World Bank Project Records — Development Pipeline

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

Who this is for and the decision it supports

Development-finance analysts, contractors, suppliers and researchers tracking the World Bank's lending and project pipeline by country and status.

One record answers: what is this World Bank project, its country, status, instrument and committed amount — an input to pipeline tracking, bid targeting, and development-finance analysis.

What one record is

Each record is one World Bank project: id, name, country, region, status, lending instrument, committed and total amounts, sector, themes, approval and closing dates, and abstract.

Your first run

Paste this input and run it:

{
  "countryCode": "RW",
  "maxRecords": 10
}

Filter by country code and get the project pipeline as clean JSON in seconds. Here is a real record from that exact input:

{
  "record_id": "P505244",
  "project_id": "P505244",
  "project_name": "Boosting Green Finance, Investment and Trade in Rwanda",
  "country": "Rwanda",
  "country_codes": [
    "RW"
  ],
  "region": "Eastern and Southern Africa",
  "status": "Active",
  "lending_instrument": "Development Policy Lending",
  "lending_instrument_type": "AD",
  "product_line": "IBRD/IDA",
  "total_commitment": "200,000,000",
  "total_amount": "200,000,000"
}

What the sample costs: $0.05 per record. The sample above delivers 10 records, so it costs at most $0.50.

Pulling in bulk

Drop the country filter and raise Maximum records to pull the global active portfolio. A buyer pulls the pipeline for a country or region, or the whole active portfolio, to monitor new approvals and status changes.

To expand from the sample: raise Maximum records, and widen any filters shown in the input. You are billed only for records actually delivered, so a sample stays cheap and a full pull is predictable.

When to run it again

The World Bank updates projects continuously as they are approved and change status; re-run weekly or monthly to catch new and changed projects.

Update schedule: The World Bank Projects API is updated on an ongoing basis as approvals and status changes are recorded. Verified live: active projects return with recent approval dates and current status.

How this is different

Official World Bank project pipeline — distinct from procurement-notice feeds; this is the project/lending layer, not individual tenders.

Limitations (source coverage vs product coverage)

• This is the project/lending record, not the individual procurement notices under each project.
• Committed amounts are as recorded by the World Bank and may be revised.
• Coverage is World Bank (IBRD/IDA) projects, not other development banks.

FAQ

Is this tenders/procurement?

No. It is the project pipeline. Procurement notices are a separate feed.

How current is status?

The API updates continuously; re-run to refresh. A project marked Active was active as of the run's observed_at.

What does an empty run mean?

No project matched your country/status filter — check the ISO country code or widen the status.

Source, licence and how it is built

Source and licence are carried on every record (source, licence, attribution, observed_at). The actor reads only the official public endpoint, honours the source's robots and licence terms, and emits values unmodified with full provenance. Records are keyed on a stable id so re-runs upsert cleanly into a table you keep. Row delivery and billing are exactly equal: you are charged once per record delivered (push-then-charge), so an empty run costs nothing.
