Use cases
- Market researchers: compare GDP, population, trade, or income across target countries.
- Economists and journalists: build reproducible historical series with source links.
- Strategy teams: enrich country-market models with official development indicators.
- Developers: schedule indicator refreshes for dashboards, reports, and data warehouses.
Limitations
Countries report indicators on different schedules, and recent years may be missing or provisional. Units and methodologies differ across indicators. World Bank aggregates such as WLD are not countries. Store last_updated and confirm definitions on the linked indicator page before drawing consequential conclusions.
Compared to alternatives
Compared with parseforge/world-bank-scraper, this Actor accepts multiple indicator codes as well as multiple countries in one run and lets you choose an explicit historical range. Compared with crawlergang/world-bank-scraper, it focuses on a simple country-by-indicator export rather than requiring a mode switch, making saved monitoring Tasks easier to review.

FAQ
Where can I find indicator codes?
Search the World Bank Data catalog. Codes appear on indicator pages, such as SP.POP.TOTL for total population.
Can I compare several countries and indicators?
Yes. Every selected country is combined with every selected indicator, subject to maxResultsPerSeries.
Why are some years missing?
The source may not publish that indicator for the selected country and year. Enable includeEmptyValues if you need explicit null rows.
