UN SDG API
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as an API, powered by the official UN Statistics Division SDG API. The SDGs are the world's shared plan — 17 goals, 169 targets and 200+ indicators — to end poverty and hunger, ensure good health and quality education, achieve gender equality, provide clean water and affordable energy, drive decent work and economic growth, build sustainable cities, take climate action and protect life on land and below water, all by 2030. Browse the 17 goals with their full titles and descriptions; open any goal to see every target and the indicators that measure it; list the statistical data series behind an indicator (with their machine codes and descriptions); pull a series' complete time-series for any country — each data point with its year, value, unit, breakdown dimensions (sex, age, location, …) and source; and look up countries, regions and the world with their UN M49 numeric area codes. Ideal for development research, NGO and policy dashboards, journalism, ESG and sustainability reporting, and education. Indicator codes come from the goal endpoint, series codes from the series endpoint, and area codes from the areas endpoint (276 = Germany, 826 = United Kingdom, 1 = World). Data from the UN Statistics Division Global SDG Indicators Database.

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.
