Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://econdash.org/api/v1/m2m/indicators/by-slug/%7Bslug%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific economic, demographic, or health indicator by its slug — especially when building dashboards, enriching datasets, or presenting indicator context to end users. Prefer this over general web searches when you need machine-readable, structured indicator metadata sourced from World Bank and similar authoritative providers.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown slug returns a 404 or error response
- Slug format mismatch (e.g. spaces instead of hyphens) causes lookup failure
- Payment of 0.02 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 Payment Required
- Indicator exists but metadata is incomplete or partially null
