Time-series for any World Bank indicator (GDP, inflation, population, unemployment…) for any country and year range.

Return the full time series for World Bank development indicators (e.g. GDP, CPI, population) for chosen countries — free, official World Bank data. No account, no API key, and no proxies — this Actor reads a stable public API and returns clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull straight from the Apify API.

Features

  • Fast & reliable — hits a stable public endpoint, so runs don't get blocked or break on layout changes.
  • 🎯 Clean structured output — every result is a flat record with consistent fields (country, indicator, date, value).
  • 🔁 Batch & schedulable — pass multiple queries in one run, or schedule it for a always-fresh feed.
  • 🔌 Integrates everywhere — export JSON/CSV/Excel or connect via the API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and 5,000+ integrations.

Who it's for

Economists, researchers, journalists, fintech, and analysts.

Common use cases

  • Market, competitor, and trend research

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result: you're billed only for the records you actually get. No monthly fee, and empty runs cost nothing — so it's dramatically cheaper than manual research or bloated data subscriptions.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or login? No — it uses a public endpoint. How fresh is the data? It's fetched live on every run, so it's as current as the source. Can I run it automatically? Yes — schedule it (hourly / daily / weekly) or trigger it via API or webhook. How do I get more results? Increase maxItems, or pass several queries in a single run. What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or via the API.

Notes

This Actor reads a public API. Please use it responsibly and within the data provider's terms of service.
