## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative macroeconomic data directly from the IMF World Economic Outlook database — especially for GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, debt, or current account indicators with multi-year historical series and official IMF forecasts. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable time series with forecast years for a specific country or a ranked cross-country comparison.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported IMF indicator code returns no data or error
- Invalid ISO3 country code returns no country match
- IMF data unavailable for a specific country/indicator combination returns empty series
- Network or upstream IMF data source outage causes failure
