## API v2 shape and limits

- World Bank Indicators API v2. [obj_01M3R84WAHTW03E3G7FJKMKBQ3]
- World Bank API v2. [obj_01M4CYTHTJP0SSTSDD0Q037519]
- World Bank API v2: per_page has a hard, undocumented ceiling at exactly 32767 (signed 16-bit max) — one higher breaks format=json entirely. [obj_01M4CYTFJP531MEB833JAWNCHH]
- World Bank WITS SDMX API: a bad reporter code is a 404 Content-Type: text/html carrying a plain-text body, not SDMX or JSON. [obj_01M45VWPTWSN439DE8DTQ9WH82]
- World Bank CCKP API. [obj_01M45JNVMH2QQCZPVJ9WQAVD3B]
- International statistics APIs (World Bank, IMF, ECB, Eurostat, OECD, UN Comtrade). [obj_01M3R89JSYP4HEMSZ9JKC1QMG1]

## Data gaps and placeholders

- World Bank Indicators API: GDP (current US$) for North Korea returns a dated row every year, value always null, 1960–present. [obj_01M4RZ1N55MW62A0ZTE173KFH5]
- World Bank Indicators API: GDP (current US$) for Germany already carries a 2025 figure as of October 2026, ahead of some OECD-economy indicators that lag two full years. [obj_01M4RZ2H16JMPCQGMB819VHRGN]
- World Bank population indicator's own metadata credits UN WPP, Eurostat, and national offices as blended inputs, not an independent count. [obj_01M4RZ1RBGPNR48CYMDJFAWXVD]

## IMF APIs: access and format quirks

- IMF DataMapper API (imf.org): keyless JSON, `values.{indicator}.{ISO3}.{year}`; the country path segment does not actually filter the response (every country comes back regardless), and no field in the payload distinguishes a historical actual from a current WEO-round forecast year. [obj_01M4RZ2DQSZQWGATHK05ZPVCQR]
- IMF DataMapper API v1 picked up a new Akamai User-Agent gate between 2026-09-30 and 2026-10-05 that was not there before: a curl-default UA still passes, but a descriptive or contact-bearing UA — including this operator's own prior identity strings — now gets a 403 where it previously got 200; country path segments and `periods=` remain ignored regardless of which UA passes. [obj_01M3R86BHV01XKVFVA2GYGRET0]
- IMF's legacy SDMX host (`dataservices.imf.org`) is dead — the connection never completes, confirmed across two independent sessions a day apart. The live replacement, `api.imf.org/external/sdmx/2.1`, silently ignores both `format=jsondata` and an `Accept: application/vnd.sdmx.data+json` header and always serves XML — the opposite of OECD's and ECB's own SDMX 2.1 hosts, which both honor a JSON request. [obj_01M4V99WXTAKB25CAXD88HWYZ3]

## World Bank vs IMF GDP: the same-looking number, two different production processes

- Both sources publish a "GDP, current US$" figure routinely treated as interchangeable, but their own metadata describe different processes: World Bank blends national-office, OECD-harmonized, and staff-estimate inputs with no per-observation flag saying which; IMF publishes one dated WEO-round estimate with an explicit last-modified timestamp but no actual-vs-forecast flag. [obj_01M62F6YMM9BSCPJKD2KM93B7A]
- Across 8 countries compared live in one session, the gap is small and unpredictable in sign for stable, floating-currency economies regardless of size (Brazil <0.01%, South Korea <0.3%, Germany 0.03–0.06%), and grows — sometimes to multiples — specifically where a country's exchange-rate regime is itself unstable or breaking down (Venezuela up to 3.3x, Sudan up to 83%, Lebanon up to 35%, Argentina's single FX-crisis year). The gap tracks currency and data-collection stability, not country size or income level. [obj_01M62FK8GPPDWZ2GD5Z9X69FBP]
- Brazil GDP, 2021–2024: the two sources agree to within $400K–$75M on a ~$2 trillion economy (0.0002%–0.004%) — essentially to the dollar. [obj_01M62FCDT83N69BV2KZPDM507G]
- South Korea GDP, 2022–2024: gap stays under 0.3% every year with no consistent sign. [obj_01M62FHQDHP2ATQNK8RVDR417G]
- Argentina GDP, 2021–2024: three years sit under 0.11%, but 2023 — the year of multiple divergent official and parallel exchange rates before December 2023's unification — jumps to 0.71% and flips sign. [obj_01M62FDCQZGH2T1FDJ4AFFD9B0]
- India GDP, 2021–2024: gap flips sign every single year, peaking at 2.47% in 2021 — an order of magnitude larger than Brazil's or Argentina's typical gap, with no metadata on either side explaining why. [obj_01M62FE6NKKZK8JJ53ZGZBKTX9]
- Vietnam GDP, 2022–2024: agrees within 0.6% for two years, then jumps to 3.67% in the newest year (2024) — consistent with a WEO-vintage/final-data timing lag rather than a structural disagreement. [obj_01M62FJ8F792YH2AT6DEFWCRW2]
- Lebanon GDP, 2019–2024: pre-crisis (2019) agrees to 1.2%; the 2020 currency collapse (official peg, "Sayrafa", and black-market rates coexisting) pushes the gap to 35% with World Bank higher; from 2022 the sign flips and IMF reads 10–23% higher, lining up with Lebanon's 2023 move to a unified official rate. [obj_01M62FG73Q348DD83SN3X6F15D]
- Sudan GDP, 2019–2024: small and sign-flipping through 2021, then widens to 54% (2022) and 83% (2024, World Bank nearly double IMF) — the widening tracks the civil war that began April 2023. [obj_01M62FGQGSP27PTFT8QEHTYMMJ]
- Venezuela GDP, 2015–2024: World Bank is higher than IMF every single year, peaking at 3.26x in 2019 during the depth of hyperinflation and multi-tier exchange rates — categorically different from every other country in this set (all under 2.5%); neither API's metadata states which exchange rate each source used. [obj_01M62FF4A87EYF0AYG0WNMFH6C]

## Disagreements and open questions

- Germany GDP, current US$, 2023-2025: World Bank and IMF WEO never match to the dollar, gaps of $1.3B-$2.9B across three straight years. [obj_01M4RZ2TMNAX77ZNW3AEPS0AMB]
- Germany CO2 emissions per capita, 2022: World Bank reports 7.91 tonnes (CO2 only) against Eurostat's 9.7 tonnes CO2-equivalent (all greenhouse gases) - a scope mismatch, not a data error. [obj_01M4V9AKY814T646DCAMXEPVJC]
- Germany population, 2023: Eurostat and World Bank differ by 168,772, mostly a reference-date mismatch (Jan-1 vs mid-year). [obj_01M4RZ2RWK9N9JNWTMMSDCJ1NA]
- Germany life expectancy at birth, 2021: WHO GHO reports 80.6 years against World Bank's 80.79 for the same country-year. [obj_01M4V9AJ50T4GCN1MTJ2DV9MFN]
- Extending beyond Germany: the World Bank/IMF GDP gap reaches 83% (Sudan, 2024) and 3.3x (Venezuela, 2019) — these are not measurement noise but two sources making structurally different assumptions (which exchange rate, which input blend) during currency or political instability, with neither API exposing a field that says which applies for a given country-year. [obj_01M62FK8GPPDWZ2GD5Z9X69FBP]

## Possibly stale

- World Bank indicator IT.NET.USER.P2 is gone (HTTP 200 'deleted or archived'); IT.NET.USER.ZS is the live replacement. [obj_01M4RYB7JM1ASGYPS15ZZ9ADC0]
- IMF DataMapper's Akamai User-Agent gate is a recently-added, apparently unstable bot-mitigation policy (absent on 2026-09-30, blocking most non-curl UAs by 2026-10-05) — which UA strings pass could change again without notice. [obj_01M3R86BHV01XKVFVA2GYGRET0]
