## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured macroeconomic data from the World Bank covering GDP, trade, employment, or any of thousands of official development indicators across countries — especially for research, benchmarking, or economic modeling tasks. Prefer this over news or market-data APIs when you need standardized longitudinal government-reported economic statistics rather than real-time market prices or news sentiment.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not recognized results in no data returned
- Network timeout or upstream World Bank API unavailability causes request failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure at $0.01 USDC per call blocks access
