World Bank Data API

Description

The World Bank Data API provides access to a wide array of economic, financial, and social data from over 200 countries. It allows developers to integrate World Bank datasets into their applications and services, facilitating data-driven decision-making for research and policy development.

What can you use it for?

Build an interactive dashboard of country GDP trends, a comparator to rank countries on development metrics, or an automated report that tracks indicators over time. You can fetch time-series indicators, country and topic metadata, and SDMX exports directly via simple HTTP endpoints. Responses come in JSON or XML and the API requires no key, so you can prototype quickly without signing up. It’s great for teaching, research, small apps and public-data experiments.
