re_search_series

Discover real-estate series for a topic and/or exact geography.

Description

Discover real-estate series for a topic and/or exact geography.

Call re_search_geographies first when a place has not been resolved, then pass its geo_key here. The shared envelope echoes query and geo_key; each match carries its series_key, dataset/source metadata, geography, and nullable observation coverage_start/coverage_end. Results sort by series_key ascending. The limit is 1–50; when pagination.has_more is true, pass pagination.next_cursor back as cursor with the same filters. Then pass the chosen series_key to re_get_series.

Provide at least one non-blank filter. Example: geo_key cbsa_12420 plus query house price can return fhfa_hpi_at_quarterly_nsa_cbsa_12420. Errors use bad_parameter for missing filters or a malformed cursor and unknown_entity for an unknown geo_key; recover from the latter by calling re_search_geographies first.

geo_keystring | nullNonullOptional exact geography key from re_search_geographies, such as 'cbsa_12420'. Unknown keys return unknown_entity with suggestions.
