Look up any World Bank economic indicator — GDP, inflation, unemployment, population, life expectancy, and hundreds more — for one or more countries over recent years, via the official World Bank Open Data API.
Built for market research, macro analysis, and country-risk teams comparing countries without downloading World Bank's own CSV exports.
Input
{"countries": ["USA", "GBR", "JPN"],"indicatorCode": "FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG","mostRecentYears": 5}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
countries | array of strings (required) | One or more ISO 3-letter country codes, e.g. "USA", "GBR", "JPN", "IND". |
indicatorCode | string (required) | A World Bank indicator code. Common ones: NY.GDP.MKTP.CD (GDP, current US$), NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG (GDP growth %), FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG (inflation %), SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS (unemployment %), SP.POP.TOTL (population), SP.DYN.LE00.IN (life expectancy). Browse the full catalog at data.worldbank.org/indicator. |
mostRecentYears | number | How many of the most recent years (per country) to return. Default 5, max 20. |
Output
One record per country per year:
{"countryCode": "GBR","countryName": "United Kingdom","indicatorCode": "FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG","indicatorName": "Inflation, consumer prices (annual %)","year": "2025","value": 3.88306881626}
Years with no reported data for a country are skipped rather than returned as a null row. An invalid country code or indicator code returns a clear error instead of an empty result set — the World Bank API returns HTTP 200 with an embedded error object in that case, which this actor detects and surfaces properly.
How it works
Direct calls to the official World Bank Open Data API — no proxy, no key, no scraping. Data is licensed CC-BY 4.0 and explicitly open for reuse, including commercial use with attribution.
Pricing note
Billed per lookup (one run), not per value returned — one charge whether you request 1 country/1 year or 20 countries/20 years.
