Hi Everyone,
The Fed has a large amount of great data available for free but only a subset is available through the data provided by Quantconnect. Is there anyway we can expand what's available? Perhaps a generic connector that only requires your own API key would be a way to expand availabilty of the data quicker? Love to have an easier implmentation for this data.

Fair enough, but that's out of 816,000 available. I hardly expect the team here to add all of them to their data set so I thought a more general FRED “connector” might be the best way to handle this. I have hacked together access to CPI / PCE on my own but those were two key ones that I thought were missing.
