Isn't the underlying data free?
Yes. You pay SOTW for normalization, a consistent schema, weekly refreshes, attribution metadata, delivery, rate limits, and support. You are not buying ownership of public facts.
Can I use the data commercially?
API and MCP read access includes the same published catalog on every tier, with source and reuse metadata attached. Two bundles are cleared for paid bulk delivery: 283 World Bank indicators reviewed against their current per-indicator metadata, and the Forecast Revision Database of archived IMF World Economic Outlook readings. They ship as separate files with separate source notices, because their terms differ. Every other source can be read and cited through the API but stays out of paid bulk delivery unless its terms permit it. Provider attribution and source-specific terms always apply, and IMF data is available free of charge from the IMF.
Does API Pro include Data Pro?
Yes. API Pro includes the full Data Pro download bundle as well as the higher API and MCP allowance.
What is the Forecast Revision Database?
Most providers overwrite a forecast when it is revised, so only the current one survives. This archive keeps the figures from 36 IMF World Economic Outlook releases, April 2008 to October 2026, covering 197 countries and 6 indicators across 1.32M+ rows; some releases in that span are missing. Each row is a figure one release gave for one target year, so you can see how far ahead a downturn showed up or how much the IMF's figure for a year moved before and after the year arrived. Rows also carry a horizon column: the target year minus the release year. It does not establish whether a reading is an observation, estimate or forecast. Coverage follows the IMF: countries it does not publish, such as several small territories, have no panel and no forecast page section. Where a country does have history, its current-year revisions are free to read; the paid bundle is the whole panel as one file, plus ?full=1 on the API.
