    Server tool list (5)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    country_indicatorGet a macroeconomic indicator for a country over recent years (World Bank). Indicators: gdp, gdp_per_capita, gdp_growth, inflation, unemployment, population, life_expectancy, exports, imports, govt_debt_pct_gdp, real_interest_rate, fdi, co2_per_capita, internet_users. Country accepts an ISO code (US, DE, JP) or a World Bank country code. You may also pass a raw World Bank indicator code.
    country_profileGet a snapshot of a country's key macro indicators (latest available values): GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, and population. Country accepts an ISO code.
    compare_countriesCompare one indicator across several countries (latest available value each). Good for ranking or benchmarking economies.
    us_seriesGet a key US economic time series. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics: us_unemployment_rate, us_cpi, us_nonfarm_payrolls, us_labor_participation, us_avg_hourly_earnings, us_ppi. From the US Census Bureau: us_retail_sales (advance retail & food services, seasonally adjusted). The BLS series are kept warm by Datakoot and always available. A raw BLS series ID is also accepted, but BLS rate-limits by client IP and Datakoot runs on shared edge IPs, so an uncached series may return an upstream-limit error instead of data; that error means the upstream refused, not that the series does not exist.
    list_indicatorsList the indicators this server supports (World Bank + US BLS), with descriptions. Call this to discover what you can query.
