[Tutor] Help with running an API

[Anish Tambe]

The usage of the api as documented here - https://github.com/zachwill/fred
- suggests :

>>> import fred

# Save your FRED API key.
>>> fred.key('my_fred_api_key')

# Interact with economic data categories.
>>> fred.category()
...

Cheers,
Anish Tambe
