World Bank Indicators Search

Search the World Bank's World Development Indicators catalog, about 1,500 indicators, by words in the name or definition and by topic (poverty, education, health, social_protection_labor, financial_sector, economy...). Each result carries the indicator code to pass to world-bank-indicator-values, its name, unit, topics, definition and the organization that produces the data. Served by Croma from its copy (as_of says how current the data is).

Dataset endpoint: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries as_of.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring
Example:0f8e9a42-6b7c-4d1e-9a3f-2c5d7e8f9a0b

Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID). Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup: repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is always safe. The key is echoed back in the Idempotency-Key response header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt that reaches the API counts against the rate limit.
