resp = requests.get(f"{BASE}/metadata/search", params={"query": "*leverage*"})
results = resp.json()
# Each result: {mnemonic, dataset, field, value, type}# Fetch a single time series
resp = requests.get(f"{BASE}/series/timeseries", params={
"mnemonic": "FPF-ALLQHF_LEVERAGERATIO_GAVWMEAN",
"start_date": "2015-01-01"
})
series = resp.json() # [[date, value], ...]
