The CI link checker reports timeouts (status 0) for FRED links in pandas.md — these are false positives caused by network restrictions in the CI environment, not actually broken links.

Change

  • Added https://fred.stlouisfed.org/.* to linkcheck_ignore in lectures/_config.yml, matching both the root URL and all subpaths (e.g. /series/UNRATE)
linkcheck_ignore: [
  ...
  'https://fred.stlouisfed.org/.*'
]
