Description

  • Summary of the change/ bug fix.

The Atlanta Fed moved its data downloads under /-/media/Project/Atlanta/FRBA/Documents/research-and-data/. The old paths now redirect to /error, so every Atlanta data command fails:

OpenBBError: [Unexpected Error] -> HTTPError -> 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://www.atlantafed.org/error

Affected: gdpnow, wage_growth, sticky_cpi, business_inflation_expectations, business_uncertainty, market_probability, taylor_rule, taylor_rule_measures, taylor_rule_heatmap.

This points the seven URL constants at the links on the current Atlanta Fed data pages. Two file names changed as well: bie.xlsx is now bie-data.xlsx and stickyprice.xlsx is now sticky-price-data.xlsx. The workbook layouts are unchanged, so the parsers need no change.

This is separate from #7754, which covers the Dallas, Kansas City and FFIEC fetchers.

How has this been tested?

Ran the 15 documented examples of the Atlanta router with an empty cache (OPENBB_FEDERAL_RESERVE_CACHE_DIR set to a new directory):

  • develop: 15 of 15 fail with the 404 above.
  • this branch: 15 of 15 return data, e.g. gdpnow (latest row 2026-10-29, "Initial GDPNow 26:Q4 forecast"), wage_growth 356 rows, sticky_cpi 716 rows, business_inflation_expectations 181 rows, taylor_rule 288 rows.

tests/test_atlanta_models.py passes. The rest of the regional tests give the same result as on develop.

  • Ensure all unit and integration tests pass.

The Atlanta Fed moved its data downloads under
/-/media/Project/Atlanta/FRBA/Documents/research-and-data/. The old
paths now redirect to /error, so every Atlanta data command (gdpnow,
wage_growth, sticky_cpi, business_inflation_expectations,
business_uncertainty, market_probability, taylor_rule,
taylor_rule_measures, taylor_rule_heatmap) fails with
"HTTPError -> 404 Client Error: Not Found for url:
https://www.atlantafed.org/error".

Use the links the current Atlanta Fed data pages publish. Two file
names changed as well (bie.xlsx is now bie-data.xlsx, stickyprice.xlsx
is now sticky-price-data.xlsx); the workbook layouts the parsers read
are unchanged.
