It supports toggling between free and premium API endpoints based on user credentials, allowing users to access more detailed or exclusive economic data if they have premium access. This node is useful for financial analysts, economists, or developers who need to integrate real-time or historical economic indicators into their applications or workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. A financial analyst uses the node to fetch economic codes to categorize and analyze economic indicators for market research.
2. An application integrates the node to display up-to-date economic codes and related data for users interested in economic trends.
