About World Bank Open Data
World Bank Open Data is a free, open catalog of macroeconomic and development indicators covering GDP, inflation, population, trade and many more series for nearly every country.
clariBI reads World Bank Open Data through its public REST API: the yearly history of the indicators you choose, for the country you set. You enter the indicator codes (for example NY.GDP.MKTP.CD for GDP), and the connector reads the series read-only. No API key is required.
Vendor site: data.worldbank.org
What clariBI syncs
clariBI pulls the yearly history of the indicators you select through the World Bank Open Data REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it once it is more than a day old. Access is read-only.
For each selected indicator, clariBI syncs the yearly value for the country you choose, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. World Bank Open Data is an open data source, so there is no key or account to manage.
What you can chart
- Yearly value per indicator over your chosen window
- Long-run trend and turning points by country
- Year-over-year change in an indicator
- Comparison across the indicators you track
- Macro context lined up with your revenue years
How to connect World Bank Open Data
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources > Add Data Source and find World Bank Open Data. There is no API key to paste, so you go straight to choosing indicators.
Choose indicators and country
Enter the indicator codes to track (for example NY.GDP.MKTP.CD or FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG) and set the country. clariBI pulls the full yearly series and reads it read-only.
Sync, then get dashboards
clariBI syncs the yearly values, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did GDP growth track our regional revenue?" and clariBI reads the synced indicators alongside your business data.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "How much of our growth tracked the wider economy?"
- "Did local inflation outpace our price increases?"
