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.

The all-time Olympic medal table as an API — cumulative Summer and Winter Olympic results for every National Olympic Committee. For each country: its NOC code and, split into Summer / Winter / Combined, the number of Games attended and the gold, silver, bronze and total medals won. Look a country up by name or NOC code, rank countries by any medal metric (all-time gold, winter gold, totals and more), or search. A stable sports reference for quiz, media, sports and data-viz apps. Distinct from single-Games results.

Income-inequality data for every country as an API — the World Bank Gini index, the standard measure of how evenly income is distributed. The coefficient runs from 0 (perfect equality) to 100 (one person holds all income); a higher number means a more unequal society. For each of 170+ countries the API returns the latest available value, the full year-by-year history and the all-time minimum and maximum, enriched with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code and flag emoji. Look a country up by name or code, RANK countries by their latest inequality (the most or least equal in the world), search, or list them all. The reference an economics dashboard, data-journalism piece or research tool needs. Distinct from countrystats-api (area, population, life expectancy) — this is the inequality series specifically, with per-country history. Served from memory — always fast.

Geographic, demographic and political statistics for every country as an API — the reference a research dashboard, data-journalism piece or analytics tool needs. For each country: its government type, whether it is landlocked, surface area (km²), population, population density (people/km²) and life expectancy (years), enriched with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code and flag emoji. Look a country up by name or code, or RANK every country by any numeric statistic — the ten largest by area, the most densely populated, the highest life expectancy — in ascending or descending order. Search by name or government type, or list them all. This is the country statistics reference — distinct from countries-api (ISO identifiers: codes, dialing, currency, region) and disease-api (public-health data). Served from memory — always fast.

The dish most associated with each country as an API — a small, fun reference for travel, food, quiz and trivia apps. Built on the open country-json national-dish dataset and enriched with each country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code and Unicode flag emoji. Look up a country's national dish by country name or code, search dishes and countries by keyword (for example, find every country whose national dish involves rice), or list them all. Served from memory — always fast.

National flag design as an API — built on the classic UCI "Flags" dataset (194 countries) and enriched with each country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, its Unicode flag emoji and ready-to-use SVG / PNG image URLs. For each flag the API exposes its real design attributes: the number of vertical bars and horizontal stripes, the colours present, the predominant ("main") hue, the colours of the top-left and bottom-right corners, and which symbols appear — circles, crosses, saltires, quartered fields, stars or suns, a crescent, a triangle, an inanimate icon (e.g. an anchor), an animate image (e.g. an eagle) or written text. Look a flag up by country or code, search, or FILTER flags by colour, main hue or symbol — "every flag with a crescent", "flags that are mainly green". Served from memory — always fast.

Get the localized display name of a code in any language — countries and regions, languages, currencies, scripts and calendars. Pass a code, a type and a locale and the name endpoint returns the right name: US as region in fr gives "États-Unis", de as language in fr gives "allemand", EUR as currency gives "Euro", and the same code reads correctly in German, Japanese, Arabic or any other locale. The list endpoint returns every code of a type localized and sorted in that locale's collation — ideal for building a country, language or currency dropdown in any language. Powered by the platform's full ICU data (Intl.DisplayNames) and computed locally with no network calls. Built for internationalised forms and pickers, multilingual UIs, localized reports and onboarding. A localized-names resolver — distinct from country reference data in English (countries), number and currency formatting (numberformat) and locale date formatting (datelocale). No upstream key, no cache.

Look up visa requirements between 199 passports and 199 destinations: whether a passport holder needs a visa, can enter visa-free, gets a visa on arrival, an e-visa or an eTA, or is not admitted — including the allowed length of stay in days. Get a full breakdown for any passport (every destination with category counts and a passport-power mobility score), the reverse view for any destination (which passports may enter), a ranking that compares the mobility of several passports, and the list of supported countries. Countries can be given as ISO-2, ISO-3 or exact name, and every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body. Pure server-side data (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for travel-booking flows, relocation and immigration tools, fintech onboarding and travel apps.
