## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official World Bank macroeconomic or development indicator time series data for a specific country — including GDP, unemployment, inflation, poverty, trade, health, or education statistics. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative, multi-year numeric data suitable for analysis or charting. Best for research, economic reporting, policy analysis, or data enrichment tasks requiring internationally standardized statistics.
