World Bank, World Development Indicators

How the data is collected
Indicators API v2, JSON, one request per indicator for all economies. No key required. Per-series licence read from the metadata API.
Annual series are checked about once a week and monthly or quarterly series daily. A check that finds no change does not create a new version. The most recent change was collected on 9 November 2026.
Measures by frequency: Annual 113 .
