Where to get a history profile of how much money has been printed by the Fed?
How validated is the info you provide, and in what sense?
The Fed’s liabilities (technically broader than the true monetary base but arguably more relevant depending on your definition of “money printing”) are released weekly in their H.4.1 release. They appear in Table 4. Right now they are about 6.3 trillion dollars, up almost 2.4 trillion from a year ago.

They’re “validated” in the sense that the Fed has internal controls, external third-party auditors, and is subject to regular Congressional oversight. 

Yes, you can find a time series from the St. Louis Fed’s FRED service.
