score (0-100), band (1-5) with its label and the literal reading gloss, the composite's own rank in history, and the five-domain breakdown (Delinquency, Default & Legal, Debt Burden, Labor, Safety Net & Buffer) with domain scores and member component percentiles. Updated quarterly.
search_indicatorsread-onlySearch the 103-indicator registry by keyword. Returns ranked matches (up to `limit`, default 10, max 50) with slug, branded name, underlying name, category, and canonical URL. Scoring is substring+prefix over slug, branded_name, name, and category â e.g. query 'savings' returns both The Buffer (personal saving rate) and The Safety Net (emergency savings survey). Use this when you want to discove
get_cross_correlationsread-onlyFetch statistically-validated leading/lagging relationships for an indicator. Source: the five-filter leading-indicator scanner (cross-correlation â first-differenced CCF â multi-crisis validation â Granger causality â out-of-sample validation). Returns two lists: `as_leader` (pairs where this indicator precedes its follower) and `as_follower` (pairs where another indicator precedes this o
