IMF Economic Data API

healthy 3,762 Subscribers

Live macroeconomic data from the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook — the official cross-country numbers, served from the public IMF DataMapper, no key, nothing stored. GDP, real GDP growth, inflation, gross government debt, unemployment, the current-account balance, GDP per capita and 120-plus other indicators for 200-plus countries, with the IMF's historical record back to 1980 and its forecasts several years into the future. The indicators endpoint lists every series the IMF publishes, with an optional search. The series endpoint returns one indicator's full time series for one country — every year, actual and projected. The country endpoint returns a snapshot of a country's headline numbers — real GDP growth, inflation, government debt as a share of GDP, unemployment, current-account balance and GDP per capita — across recent and forecast years. Compare economies, track the debt and growth outlook and pull the same numbers policymakers use, as live JSON. This is the IMF macro / economic-indicator cut — distinct from the FX-rate, central-bank and market-data APIs in the catalogue.

DBnomics API

Economic data from 90+ official providers as one API, powered by DBnomics. DBnomics aggregates the public statistics of the IMF, OECD, Eurostat, the European Central Bank, the World Bank, the BIS, the US Federal Reserve and Bureau of Labor Statistics, national statistics offices and dozens more — millions of time series — into a single, consistent interface. List the data providers; search datasets across every provider at once by keyword; read a dataset's details and its dimensions (the codes you combine to pick a series); and fetch a series with its full observations (period and value) plus the latest data point. The typical flow is search → dataset → series. Ideal for macroeconomic and financial dashboards, data-science and research pipelines, fintech and economics apps, and anyone who needs GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest-rate, trade or monetary series from authoritative sources. Data is free and open.

Economic Calendar API

Live macroeconomic-event calendar — the macro releases that move currencies, rates and the whole market — served straight from Nasdaq's public economic calendar feed (no key, nothing cached). These are GDP, CPI and inflation, central-bank rate decisions, unemployment and non-farm payrolls, industrial production, trade balances, PMI and consumer sentiment, across every major economy. For any date the events endpoint lists each release with its scheduled GMT time, the country, the event name, the actual print once released, the consensus forecast, the previous reading and a description of what the indicator measures and why it matters — you can filter by country or by event name. The week endpoint returns the whole week ahead from a date in a single call — the calendar every forex and rates trader plans around — and the countries endpoint shows which economies report on a date and how many events each has. This is the macro-event layer for any trading, forex, research or dashboard app: what prints, when, and what the market expects. Live from Nasdaq, nothing stored. Distinct from corporate-events APIs (earnings, dividends, splits) and from price and FX-rate APIs — this is the macroeconomic calendar. 4 endpoints.

Eurostat API

Official European Union statistics as an API, powered by Eurostat — the statistical office of the EU. Eurostat publishes harmonised data across every EU and EFTA country and region: population and demography, GDP and national accounts, employment and unemployment, inflation (HICP), trade, energy, migration, education, health and thousands more datasets. This API wraps Eurostat's JSON-stat dissemination service into clean, decoded rows, and adds friendly named indicators so you don't have to learn dataset codes. /v1/indicator?indicator=population&geo=DE&year=2023 returns a named statistic — population, gdp, gdp_per_capita, unemployment, inflation or employment — for one or more countries (2-letter codes such as DE, FR, IT, or aggregates like EU27_2020 and EA20) and one or more years, with no need to know the underlying dataset or dimension codes. /v1/data?dataset=demo_pjan&geo=DE&sex=T&age=TOTAL&time=2023 gives direct access to any of Eurostat's thousands of datasets by its code, with arbitrary dimension filters passed as query parameters — every dataset has its own dimensions (geo, time, sex, age, unit, na_item, coicop and so on). Both endpoints decode Eurostat's JSON-stat format automatically: single-value dimensions are lifted into a `fixed` context block, and each row carries the dimensions that actually vary (with both a human-readable label and the underlying code) alongside the numeric value, the dataset label and the last-update date. Ideal for economic dashboards, country comparison tools, research, data journalism and policy analysis. Country codes are 2-letter ISO; aggregates include EU27_2020 and EA20. Data © European Union, free to reuse with attribution.

World Bank API

Economic and development data for every country, drawn from the World Bank Open Data catalogue. Pull a clean time series for any of roughly 1,500 indicators — GDP, population, inflation, life expectancy, CO₂ emissions, internet use and far more — for a chosen country and year range; list and filter countries by region or income level with capital and coordinates; look up a single country; and search the indicator catalogue to discover the codes you need. Authoritative open data returned as tidy JSON through a fast, reliable API. Ideal for fintech and research, economic dashboards and BI tools, data journalism, education and development analytics.
