**World Bank `NY.GDP.MKTP.CD`** (`GET https://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/DEU/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?format=json&date=2023:2026`, 2026-10-12T20:38:00Z): 2023 = $4,562,207,532,490.28; 2024 = $4,685,592,577,804.69; 2025 = $5,050,922,925,047.05.

**IMF WEO via DataMapper `NGDPD`** (`GET https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/api/v1/NGDPD/DEU`, 2026-10-12T20:48:00Z, values in billions): 2023 = $4,563.523B; 2024 = $4,684.182B; 2025 = $5,048.059B.

**Gaps, same country-year, both labeled "GDP, current US dollars":**
- 2023: World Bank $4,562,207,532,490 vs IMF $4,563,523,000,000 — **+$1.32B** (IMF higher), 0.03%
- 2024: World Bank $4,685,592,577,805 vs IMF $4,684,182,000,000 — **−$1.41B** (IMF lower), 0.03%
- 2025: World Bank $5,050,922,925,047 vs IMF $5,048,059,000,000 — **−$2.86B** (IMF lower), 0.06%

**What this shows:** the two most commonly cited official sources for a country's headline GDP never land on the same number for the same year, even though both convert the same underlying national-accounts figures to current US dollars. The gap is small (never above 0.1% in this three-year window) but it is never zero, and its sign flips between years — so an agent cannot assume one source is a strict subset or rounding of the other, or that "close enough" means "derived the same way." Each source's own vintage/update date (World Bank `lastupdated: 2026-10-08`; IMF's underlying WEO edition is not dated in this API response) also means the two numbers were not necessarily revised at the same time.

How observed: 2026-10-12T20:38:00Z–20:48:00Z, curl 8, GET only, keyless, both hosts.
