The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## World Bank Indicator Monitor Fetch World Bank economic and social indicators for multiple countries and emit clean Apify dataset rows. This Actor is designed for analysts, data teams, RAG pipelines, dashboards, and automation workflows that need repeatable snapshots of public World Bank time-series data without writing custom API glue. ### Use cases - Monitor GDP, unemployment, inflation, population, trade, and development indicators across country lists. - Feed scheduled public macroeconomic snapshots into BI tools, spreadsheets, warehouses, or webhooks. - Compare the same indicator across multiple countries with one Apify run. - Build lightweight economic-data alerts by scheduling this Actor and consuming dataset rows. ### Input ```json { "countries": ["US", "DE"], "indicators": ["NY.GDP.MKTP.CD", "SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS"], "dateRange": "2020:2025", "perPage": 1000, "maxItems": 1000, "includeMetadata": true } ```` `countries` accepts World Bank country codes such as `US`, `DE`, `IN`, `BR`, or aggregate codes such as `WLD`. `indicators` accepts any World Bank indicator code. The Actor fetches every country/indicator pair and stops at `maxItems`. ### Output Each dataset row represents one country, indicator, and date: ```json { "source": "world-bank", "countryId": "US", "countryIso3Code": "USA", "countryName": "United States", "indicatorId": "NY.GDP.MKTP.CD", "indicatorName": "GDP (current US$)", "date": "2023", "value": 27811517000000, "unit": "", "fetchedAt": "2026-07-05T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` If an upstream request fails, the Actor writes a structured error row with the country, indicator, URL, HTTP status, and error message, then continues with the remaining pairs. ### Notes This Actor uses the public World Bank API and does not require an API key. Users are responsible for validating that their downstream use of World Bank data matches their own licensing and attribution requirements. # Actor input Schema ## `countries` (type: `array`): World Bank country codes such as US, DE, IN, BR, or WLD. ## `indicators` (type: `array`): World Bank indicator codes to fetch. ## `dateRange` (type: `string`): Optional World Bank date range, for example 2020:2025. ## `perPage` (type: `integer`): Rows requested per country and indicator. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap for dataset rows. ## `includeMetadata` (type: `boolean`): Include World Bank page metadata on every row. ## `timeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-request timeout. ## Actor input object example ```json { "countries": [ "US", "DE" ], "indicators": [ "NY.GDP.MKTP.CD", "SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS" ], "dateRange": "2020:2025", "perPage": 1000, "maxItems": 1000, "includeMetadata": true, "timeoutSecs": 30 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
