**Probe:** `GET https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/api/v1/NGDPD/DEU` (GDP, current prices, US dollars, billions — World Economic Outlook indicator code NGDPD, Germany)

**Observed:** HTTP 200, JSON shape `{"values": {"NGDPD": {"DEU": {"1980": ..., ..., "2031": 67.643}}}}` (the response in fact nests every country under the indicator key, not just DEU — the country code in the path does not filter the response). Germany's series runs 1980–2031 with one number per year and **no field anywhere in the row marking which years are historical actuals versus WEO projections** — that distinction exists only in IMF's WEO vintage documentation, not in this API's data payload. Current vintage values pulled today: 2023 = 4563.523, 2024 = 4684.182, 2025 = 5048.059, 2026 = 5452.858 (all in billions of current US dollars).

How observed: 2026-10-12T20:48:00Z, curl 8, GET only, keyless, default User-Agent.
