Hey is there anyway to get information such as population for more than one country at a time? I would like to get all of the countries populations all tallied up into one place if I could. That way I can compare one population to the worlds. Right now I want it specifically for population but I will want other data too if possible, GDP, % Population Increase, etc.

Thanks!

Hi Philipp,
if you include into "tallied up into one place" the 3rd dimension the see my website "www.meliesart.de":

For years, I make 3D printed, tangible datasculptures, many of them using World Bank data. On the website you find a pysical world map of population by countries (year 2050), a landscape of nearly all economies with their GDP (PPP) as xy-areas vs ranking of Doing Business (z), per capita income world maps etc, most of them can be ordered at Sculpteo and iMaterialize etc.

If you have further questions or need 300dpi photos, please send me a mail.

Best regards

Phillip: if you use "all" in place of the country code then the API returns data for all countries, for instance:


Hope this helps,
Tim

Did the API recently change? 'all' appears to return a subset with only
the country: 1A.

I've tried different format and per_page values but still gives a subset.
