Frequently Asked Questions

Which indicators can I fetch? Any World Bank indicator code. Popular ones include NY.GDP.PCAP.CD (GDP per capita), SP.POP.TOTL (population) and SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS (unemployment).

Does it cover all countries? Yes. Each run returns the chosen indicator for every country and aggregate region, one record per country and year.

Can I limit the years? Yes. Use the year range field, for example 2023 for a single year or 2015:2023 for a range.

How fresh is the data? Records are read live at run time, so each reflects the source at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
