The most efficient way to download vintage data is to select the ‘Download Data’ link on each ALFRED series page. The advantages of this method are that it allows users to specify multiple vintage dates of a single series on one form, and a user account is not needed to retrieve data. For example, consider the ‘Download Data’ link on the Series: GNPC96, Real Gross National Product page. The ‘Download Data’ link takes you to the series’ download data form on the ALFRED website.
