Statistics of the World
Statistics of the World re-publishes IMF and World Bank macroeconomic indicators (GDP, population, inflation, and 440+ others) for 218 countries through a small Next.js-hosted JSON API. A live probe of the real endpoint (statisticsoftheworld.com/api/v2/history) confirms it's a genuine, working service — it returns proper 404 JSON error bodies for bad query params and carries `X-RateLimit-*` response headers for an unauthenticated "anonymous" tier, with an `X-API-Key` header accepted for a higher tier.
