Questions
How do I get access?
World Bank Open Data is part of Apizie Finance, a premium add-on from $49 a month that runs next to any Apizie plan. See /finance#pricing.
Is this the official World Bank Open Data data?
Yes. Apizie calls The World Bank's own public API (api.worldbank.org) and returns the result as JSON. Every response links the official page and API URL it came from. Apizie is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC, the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the U.S. Treasury, GLEIF or the World Bank.
How do I cite World Bank Open Data data from Apizie?
Use the source block in the response: source.attribution is a ready-made line, source.url is a page a reader can open, and source.retrievedAt is when the data was fetched.
What licence applies?
Mostly CC BY 4.0, attribution required (check each dataset's licence). Read the publisher's terms at https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/all-licenses. These sources are part of Apizie Finance, and your Finance plan sets how you may use the data: inside your company on Finance Starter, in your own product with attribution on Finance Growth and Business. Redistribution needs an Enterprise agreement.
Can I get notified when World Bank Open Data publishes something new?
Yes, with Apizie Finance. Data alerts send a signed data.changed webhook and a dashboard notification when the source updates.
