About this data
The broadest measure of Alaska's economy: quarterly GDP in current dollars and chained (2017) dollars, total and by industry, seasonally adjusted at annual rates. Alaska's headline quirk is that nominal GDP swings with oil prices — mining (oil & gas) is roughly a quarter of state GDP, so the current-dollar series tells an oil-price story while real GDP tells the volume story. Quarterly data from 2005; the annual NAICS series reaches back to 1997.

- Endpoint:
https://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?UserID={BEA_API_KEY}&method=GetData&datasetname=Regional&TableName=SQGDP2&LineCode=1&GeoFips=02000&Year=ALL&ResultFormat=json(SQGDP9 for real). One LineCode per request — industry detail means one call per line code, so start with line 1 (all-industry total) only. DataValuecomes back as a string with thousands separators ("75,289.6") — strip commas before parsing. Millions of dollars; don't double-convert.- The API returns HTTP 200 with an error object in the body when parameters are wrong or the key is over quota — check for
Results.Error, don't trust the status code. TimePeriodformat is2025Q3— parse to quarter-end or quarter-start dates consistently.- Table names have churn history (pre-2017 the tables were
RegionalProduct/different IDs; a comprehensive revision could rename again). IfSQGDP2starts erroring, callmethod=GetParameterValues&ParameterName=TableNameto list current tables. - Every release revises history; fetch
Year=ALLand full-replace, diffing snapshots to surface revisions.
