| get_historical_data | Get historical time series (20+ years) for a country and indicator pair. |

| get_series_data | High-frequency (daily/weekly/monthly) series: US Treasury yield curve (UST.YC.3M … UST.YC.30Y), SOFR/EFFR/OBFR, CORRA and GoC yields, central bank policy rates for ~38 economies (BIS.CBPOL.M/D), monthly CPI inflation for ~190 countries (IMF.CPI.YOY.M, IMF.CPI.FOOD.YOY.M), monthly 10-year government bond yields for 40+ countries (OECD.IRLT.10Y), monthly unemployment (ILO.UNEMP.RT.M, EUROSTAT.UNEMP.RT.M), Eurostat HICP/industrial production/retail (EUROSTAT.*.M), monthly electricity (EMBER.ELEC.*.M), and daily shipping chokepoint transits plus weekly port trade volumes (PORTWATCH.*). Call list_series to browse. Every response carries source licence and attribution. |
| list_series | List the high-frequency series catalog (rates, yields, monthly labour and energy) with frequency, unit, source, and licence for each. |
| compare_sources | Cross-source reconciliation: for one concept (e.g. GDP), return the IMF, World Bank, and UN values side by side per country, with the year each source reports. Sources legitimately disagree — different vintages, exchange-rate conventions, and revision cycles; this tool makes the disagreement visible instead of hiding it. Works for concepts with a multi-source mapping (GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth, population, and others). |
| get_release_calendar | Institutional release schedules with primary source URLs. Date-passed status does not confirm publication. Related series readings retain their own reference periods and current values; their match to the scheduled release is not verified. |
